Honestly, it just came to me in an epiphany. I just thought to myself, “Hey, how cool would it be to just glue candy all over a t-shirt and an old hat and go as ‘The Candy Man?’” So, I went to my local Wal-mart, bought a really cheap long sleeved shirt, and two HUGE … Read more
From the time my granddaughter (who lives in another state) was six years old she has wanted to be the Wendy’s Restaurant girl for Halloween. My daughter and I searched online and catalogs for a Wendy’s costume (including finding this site) but never found one that we liked. That just would never do for the Nana!!! I … Read more
You gotta love the outfits they have to wear to work at Hot Dog on a Stick. These homemade costumes took inspiration from the fast food chain and their uniforms. I purchased a t-shirt and cut the bottom off. I then purchased yellow, blue and red fabric. I cut the fabric into strips and sewed … Read more
There was a sorority date function called “Trick or Treat” and the theme was fiesta, and instead of going in mariachi clothes or something, we decided to go as chips and salsa. Basically, all we did was get some foam from a craft store (Joann’s Fabric to be exact) and cut it to the shape … Read more

It took me 3 long weeks to construct this massive 6 ft+ Twinkie man costume! All components were purchased at home depot and Michael’s. Best thing about this was the laughs I got from my co workers as I strolled through my office passing out Twinkies to everyone!! I won first place in our contest!
What can we say? We love ourselves some Taco Bell. So what better way to tribute than to dazzle us up as some sauce packets. Super easy, just wrapped fabric around, safety pinned, and glued the letter that we cut from felt. Hardest part? Choosing what to write as your slogan!
When I was pregnant, I wanted something cute and original. I worked at a company that takes Halloween very seriously, so I knew it had to be good! I bought a plain white shirt, white cotton batting from Walmart, and pink dye and threw them all in the washer. The darker color pink worked the … Read more
I made a sandwich board out of two poster boards (each). Then projected the NERDS box logo onto the posters and traced. Added lots of paint and sparkles and last laminated! Then added all of the fabulous add on’s, like one piece spandex body suits, colored wigs, nerd glasses, and a bag of little Nerd … Read more
A group of my roomates and friends wanted to do a group Halloween costume before we all graduate. We attended Central Michigan University! Go Chips! Anyways.. we all brainstormed and finally came up with the idea to make home made costumes (well… because we were all college students with a limited budget) and decided that … Read more
Since this is my son’s first carnival I thought to make a costume for all of us. I created Mario’s pizza, a familiar pizza enterprise. What is a better solution than a pizzeria since we are Italian? To create this costume it took about two hours and we used materials we had in the house. … Read more
