Homemade Jelly Belly Halloween Costume

Homemade Jelly Belly Halloween Costume

For the bag of the Homemade Jelly Belly Halloween Costume, I used a large, clear trash bag. I cut holes in the bottoms of the bags for our legs. Inside are obviously just balloons of different colors. I tied the bag around the neck with colorful ribbon and printed out a label from the Jelly Belly website and taped it on.

I might suggest just having the bag stop at your waist instead of cutting holes in the bottom for both legs. It was mighty time-consuming for restroom visits.

It was very inexpensive. I won the costume contest at work with this one.

 You're a LIFESAVER!

My daughter is 10, and this year is the first year that she really wasn't sure what she wanted to be. We've never done homemade costumes because I'm not creative and crafty. She finally decided what she wanted. I bought her a costume that was on sale, it didn't work out. I am up at 1:30am trying to see if I can pull something off at the last minute. She has a school parade later, and she wasn't too thrilled about what we decided on before she went to bed. I came across this, and I am sure she will love it! Plus, it's quick, easy and cheap. I can put it together while she's at school and take it to her before the parade! THANKS!

 I GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!
by: i had the best halloween ever!

Last night was halloween and I got sooooo many compliments! We had a little trouble with making it though. We ended up taking the bottom of the bag and put duct tape all around on it so that I could wear it like a shirt and so the balloons wouldn't fall out from the bottom. We also used duct tape at the neck because the bag kept escaping from under the ribbon, so we put duct tape and put a ribbon over it. I had so much fun wearing this costume! I recommend this to everyone!!! I was the only one wearing this costume thats for sure!

One thing though, it was pretty cold last night yet I was still hot in this costume. So keep that in mind.

 Wow, thanks!

Thanks for your comments, everyone. It was tough to use the restroom in it, so that's why I thought securing it around your waste would be easier then putting your legs through holes in the bottom of the bag like we did. For car rides, I just stepped out of the costume and then stepped back in and tied it at the neck.

 easy on and off
by: Anonymous

I made a similar costume in 2008 and wore it to work. I used two trash bags and taped them together at the sides; one bag was the front of the costume and one was the back. I wore them like a tube (think bubble dress) with the balloons in each bag. I also enlarged and printed the nutritional values statement out and taped it on the back. It was an easy on and off costume! I agree that this costume is great for work because it is inexpensive, light weight, imaginative, inoffensive and fun!
