This is my one year old daughter in her Queen of Hearts costume. After getting some ideas online I knew this had to be her costume, it totally fits her personality. The whole costume cost just under $30 and I still had tons of stuff left over. I used an 8 inch crochet top that … Read more
I made this costume using 100 percent recycled parts. We are talking foam pillows. Sport shields knee pads shower hose, game console parts took 3 months to glue paint air brush and tape all made by hand.

After seeing the many Hurricane reporters over the summer I thought that for Halloween I would dress up as a weatherman in a storm. I was thinking this would be very original but after research I found out it had been done before. Luckily the group of people I was around on Halloween found it … Read more
This was an inexpensive costume idea. I really wanted to have my kids do a book theme and was having a hard time getting them to agreed on something. My son brought home a goosebumps book from school and I knew they would love this. It’s creepy but at the same time harmless. I bought … Read more

I made this costume several years ago and it was a big hit in the neighborhood… not so much with me though. I’m on painters stilts and wearing a latex mask. Hard to walk for very long, and even harder to breathe. BUT… the reactions from people were worth it! I made teenage boys run … Read more
