I created this Poisin Ivy costume very easily in just a couple days. All materials included, a multi-shade green eye-shadow Silk Ivy from a dollar store, red hair dye (my hair was already red, but you can opt for a wig) and a hideous dark green velvet dress (nearly any thrift store should have this, not … Read more
First of all making the Poison Ivy costume wasn’t hard BUT finding a durable bodice was very tricky. This is a costume that you definitely have to start looking for all the supplies a month in advance and start creating maybe two weeks before Halloween. I was silly and starting buying everything a week before … Read more
After doing some brainstorming for my costume I decided that I wanted to go with a classic Halloween monster and be Frankenstein. Unbeknownst to me my boyfriend had wanted to do a costume as a couple. When I told him what I wanted to be, he simply said “I guess that means I am going … Read more
A friend and I have a shared love for all things Batman, which is why we created this Bat Girl and The Riddler Couple Costume. BATGIRL: Used to be a gymnast so I have a bunch of old leotards and nowhere to wear them. The past few years I’ve been hauling them out for Halloween … Read more

My son wanted to dress up as the Joker for Halloween last year. After looking at a couple of store bought costumes, I realized it would look better to make it homemade.
