We are newlyweds, and the process of making this costume almost caused 2 divorces. Just kidding. We are huge fans of the cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force and this was a costume we originally wanted to make in 2014, I had even ordered the foam board and had been storing it all year. We procrastinated … Read more
This year my son 7 year old son Aiden wanted to a Jellyfish costume. His class is currently studying sea creatures and he loves reading about jellyfish & starfish. First, I used a clear bubble umbrella for the frame of the jelly. I covered the frame with rolled up bubble wrap, spiraled from top to … Read more
I would first like to thank you for hosting this event which not only allows, but inspires, people to embrace their creative side and strive for innovation. This costume was first inspired by Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood music video. The video has a very dark, deadly, futuristic feel. I had concert tickets to the Taylor … Read more
I made this Jellyfish costume for my five year old niece as part of the underwater theme that her and her brother chose this year. I originally planned to take a clear umbrella, toss on some battery operated lights and glue some ribbon on. However, I decided to take it a few steps further. After seeing … Read more
This year I decided to create an old-school Alien costume with a UFO, something that I’ve wanted to do ever since I was a kid.

First off, … Read more

So I researched how to solder and connect it, then began my project. I bought simple robes for my husband and myself and made them into the basis for the … Read more

It seemed a little ambitious at first to create LED-lit Jellyfish costumes that would be believable and funny, yet cute. But I am so pleased with how they turned out and we really were the hit of the party (many parties) on Halloween. Here’s how I made them: I started by purchasing two felt cowboy … Read more
I am wearing my costume. I got the idea from the movie Tron. I wanted a full body suit and lights that actually light up like the ones in the movie Tron for my costume. I used four 30 foot battery operated neon blue LED lights, a Nerf gun, a bodysuit, a corset, white spray … Read more
An ode to these mystical creatures of the sea, this costume is an anatomically correct one-of-a-kind, original creation that I invented after an inspiring visit to an aquarium. I learned many fascinating things about seahorses in my journey to create the most realistic representation possible, which proved to only add to the fun. The costume … Read more
This costume was inspired by the Glowy Zoey baby stick figure costume posted sometime last year. I liked the idea, but I wasn’t a fan of LEDs as it produces an obvious pixelated look. I liked the look of EL wire, but as that had already been done many times over, EL wire is also … Read more
