My husband came up with this fantastic couples costume idea. He wore a suit and we bought him a cheap top hat and bow tie, and he used some monopoly money as props. We found the mustache on Amazon. I used an old bridesmaids dress and added some felt fabric to make Lolli’s dress, then … Read more
I’m not really sure how I came up with this -I just randomly thought of it and decided to go with it. The Colonial sanders costume was simple too make – self explanatory. The chicken was a little harder; I had to attach a feather boa to a white onsie. It literally looked like I … Read more
Bought the wig and the plastic drums….. Every thing else was from Goodwill. My wife covered her eyebrows with makeup and made her makeup just like Lucy’s. My suit was also from Goodwill and the bow-tie was from the 50’s. Tons of hair gel and hairspray too! The drums were a little exaggerated in size, … Read more
We made the can from chicken wire and then a couple of layers of paper mache, then painted on the colours, and then printed letters out on the computer. Secured straps inside to make it easier to carry and cut a hole for Jacks head to pop through. He was really funny waddling around the … Read more
My husband and I decided to dress up as Effie Trinket and Seneca Crane from the “Hunger Games”. For Effie Trinket I used very pale white makeup, pink false eyelashes, pink eye-shadow with blue lipstick in the shape of a heart. I bought a white afro wig and bought a big red flower to stick … Read more
My husband’s costume was easy as he had everything already, but the doe costume was mine to make and I had a blast! I had to figure out how to make the ears so I trolled the stores looking for the perfect kind to convert and, surprisingly, no stores had ears except for cat ears … Read more

Purchased a TON of feathers online (long and short), black dance shorts, nude dance tights, and some black heels. 2) Using a glue gun, glued long feathers first onto corset for the top (bust area) then covered the rest with shorter feathers until all was covered. 3) … Read more
My Rocketeer costume was tons of fun to make. I made my rocket pack from scratch. Everything I used, I could find in my household soda bottles, scope bottle etc… The helmet was the worst, it took the longest. Having to cut, sand and place the lenses in was by far the hardest part. I … Read more
We wanted to go as something fun and creative! The Phil and Lil costumes we bought teal t shirts then cut them into tank tops and put a pink t shirt under. Then we cut out the little shapes that they had on their shirts to glue on along with the buttons on top(the right … Read more
I was looking for something adorable and toddler friendly (nothing too tight, uncomfortable, nothing she would take off like a hat). I am not crafty but was quite pleased with myself when the Oompa Loompa costume was complete. People loved it, lots of compliments. Items from Kids’ Consignment Store: Brown Shirt, White Sweatpants Already Owned: Brown … Read more
This Grammer Girl group costume actually was a very easy costume! We are first grade teachers and every Feb. we serve pancakes at McDonald’s to raise money for our classrooms. It gets pretty hard to come up with something new, because we dress up for Halloween also! This was our idea this year. We let the … Read more
It was so hard for me to come up with a great couples costume for myself and my awesome boyfriend. I wanted something original and funny, but also something I would be comfortable portraying as a plus size woman. Famous people tend to be on the more petite side and I didn’t want to feel … Read more
