My husband is actually the one who came up with the idea of The Flinstones. He is a DJ for the local Pub where he works, and we decided to get into the spirit of Halloween although I must say we have not done since our kids were young.
So out comes the sewing machine. The kids also enjoyed in the fun watching us be "Cartoon Characters". At their tender ages of 22, 20 and 15 they no longer want to dress for the Holiday.
I decided that fleece would be the best material to use, but unfortunately I could not find patterns. For Fred I chose a Big T-Shirt and traced the material a little bigger and measured the length by having my husband put on one of my dress. What a sight, but I had to remind him that it was his idea.
I cut the spots out of felt and hand sewed them on and for the tie, just turquoise cotton, and stitched it around the collar.
For Wilma, a bit harder trying to fit myself. I pinned the material on my shoulders and took a marker to draw the curves. For her necklace I used Styrofoam balls threaded with elastic. I also decided to use a Red Wash Rinse for my hair because the canned spray flakes off. Experience from a Mom with Kids. We had a blast that evening and everyone really enjoyed how unique the Fred and Wilma Flinstones Halloween costumes were.
I have a year to put my mind to work, I will definitely do this again!!
