Cool Swamp Monster Costume
I made this Swamp Monster Costume from a pair of long johns covered with a real fishnet, burlap and airbrushed. Covered hair with facial mud and airbrushed hair. Teeth were pumpkin teeth with liquid latex. Cut up strips of rubber cupboard liner for the hood.
Divine Poison Ivy Costume
This is my version of Poison Ivy, the positively Divine Batman villains (see what I did there?). My friends and I decided to dress up as heroes and villains – more specifically DC and Marvel characters – for our very last day of school ever, and I chose Poison Ivy as I have always wanted … Read more
Coolest Cupcake Headdress Costume
This is a strawberry headdress / costume my hubby and I made for my 4-yr old preschooler, which was used during a school musical presentation in 2011. It is made up of cardboard, foam, white cloth, and some fabric paint. It’s the perfect cupcake headdress costume.
Coolest Cupcake Homemade Costume
I love making cupcakes! So as soon as Halloween rolled around, I knew exactly what I wanted to be. Being 22, most store-bought Halloween costumes for my age group are more like lingerie, so for the past few years, I’ve been making my own costumes and I love it! However, a cupcake seemed tricky and … Read more
Coolest I Love Lucy Costume
I had wanted to do a Black & White Halloween character and started to look into movie and TV personalities. Since the I Love Lucy show began in 1951 and was only broadcasted in B & W, I thought it would be a perfect costume. The trouble was trying to find out what makeup to … Read more

Original Zombie Cat Costume for a 5-Year-Old Girl
When I asked my 5 year old daughter what she wanted to be for Halloween, she responded: a cat. I thought, simple enough. But then she continued, “Except, I’m going to have blood coming out of my eyes and you’re going to be able to see my bones!!” Well, that’s creative but I knew I’d … Read more
Most Original Chocolate Milk Bag Costume
In Israel, a favorite kid’s snack is chocolate milk in a bag. They tear off the corner with their teeth and drink. I don’t think this ‘sophisticated’ concept has reached most other countries, but you could use this basic idea to make a juice drink costume, potato chip costume, or any other product that comes in … Read more
Pretty Hand-Crafted Peacock Halloween Costume
I created this peacock Halloween costume by making a tutu out of various colors of tulle (teal, black and purple), gluing peacock feathers which I ordered in bulk on the internet (and “special” ones from my local craft store) all over a corset, and getting long peacock feathers from my local zoo which I attached … Read more
You Will Definitely Like this FaceBook Page Costume
Until this year, I’ve always purchased our costumes, since my sewing skills are pretty much limited to sewing on buttons or closing up a simple seam. But my 11 year old daughter, Meital, told me she was way too old for princess costumes, and she wanted something original. Meital originally thought about making something from … Read more
Original Pot O’ Gold Costume
I wanted to do an original/homemade costume and saw a picture of a girl as a sexy leprechaun next to a guy painted gold with a pot around his waist. My husband was not all for painting his body gold and I was not at all for wearing a tiny little dress. So I switched the … Read more
