KIDS: Homemade bum costume

September 11, 2013 By

I know that not everyone will appreciate this costume, but I for one think it’s pretty clever! Nicole posted this picture on the Really Awesome Costumes facebook page, and said her 1 1/2 year old son really enjoyed pushing his candy in the cart versus carrying it! Another great thing, this is a no sew costume and if you live where it’s cold for Halloween, just add some layers to complete the look! They key elements to this costume are a beanie, a beard, flannel, and that grocery  cart filled plastic bags and gloves.

So, do you think the homemade bum costume is appropriate or not? There was lots more discussion about it on this handmade kid costume round up post, if you’re interested!

KIDS: DIY Rockstar costume

September 10, 2013 By

Carolina from 30 Minute Crafts whipped up this totally rad DIY rockstar costume for her kiddo! And best of all, it only took 30 minutes and did I mention it is a new so costume! She cut the sleeves off of an old t-shirt, added gold shimmer iron on stars, rocked out a pair of inexpensive  sunglasses, and spiked her boys hair. I love it!

ADULT: DIY Scrabble costume

September 9, 2013 By

Here’s a clever Halloween costume… a DIY Scrabble costume! It looks like Sara sewed her own dress and used card board letters to spell out the Scrabble words, but I think this could be done no sew too! If you could find a cheap white dress, you could use paint pens, duck tape or iron on fabric to create boxes. Then just write in your “double word scores” and spell out your words! I like that Sara’s scrabble costume even makes a political statement!

ADULT: Handmade Rubiks cube costume

September 6, 2013 By

I love the rubik’s cube! I wish I could say I can do the whole cube, but that would be lying. I can, however, do one side really good and really fast, ha! Emily turned her husband into a life size rubik’s cube with a cardboard box, spray paint, felt, and a hot glue gun. I for one, am super duper impressed! Oh and I love that this costume could easily be made for a kid too. Another fun idea, would be to make the squares velcro so that you could actually move them around!
