I make my children costumes every year but this year I am at college full time so it had to be something quick and easy. For the Chucky costume, I had an old pair of dungarees from a bob the builder costume so I painted the sploges on them and also wrote good guys. I … Read more
My sons'(age 2 & 4 at the time) favorite movie is “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, so as early as summer they told me they wanted to be Oompa Loompas for Halloween. I wanted to make these little Oompa Loompas costumes myself, but I am not much of a sewer so I knew I … Read more
