Creating this Homemade Peanut Butter and Jam Halloween Couple Costume was a bit of a challenge. First finding the foam (which was a camping mattress) and then cutting it to shape using knives. To wear the bread we had to slice into the foam and tunnel in straps so it wouldn’t be seen form the … Read more

The basic idea behind this costume included LOTS and LOTS of glue gun sticks and LOTS and LOTS of popcorn, but making the actual costume was pretty simple. The costume is fundamentally made with two loops of wire connected … Read more

My wife and I love dressing up for Halloween, but we didn’t want to spend a lot of money on costumes. We also did not have a clue what to be. While eating breakfast four days before Halloween, I noticed that our hot sauce bottles (always on our table for every meal!) had a male … Read more
For the bag of the Homemade Jelly Belly Halloween Costume, I used a large, clear trash bag. I cut holes in the bottoms of the bags for our legs.

The week before a Halloween Costume Party myself and my family were still at a loss for a creative idea. I am not a fan of store bought bagged-costumes. As I was sitting in a bar one night with some friends, I grabbed a napkin and a pen and started drawing a six pack. Then … Read more
