Homemade Alien Costumes
These alien costumes were made from a Simplicity pattern. Both costumes were made from liquid lame fabric which is stretchy and comfortable. The helmets are made from acrylic globes which have the face portion cut out. The globes are actually exterior light fixture covers which I found on the internet.
The boy's boots are rain boots which I spray painted gold and added the star decals to (I made the decals from scraps of the lame fabric). The girl's shoes are inexpensive silver shoes which I also added decals to.
The space girl's pigtails were made from pink metallic cheerleader pom poms which I found at the dollar store. The antenna are really neat - they are actually glow sticks. I made them by drilling two holes on the helmets and placing clear plastic tubes through them. This way the glow sticks can be replaced once they stop glowing.
Overall these alien costumes were time consuming costumes to make, but my kids loved them and they got rave reviews.
