After racking my brain for months, I finally came down to a decision on my Halloween costume. I decided on the classic supermarket store bought toy soldier. The green army man. The 50 pack of dudes in green and later in tan, from the 50’s that swerve sold next to the cowboy and Indians. First … Read more
My kids get a ride every year for Halloween and here are 2 of them. It all started when my oldest was only 1 and was Scooby Doo. At the time I had a quad stroller for my home-daycare so the Mystery Machine I built out of card board and hot glue was the perfect … Read more
I’m Not Drunk, I’m just BUZZ This was a last minute costume and was pretty easy to make. I took an old white tee and cut out and sewed on pieces of fabric for the top, and just used a pair of shorts for the bottom and made a makeshift belt out of the leftover … Read more
My six year old son Blade asked to dress up as Green Army man from Toy Story. I started with regular clothing. I painted two times with semi gloss latex paint with a brush (this is what gives his the “plastic effect”!!! The thicker the better!) Then I painted three coats of Kelly Green spray paint. … Read more

The concept was pretty simple, but to execute parts so stay equal to the Buzz was more laborious, almost dramatic. When we finished this first … Read more

For Woody, I found a yellow shirt at Goodwill for $3.00 and drew red lines on it to make it look flannel. I cut up an old white t-shirt I had laying around and colored in “cow spots.” I actually had a lot of fun doing this because I could make it look just how … Read more
I have never had a store-bought costume in my life. My mom always made my costumes when I was younger and since then, I’ve crafted my own, sometimes still with some maternal help. My junior year of college, some of my friends wanted to do a group costume. One had bought a cheap kid-sized Buzz … Read more
Buzz: Making Buzz’s jet pack was the difficult part of the costume. I used cardboard poster board and cut out the shape. From there I drew/painted the exact design from the movie onto it. Waiting for the paint to dry took the longest. The paint was Martha Stewart All purpose paint (even waterproof). I cut holes into … Read more
