Awesome Rainbow Brite Homemade Halloween Costume

The best part about this Rainbow Brite Homemade Halloween Costume is that it is warm for trick-or-treating and since procrastination is only done best at the last minute, I finished it in less than one week. Fortunately, fleece was on sale when I decided to make this costume and since it is freezing cold most of the time around Halloween, I figured it was an omen to use it.

I used an awesome plastic Rainbow Brite piggy bank as my pattern. The shoes are an old pair of platform flip flops (what a terrible idea, but they were only one dollar and I KNEW that I would use them ONE day – what a coincidence!)

The arm pieces are attached with eyelets and string so they can be removed. It just makes it a little less bulky and annoying. Especially if you’re in a crowded bar and it gets too warm.

I burnt myself with hot glue about five hundred times but in the end – I think it was definitely worth it.

  1. My name is Samantha and I live in Mississippi. I was just wondering how you made the shoes and the arms of the outfit…..well actually I would like to know how to do it all in detail. Rainbow Brite is my childhood favortite. I have looked everywhere online and there are no outfits that compare to yours. It is awesome. I love that the arms and the shoes are like kinda 3d like in the movie. I am not sure how this comment thing works. like I don’t know if you get it or it is just posted to the website. If you don’t want to type all of that I would not be against giving you my number and talking on the phone.

  2. I can’t sew and I too have looked everywhere. Do you know of anyone I can pay to make one for me? Yours is the best that I have seen. I want it exactly, but in my size so maybe more strips of color as needed to make the legs and arms longer :)

    Thank you!
