I have been making my own costumes for about six years now and this Muppet costume is by far my favorite one. Sweetums isn’t the most popular of the Muppets but he was always one of my favorites. The costume was fairly easy to makes, because all I really had to do was construct the … Read more
Admittedly, we just bought the Elmo suit for my oldest son. My Super Grover 2.0 costume was a labor of love, as was the Oscar the Grouch costume: For Grover, I used adult sized footie-pajamas from Target. I made a red cape from fabric I had lying around. The helmet was a child’s toy knight … Read more
A few years back I purchased a store bought Halloween costume, and like most others was INSANELY disappointed by the poor quality, see through material, and overall mashed appearance from poor packaging and shipping….as such the following year I DID NOT make the same mistake and so began adventures of homemade costume making (let me … Read more
After being invited to a Halloween party last year, my husband and I decided that we wanted unique – and homemade – costumes. Eventually, we decided on the Muppets, Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. First, we bought two white lab coats, and used fabric dye to lightly tint mine (Beaker’s) green. Add khaki pants, a … Read more
My very good friend had gone as Big Bird the Halloween before and wanted to do it again and add more too it. Another friend and I wanted to join in so we decided to go as Snuffaluffagus and Cookie Monster. We aren’t that creative so Big Bird (aka Jennie) made all our costumes! We … Read more
It was so hard for me to come up with a great couples costume for myself and my awesome boyfriend. I wanted something original and funny, but also something I would be comfortable portraying as a plus size woman. Famous people tend to be on the more petite side and I didn’t want to feel … Read more
This Loonette from Big Comfy Couch Halloween costume wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to make. I purchased the jumpsuit, long sleeve shirt, hat, wig, pack sack at Salvation Army store. For the jumpsuit I dyed it pink and put Velcro in the back (for washroom purposes), lol. I added purple ribbon around … Read more
My name is Asia, the joy of my life is Janice Caye. She is 5. She asked to be Hello kitty for treat day ( that is what she calls Halloween). After looking at the many stores being Hello Kitty was going to be more than .50.$ . so I decided to try and make the costume for … Read more
I was so happy when Ezra (turned 3 on November 1st) gravitated to the idea of being Super Grover instead of Elmo! However I still waited until a week before Halloween to get going. The top and pants were sewn using a set of his carter’s pajamas as a pattern, I have basic sewing skills … Read more
I got most of my materials for Oscar the Grouch costume at Wallmart! The green fur is made out of green bath rugs. I had an old wire hanging flower pot that I used for the top of my head and then sewed the green bath rugs onto there. The bottom half of my head/chin was … Read more
Daddy as Muno, Mommy as Plex, and Ansley as Foofa. It was a great Yo Gabba Gabba family Halloween costume. All the kids wanted to take pictures with us. Plex took the most amount of time to make. Used a hamper for the body, and bucket for the head, soda cans for the ears, Styrofoam … Read more
Muppets are big this year. PBS under fire. Brought out the Yip Yips to make a stand for the Muppets, as well as bring back a little bit of our childhood. Was so great to see people light up and smile when they saw us or when we were chanting ‘yip,yip,yip..ring,ring,ring’. People loved taking their … Read more
