Homemade Popeye and Olive Oyl Couple Costume
Matthew (age 9)and Danielle(age 8)decided to be Popeye and Olive Oyl this year for Halloween. After discovering the popular cartoon, the brother and sister chose these characters for Halloween. They usually do a costume duo and rarely go as separate characters. They are fun loving kids that like to make people laugh and thought they would get a good response from the neighborhood with this idea.
I made the Homemade Popeye and Olive Oyl Couple Costume from scratch. Popeye's arms are two pairs of tights stuffed in the middle with stuffing and sewn to the sleeve of his shirt. I used some red material to pin around his neck for his collar and his yellow karate belt for his waist.
Olive Oyl's skirt is made out of felt and the shirt has white felt sewn on the sleeves and neck. She is wearing a black wig that was wrapped in the back so it could stick out.
The costumes were a hit in the neighborhood!
