I wanted to create a different kind of costume and what’s better than homemade? I chose cardboard because it was readily available and I’m better with a hot glue gun than a sewing machine. The outer shell is cardboard boxes from my husbands past job at lazyboy, the “guts* were purchased from my local Dollar … Read more
I found the zombie baby belly at a costume shop and went from there. The belly was battery operated, I would press a little button that was under my shirt and the baby’s head would come out of a rotten belly and start screaming like a demon, his eyes would flash red too! The belly was … Read more
This was my first time I’ve ever dressed up so dramatically! I really enjoyed this costume, it was simple, inexpensive, and spooky! I used make up from Walmart (any brand will work). I purchased light colored foundation (a lot lighter than my skin to give it that pale look) & then I applied baby powder … Read more
It all started with a love for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Pure Imagination. Standing at just 4’11 and 3/4″, I often turn to short things for Halloween costumes. Of these have been a gnome, leprechaun, smurf, and of course and Oompa Loompa. I had my costume all ready to go for my … Read more
I love dressing up for Halloween! But 2012’s Betty Boop costume/makeup has got to be my favorite…so far! I love Betty Boop, have her tattooed on my forearm and it was inevitable that I would dress up as her for Halloween one day, I just wasn’t sure if I would be able to pull it … Read more
I decided I was going to do this because I was texting my friend, and we we’re running out of things to talk about, so I randomly asked her, “what should I be for Halloween?”. She responded with “hold on”, and I didn’t expect her to reply, but about 10-15 minutes later, she sent me … Read more
This was for a movie costume party. But it goes well for Halloween since it is verry scarry! I also did a sign saying “Why so serious”. There is no pictures of my entire body, but I was wearing sexy shorts and heals, so the costume can also be sexy and you can look gorg! … Read more
For Halloween, I always try to go as all out as I can to enjoy myself before and during the wicked season. Previously, I had not tried to go dark and mysterious with my costumes. I had only tried to make myself a good costume with no regard to the “scary- factor” of any of them. … Read more
I absolutely adore Halloween, which is not as per usual for a young person- nonetheless for a young lady. Every year I try to out do myself from the year before with an outrageous idea or unbelievable makeup. I wanted to make some sort of cat costume one year, because I love cats almost as much as … Read more
Inspired by Día de Muertos my boyfriend and I did our make-up ourselves and went thrift shopping and used clothes already on hand to complete the look. We got a TON of complements and even got a heartfelt thank you from a Mexican woman for representing her country! I did a lot of Googling and … Read more
As a Cub leader, I’m a massive fan of dressing up. When we had a Medieval themed night in the program, my head spun with ideas! I decided that I would go as someone with the black plague. Educational, interactive, disgusting! The priority was to create realistic boils. I did this using large sized bubble … Read more
I have two children a boy age three and a girl age six. Kayden, my daughter, is very opinionated about her costume choices and ideas. She has a very clear idea of what she wants to be and won’t settle for anything less. haha. My son on the other hand is three, he couldn’t care … Read more
