My Katy Perry loving daughter Paige, got it in her head last year, after being an Icee Drink (check out my last year’s costume on this site!), that she would be Katy Perry for this year! No store bought costumes for my kids, as they now know I am crazy enough to accept the challenge! … Read more
Bring it on down to liquorville! One of my favorite skits on Saturday night live. I fell in love with their costumes and decided to try to make my own version of the wine. I went out and got just a regular ivory dress, then bought about 20 plastic grape bunches. I wrapped the grapes … Read more
I attend an “Adult” theme Halloween party every year and everyone really goes all out with their costumes. The results vary from mild to wild, with me usually being the wild part.

A bra, a belt, booty shorts, fabric, jewels, glitter and hot glue! Took me about a week to put together. I stayed away from sewing for the fact, well I’m not good at it! Hot glue was key for everything. The top was the hardest part but it turned out exactly how I wanted. After … Read more
I wanted to gender bend the controversial VMA performance of Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke. I made a simple lace up romper for my husband from fabric and felt. I chopped up a wig cuz pig tails did not look right on him – much funnier with the wig. I made a foam finger too! For my Robin Thicke, … Read more
In 2011, I went as Katy Perry from her “Alien” video. I made the costume from scratch and through lots of trial and error it took me about a month and a half to complete. The breast plate was the hardest part to figure out. It is made from plastic that was melted and formed … Read more
I wanted to wear a multi colored tutu and since I have been a pop star each year for Halloween I decided to stick with that theme.

At the time my husband and I wore this costume I had a major crush on Trace Adkins so my goal was to go on a date with him. I transformed my husband into Trace first and mine was secondary. It was easy to get the clothes, hat, and boots – borrowing from friends. All … Read more
This was done a number of years ago. We were inspired by the bad girls of Hollywood. We decided to have KFED and make a rap for him to perform. We made the cars for each of the girls. Britney, Paris and Lindsey each had their drama so real easy to make a rap about … Read more

Last year I decided to make my own costume for Halloween. I love Katy Perry and all of her fun and glittery costumes, so I attempted to recreate her “California Girls” costume she wears in the music video. I had so much fun making this Katy Perry California Girl costume. I love being crafty and I … Read more
