We decided to dress up as Wall-E and Eve for this Halloween. Here is how we made our Homemade Wall-E and Eve Couple Costume: For Eve’s costume, I bought a white 22 gallon trash can with a push/swing lid. I cut a hole for the face and hot-glued the other side of the lid to … Read more
My son wanted to be Wall-E from the Disney Pixar film of the same name, more than anything. Not being particularly creative, I tried to convince him that Buzz Lightyear would be cool (a gasp! – store bought costume!). No go – he wanted Wall-E. My husband made his Wall-E costume from a box and … Read more
I had a homemade Jessie Halloween costume idea, but all the ones in the stores were too covered up and boring! So I decided to get a crop top and some old jean shorts that I had. I bought the accessories which included the hat, belt, 2 sleeve cuffs and the bow for the hair. … Read more
I got the idea to be Buzz Lightyear for Halloween from all the hype from the new Toy Story 3 movie, and thought it’d be a fun costume. When I told my friend about my idea he said, “well if you’re Buzz I’ll be your Woody! I already look like him anyway!” (since he’s a … Read more
This Homemade Wall-E Costume was completely made with recycled material. I did it with my 4 years old kid, Nicholas. We used recycled cardboard boxes, egg cups, food packaging, bottles, screws, bolts, an old diver’s mask. A hidden mechanism allows the child to open up the space where Wall-E collects the garbage. Initially we made … Read more
We were so inspired by the Disney Pixar’s movie Up, that we decided to recreate the cast. We have seen the movie so many times and thought the ultimate tribute would be to dress up as the characters for Halloween. With Mr. Frederickson, Russell and Kevin the Snipe, all of the characters are represented in … Read more
First for the sheep, I bought a white sweatshirt and a cheap($3) pair of white capris (they were women’s but they were stretchy and worked great). I cut the sweatshirt to about elbow length. I used a hot glue gun and glued all the cotton balls only on the front of both the shirt and … Read more
This was my favorite costume I have made to date. I hate using other people’s ideas but once I saw this I knew I had to try it out for myself. Everything is spray painted using Rustoleum spray paint. The color was Satin leafy green. I wanted to use a gloss spray to look more … Read more
In my college days I was involved with the Sparty Mascot Programs at Michigan State University. Having such a hobby allowed me to become quite proficient at not only fabricating costumes but also performing in them! To set the stage, MSU was playing Idaho in football at Spartan stadium, in August 2006. Part of mascoting … Read more
Our family did a Toy Story theme for Halloween 2007. Our sons were Woody and Buzz (store-bought costumes, I’m sorry to say) but my husband and I were Mr. Potato Head (me) Zurg (him). This Mr. Potato Head costume was relatively easy to construct. I bought 2 yards of tan felt for the body. I … Read more
I basically made this Mr. Potato Head Costume out of fleece (the brown body) and then all of the attachments are foam paper with the sticky back… even the shoes that I covered. I did some shading on the foam paper to make the objects appear 3D. I sewed an elastic band in the bottom … Read more
For Halloween 2008, our sons chose “Monsters, Inc.” for their costumes. Our older son (age 5) had a Sully from Monsters, Inc. Costume. We live in Phoenix so we were a little nervous about making a furry costume (could be VERY uncomfortable for him if the night was warm) so I chose a light-weight fleece … Read more
