This costume was inspired by a picture of a storm figurine statue I saw online. I like original ideas and felt this was it. I was always into art but never did anything with my talent. I became an RN and felt like I lost myself and the things I truly enjoyed. I’ve recently tried … Read more
This is 3 month old son Collin. He has teamed craziest longest hair for such a little guy. It always sticks straight up in the air and one day I thought it looks like he was struck by lightning. Further thought made me think, hey, that would be a great Halloween costume!!! So here is … Read more
Here’s how we made our “Struck by Lightning” couple costume for under $20! Woman’s Outfit: The outfit starts with an old umbrella cut apart to appear to be destroyed by a lighning bolt. The shirt was bought from Goodwill, and small sections were twisted to a point and lit on fire for 2-3 seconds, and … Read more
I was given a week to come up with an award winning costume for my kids to be at their very first “fright night” in The Colony, TX. I searched online and came up with the idea of my kids being the iCloud. I had seen people dressed as an iPod or an iPhone but … Read more
I used the dress I made for my 5 yr old daughter for last Halloween 2013, as Queen Tara from Epic. The skirt was supposed to represent petals from a flower, as it did in the movie. It took quite a bit of trial and error and questimating. It did have a very small train … Read more

And surprisingly enough, the costume came out pretty much exactly like I had pictured it. Here’s what I used for the tornado: Metal Flower … Read more
My daughter has naturally crazy hair so I wanted to use that to my advantage and came up with the idea of struck by lightning baby costume. To Make the Costume I took a onesie, cut holes in it and then burned the edges. I also put dark eyeshadow in spots to make it look dirty. … Read more
My 4 year old son told me last Spring that he wanted to be a Sharknado for Halloween (after he saw Sharknado 2). I laughed it off, but as fall got closer, he wouldn’t let up and I knew I had to figure it out. I made one that fell apart in minutes at the … Read more
I wanted a costume that was original and funny this year, and I think this Sharknado Costume came out perfect. I started with the top of the tornado, using wire to create two different sized circles that connected. I used a frame for a wreath that I found at a craft store and manipulated. I … Read more
So this homemade Rain Cloud costume was inspired by one my best friend’s photograph of a sunset. We live in Costa Rica Guanacaste in a little town called Tamarindo and it has been very dry this season so this costume was also a pray to the rain Gods to send some more moisture our way. … Read more
My son loves weather (we even went to the National Weather Service for his birthday this year) so when it came to Halloween, he decided he wanted to be a tornado this year. I took a hula hoop and used that as the base. I took a piece of brown fabric and sewed it to … Read more
