This Lobster costume was very simple to make and got lots of laughs. My husband bought an apron and chef’s hat for added laughs. We dressed up our 4-month old baby boy as a lobster. The base of the costume is a pair of red pajamas. Most importantly, my husband will carry our baby around in a big pot it … Read more
Wow! Everyone just loved this idea of a Bun in the Oven and Chef costume. My wife was very pregnant so it was a great idea. We took a box and cut it out then covered it with white fabric. We used spray paint lids for the knobs then printed out a picture to put … Read more
My 9-year son has been obsessed with ice cream for the past few years now. So of course when I asked him what he wants to be for Halloween he said “ICE CREAM MAN”. He loves ice cream (not that he gets to eat a lot of it) but since making an Ice Cream Truck would be way … Read more
A couple years ago I really wanted to be a Rabbit in a Magic Hat. I already had the rabbit ears and tail. I used lipstick and eye pencil to draw the nose and whiskers on my face. The hat was the tricky part. I don’t sew at all, so first I went to the store to … Read more
We started with mommy’s lab coat from nursing school. The hardest part was taking off the school logo. We finally put the name tag over it. We then tied two small pillows around the waist (one in front and one in back). It was funny because the jacket then gaped between the buttons. The chef hat was … Read more
We made my three year old son a homemade British Guard costume for Halloween. I used red material and sewed it into a long, fitted jacket. We trimmed it out with white piping for trim, lots of gold buttons down the front and on the cuffs/collar, and used black and white felt to make the … Read more
As a single dad of twins I wanted to create something special for me and my girls. I started the project of the Family Costume: Cops, Robbers and a couple bags of baby money by using off white colored pillow cases, I cut them down to size. Then I stenciled dollar signs with a card board … Read more
My wife and I are pictured here last Halloween. I’m the one on the left, wearing the oven and thrusting forth my five-month pregnant belly to make the turkey stick out just a little bit more. My wife is on the right, turkey baster in hand with her chef hat reaching toward the sky. She’s … Read more
Halloween was coming and I was 6 months pregnant. I really wanted to do something with my husband, some kind of weird couple but he wasn’t into making fun of himself so it all came down to me, improvising an hour before going to a Halloween party. I went into my friend’s bathroom with a … Read more
So the previous year, I was a zom-bee (bee costume with zombie makeup) and I had to 1UP myself without the Mario, Luigi and Princess. My fiance and I had just started dating at the time and it was the first time I really had a significant other that wanted to do a couple costume! … Read more
The TV show Toddlers and Tiara’s was my inspiration for this Halloween Pageant princess costume. To achieve this look I took an old floor length bridesmaid dress, took it to a local tailor shop and had them pin up the under the corset and sew it to stay. I glued over 300 gemstones on with … Read more
I was looking for an easy to wear but elaborate costume and thought it would be fun to make it active. So I thought of a puppet. It was a lot of fun to make sculpting the head out of flower foam. This is the foam they use in the bottom of flower arrangements. It … Read more
