Handmade really awesome costumes for babies, kids, adults, groups, and pets!.
This really easy handmade adult halloween costume made me laugh out loud! All you need to be a man (or woman) walking through a hurricane is a broken umbrella and some newspaper. Seriously, how easy is that? The coffee cup and tie taped to the shoulder are pretty good touches too. Oh and of course you need to make the wind blown face the entire night! I found the original image here.
Be prepared to be amazed!
Although, I’ve never seen the movie, Alien, I’ve got a pretty feel for what it’s about ; ) Claudia’s husband turned their 7 year old boy into the main monster from the movie, The Zenomorph! Claudia said, “We bought a surfing outfit as the base and glued various things onto the suit. The head was molded from plastic and set on a helmet. There were also gloves and shoe covers made from felt with pieces glued to the felt.” her husband worked on this masterpiece for 40+ hours! This is one really awesome handmade alien Halloween costume!
What do you think? Could you re-create this really awesome costume? See more details at Claudia’s blog, Casa de Berry!

I think a group costume of mad scientist would be super fun too!
Happy Earth Day! Even though I think everyday is Earth Day, this is the prefect day for Rich’s handmade Captain Recycle costume. This one is pretty easy, just do a little dive into your recycle bin for some plastic bags, banan peels, and cardboard. Oh and you’ll need a green sweat suit to make the captain recycle costume!
This is one easy DIY adult Halloween costume to put together last minute. And we totally could have spruced Grandpa up a little bit. Essential costume items include crazy pants from a thrift store, belt, white t-shirt, funky hat, long socks, slippers, and pillows (for the belly)! If we did it again, we’d add glasses and a handkerchief to the jacket pocket. Oh and a cane would be awesome.
How fun would it be to have a big group of grandma’s and grandpas! See more DIY old man costume deets at C.R.A.F.T.
