I make my daughters' costumes, and...Love this! I make my daughters' costumes, and it reminded me of my mom making me Princess Leia out of a white bedsheet (and about 100 bobby pins in my hair!) the next year it doubled for Casper! My brother was The Incredible Hulk and she made panty hose potatoes to stuff in a green turtle neck to give him "muscles"!! It is a lost art!Spark*Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276725352779571206.post-23173867077342318202013-10-28T13:17:53.130-04:002013-10-28T13:17:53.130-04:00Well you did a fantastic job!

Yay! :D
For the record, when they...ADVENTURE TIME! Yay! :D<br /><br />For the record, when they both put in their bids for dream costumes, I was discouraged, then gave it a few day's thought. It fell together a lot better than I'd dreamed when I realized I didn't need those dang curtains, ha! :DLannishttp://lannis.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276725352779571206.post-18868198134754907812013-10-28T09:27:39.254-04:002013-10-28T09:27:39.254-04:00I bought costumes for the first couple of years, b...I bought costumes for the first couple of years, but then I began to remember how we used to do it. The store-bought costumes are way too thin to be any use, they fall apart after one night, my kids freeze wearing them, and they don't look good. Last year my little girl was a witch (wearing her own clothes and a hat borrowed from a friend) and my son was a demon (wearing his own clothes and some store-bought face paint). This year they want to be the vampires from Adventure Time, which will again use their own clothing, a bit of Halloween makeup, and black wigs (I'd go with washable coloured hair spray, but you don't mess with red hair, stuff just doesn't wash out of that very well). <br /><br /><br />Of course they want different costumes for school (which I fully support, because I'm sure a day at school would completely mess up those wigs), but those are easy too. We have an Adventure Time Finn hat, so that combined with his usual clothes will make my son an easy Finn costume. I suggested to my daughter that she could be a monster, since Monsters Inc. has shown us that monsters can look like anything really. So today I'll be hot gluing felt claws onto dollar store stretchy gloves. A leg of stuffed tights can pin to her pants for a tail, some more felt glued to a headband can make horns, and the rest is all her own clothes and face paint.<br /><br /><br />That said, I envy your zero cost costume creation. Mine always seem to want the costumes that need makeup or accessories.Dawn Sapkowskinoreply@blogger.com
