When you love everything about Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, you just have to find a way to squeeze a costume or two at some point in your life for Halloween, especially a standout costume as the giant blueberry costume!

So when I got this battery operated blue Airblown suit for dirt cheap at a yard sale, it hit me right away….. I love making my own costumes, and I had to use it for a Violet Beauregarde costume from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, where she turned into a giant blueberry.

Supplies for Blueberry Costume:

  • Amazon box for the candy bar.
  • Print a Willy Wonka pic and a gold ticket from the Internet.
  • Pink ribbons for handles.
  • Buttons from Craft store.
  • Black felt for sleeves and collar.
  • Silver felt for the belt buckle.
  • Wig.
  • Face paint.
  • Red ribbon for the hair and belt.
  • And last my trusty glue gun!!!

Total cost was about $25, woo-hoo!
