The four of us obviously got this Homemade Ghostbusters Costume idea from the movie “Ghostbusters.” It took awhile to think of what to use for the costume. We used a white hooded suit, that is similar to a hazmat suit – which ended up being extra larges when we got them in the mail, but … Read more
The homemade Tron costume idea was derived from the internet sensation Tron Guy after seeing him get a web redemption on Tosh.0. I actually contacted Tron Guy via e-mail and he gave me some ideas on how to make the costume. The armor he used was pre-bought and pre-laced with the electroluminescent wire… so this … Read more
For my daughter’s first Halloween I was adamant that she not wear a stereotypical store-bought baby costume. No bugs. No flowers. No pets. No, she had to wear something different. Something original. Something cool. And as with everything I try to make, it had to not only look good, but be functional as well. And … Read more
My 6 year old daughter was recently introduced to the “Star Wars” saga and she absolutely loved and wanted to be the heroine character of Princess Leia. After scouring the internet, and not coming across anything that wasn’t overtly risky (like the slave costume) or goofy, like the fake-looking brown ear muffs intended to be … Read more
I decided that I wanted to make a costume this year instead of buying one as per usual. I started off this Homemade Barf Costume from Spaceballs with going to an military surplus store and purchasing a flight suit. I then got a custom patch made at my local mall (from one of those stands … Read more
This is my costume I made for the 2011 Halloween season. I saw a lot of movies this year and wanted to do something that hasn’t really been done. As my ideas started flowing I just said whatever comes to mind I will just do it. My first instinct was TRON. This is a sequel … Read more
For this homemade Doctor Who (The Fourth Doctor) costume I made the 13-foot-long scarf out of thrift store sweaters (see detailed instructions below), dyed the hat brown and attached a hat band, made the necktie, and restructured the collar of the button-up shirt. ‘Doctor Who’ is a British science fiction series that first began in … Read more
I always wanted a robot costume, but never had a good enough reason to make one. So when I got invited to a Hero & villains Halloween/birthday bash (he was born on the first of Nov!) a robot was the first thing on my mind. It is made out of a hell of a lot … Read more
The legs and arms of my homemade robot Halloween costume are made from dyer vinyl vents, painted silver. The shoes have been duct-taped. A voice changer is hidden inside so that it sounds like a robot. A blinking light top is really a nose from a clown costume and lights are taped inside the back … Read more
This Steampunk Group Costume came from hours of labor, ingenuity, and creativity. The make up alone on me (the monster) took about 4 hours. May I present, Dr. FrankenSTEAM, his Monster, and the Bride. My friends and I had this idea to use Steampunk & Frankenstein together. The great thing about Steampunk is that it … Read more
This is my Halloween Homemade Steampunk Costume from 2010. My mom made the skirt for me (It’s a semi-Victorian skirt with ruffles on the back and bottom) and pretty much everything else came from the mall. I’d had the sweatshirt and shoes for awhile and the blouse was used in another costume.
My 3year old originally wanted to be a dinosaur, he loves dinosaurs but since we did a dragon 2 years ago and the fact that we live in Florida and it is still hot here, I didn’t think it was a good idea. He loves to walk around and say “I am a robot.” Thus, … Read more
