I put together this costume last minute. I had seen a cartoon of Goldilocks as a mugshot, thought how funny, and what an easy costume to put together. I had the black beanie and gloves, wore black clothing and boots. I bought a chalk board at Walmart for $1.97, black mask for $1.00, and foam … Read more
Living in a house with seven girls and one guy we knew we had to be creative this Halloween. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the perfect idea for my roommates and I, and we loved the idea of turning our roommate Jonah into a male Snow White. Check out our costume in action … Read more
For Halloween this year, my daughter wanted to be Little Red Riding Hood. For her, we purchased the cape, but everything else came out of our closets. The skirt was hers, the shirt was mine, with a few alterations. We bought some vinyl and put the grommets in to make the “corset”. As her costume … Read more
This costume rocked! Someone said this costume was, “Original, scary and pretty at the same time!” My daughter wanted a unique look. (Or, maybe she wanted to make my life difficult for a bit, ha!) She loves Elsa, but didn’t want to just be another Elsa so she created the character of ‘Ice Queen’, Elsa’s … Read more

This Little Dark Riding Hood costume idea began with a Gothic robe I bought in store. I had many other ideas for this costume like a Gothic witch, and vampire. When I saw the Little Red Riding Hood costume, I wanted to be it, but I didn’t have a red cape. Then I thought “what … Read more
For years now I’ve been wanting a Snow Queen costume for Halloween (because I’m a winter-born baby and in sunny South Florida we don’t get any snow!). I knew I would have to make the costume for it to be even halfway good, but I never had enough time to do it and eventually went … Read more
Our couples costume was just sinful this Halloween. Adam and Eve broke out of the garden of Eden and graced the 2014 earth with their presence. We made these costumes with one thing in mind, we better look so good that people will want to take a bite, but that would be forbidden. We gathered … Read more
We wanted a fun costume to celebrate a girls weekend in Miami. We were really looking forward to our first warm Halloween without winter coats! All of our past Halloweens were spent in Chitown :) There were three if us and we wanted our costume to be cute, comfortable, fun, and reasonable cost. We searched … Read more
My daughter and her friend bought zebra pajamas at the store. Then they found out that our church was having a costume contest, but only one person could win, so they decided to make a Noah’s Ark with themselves inside. We took cardboard boxes and shaped them like an ark. We used a little box … Read more
