So, my boyfriend and I had been racking our brains for what to be this Halloween when two aging superheroes came to mind–Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. We of course wanted to make our costumes and I jumped right into it–running to Target after work, Michaels on the weekend, Goodwill on my breaks, etc. Generally … Read more
I worked at Nickelodeon, Singapore so I thought going as a character from the channel might be fun. I decided to go as Sandy Cheeks from SpongeBob SquarePants! It is quite a challenge to make her costume, but it was totally worth it. I had a blast and won the best costume. Everybody went on … Read more
I learned about Avatar the Last Airbender (The series, NOT the movie) from my husband when we was first married, we actually watched a lot of it on our honeymoon. I fell in love with the story, the characters, and the world of the Avatar. When we found out we were pregnant and that … Read more
For this costume we dressed our little girl in all white and added red and blue electrical tape to the sleeves for the stripes. Found the boots at a yard sale and spray painted them gray. Bought a white trashcan from a restaurant supply store, painted the zipper on with gray paint and printed out … Read more
Whilst browsing the pre-made, packages of Halloween costumes this year with my boyfriend, Shaun, I noticed a lot of the womens’ options were very risque. This was our first costume party together and I enjoy dresssing up and turning heads, but I want them to notice my costume- not my lack of coverage. We gave … Read more
This Costume was really easy but fun and different which is something I always strive for around halloween. I went to Walmart and found really cheap pink leggins and really cheap lime green shorts. I already had a coral sweater that went perfect. I cut out the flower shapes for his shorts from purlple wrapping … Read more
Our costumes were a last minute change of mind, I decided what I had planned wasn’t good enough to be the best, so I went on a manhunt for what I needed as the mall was closing. Dora was simple, I hit up the women’s department at Academy, and bought a wig in the Halloween … Read more
My two year old grandson Rocco loved watching Yo Gaba Gaba so when halloween approached there really was no question what should we make him, it had to be his favorite character…..Muno. At the time Muno was not as popular as he is now but it didn’t matter if no one knew who he was, … Read more

My four-year-old son wanted to be Sponge Bob, and he told me he wanted to be him, not just wear a costume with Sponge Bob printed on it. I could not find any ready-made costumes that met his approval, so I decided to create my own. I kept thinking, how could my son actually feel … Read more
Chaz and I decided to go as Ed and Bev Bighead, the notoriously grumpy sardine couple from the 90’s cartoon “Rocko’s Modern Life”. We were inspired by Chaz’s actual bighead. The masks are made from chicken wire, masking tape, newspaper, paint and felt. It was a blast making these bigheads and they were a huge … Read more
My boys (2 and 4 at the time) are the ultimate Spongebob fans, especially my oldest – Austin. He desperately wanted to be Spongebob for Halloween, so like any working mom, I took to the internet. A million searches later I couldn’t find any pre-made Spongebob costumes for sale (ugh!) so I decided to try … Read more
