My 4 yr-old son was always banging on everything he could get his hands on. We all started calling him Bam-Bam. My 9 yr-old daughter decided that’s what he should be for Halloween and that segwayed into the whole family being the Flinstone’s. (She of course had to convince her father who never dressed up … Read more
My little girl is 16 months and everytime I put her hair in pigtails, everyone was mention how she looked like the little girl, Boo, from Monsters Inc. So when it came time for Halloween, I knew exactly what I wanted out little family to be! This was my very first sewing project so the … Read more
I was inspired by a photo I found of a little girl dressed like a hobo/clown. I bought my daughter’s tutu and then figured out how to make mine. I put random patches on the pants. My husband’s pants were ten sizes to big for him and had a bulls eye on the seat of them. I cut up socks … Read more
So my son was dead set on being a ghost…boring…. Since we like to do a family theme, what better way to complement him than Ghosbusters?? All three of our costumes were made from materials we had around the house or dug up at the local Goodwill stores. I really enjoyed putting together the outfit … Read more
These costumes were a hit! My friends and I won first place in 3 contests bringing in some nice cash prizes. Because I’m a stickler for details, these costumes took some time to make. The shells are green sledding saucers that we glued fabric and glitter to, to make the shell design. We attached elastic … Read more
We needed a costume for a party and wanted to do something creative, rather than just buying a costume. We thought about making a “Claw” or “Crane Game”. We basically just cut out the front and arm holes, then spray painted the box. Painted some details on the front and added some cheap, old stuffed … Read more
My mother made all costumes for the family. We just added the extras. I made my daughter’s dress of the good witch Glenda by buying from the second hand store a puffy dress. I added a special thing that went under the dress to make it even puffier. Then I got some lace and added … Read more
Admittedly, we just bought the Elmo suit for my oldest son. My Super Grover 2.0 costume was a labor of love, as was the Oscar the Grouch costume: For Grover, I used adult sized footie-pajamas from Target. I made a red cape from fabric I had lying around. The helmet was a child’s toy knight … Read more
My baby was 6 weeks old for his first Halloween, and it was only my second ever Halloween in the USA (I grew up in a country where Halloween wasn’t really celebrated, yet we saw all the “trick or treat” stuff on TV, so I was making up for lost time!). I wanted to do … Read more
I was trying to figure out a tower for my 4 year old’s Halloween Rapunzel costume when her daddy said” I might as well be the tower, she always ends up on my shoulders anyway!”. Off with the Idea I went. I used a cardboard box, fake vines with rosebudsus glue gun, Halloween material, and … Read more
This was the best Halloween idea we have done so far. We LOVE Adventure Time and there are lots of people online who have made costumes and some have even posted the instructions for others to follow. I used some of these posts and added some of my own. I was Fiona and my boys were … Read more
My friend Mariah and I have never missed a school dance, like ever! So the annual Halloween dance was quickly approaching. We always went as the same thing, just not identical. We also usually picked the costume a couple weeks before the dance. Well this time, WE FORGOT! So the day before the dance I … Read more
