Foster to Forever crafted up these pirate costumes for her family before going on a Disney cruise where there was going to be a Pirates of the Caribbean night! I love that you can use the costumes for a Disney cruise or for Halloween. The essential pieces for the female pirate are a red and white striped shirt, black pants, red sash, black boots and course a pirate hat and patch! For the boy pirate you need a a white shirt, black pants, black boots, a red sash, bandana, an eye patch and an earring!

Here’s a unique costume I bet you haven’t seen yet! It’s Pinterest board and Pin This! The handmade Pinterest couple costume attended a Halloween party at A well crafted party! It’s a fairly simple costume, you need a black dress and lots of square/ rectangular pictures pinned to your dress! The other half simply needs a sign that says, “Pin This”. Easy enough and super unique!

Love it or hate it, I know you’ve heard of Dog the Bounty Hunter! Creative blog spot shared a fun handmade version of the infamous Bounty Hunter and his wife, Beth. All you need to make your very own Dog costume is a black shirt, jeans, a long blonde wig, one big earring, and of course, a badge hanging on a chain around your neck. To be Beth, you just need long blond hair (or wig!), tight shirt and jeans, a lei around your neck, and stuff a pillow in your  shirt! Voila!

This is one cute (and yummy!) couple costume! Christine and her significant other hand made peas and carrots costumes. How awesome is that! The leafy green part of the carrot is made out of felt, bendy straws and the top of a plastic drink bottle. Genius, if you ask me! The body of both costumes are made out of felt. The USDA organic labels were made out of printable fabric sheets and hot glued on the felt costumes. Adorable!

I shared the DIY adult mermaid costume deets yesterday, and today I’m showing you how Chelsea created a handmade pirate costume for the hubby! Here is what Chelsea had to say about how she put together the pirate costume, “My husband’s costume was a combo of thrift finds, torn, tattered and stained. We added some eyeliner and a scar, a tattoo sleeve found at the dollar store, some fake jewelry, and, believe it or not, that scarf on his head and wooden sword at his waist are both his.

I love that they are at a Halloween event called Trunk or Treat! Which means you dress up and then incorporate the trunk of your bar into part of your costume. Chelsea turned the trunk into a shell to go with her mermaid attire. She made the shell from 6 pieces of foam board, acrylic paint, glitter, and fishing line. She cut a stool-sized hole in the bottom half so I could sit in my shell. The “water” is an iridescent door curtain!

Awesome job, Chelsea! See more pictures at Chelsea’s blog.

Kim from seven thirty three whipped up some really awesome handmade Mr. and Mrs. Potato head costumes for her and her husband. She made both costumes out of 3 yards of brown felt, elastic, hot glue and felt sheets for the facial features. Kim has a step by step tutorial for turning you and yours into a favorite child hood toy on her blog.

Leigh Ann from Your Homebased Mom did it again (she also whipped up Mary Poppins and Bert costumes)! This time her and her husband created  these really awesome Cruella Deville and Horace costumes! The  Cruella Deville must haves include a black dress, tons of pearls, red gloves, black and white wig and a dalmatian coat. Leigh Ann is well, awesome and whipped the coat the morning of the big day! Horace is a little easier. He just needs a grey beanie, coat, and the net with a stuffed dalmatian is key!
