KIDS: Duct Tape Wings Costume

February 9, 2015 By

I love seeing amazing and elaborate things that people make out of duct tape! These duct tape wings by Doodlecraft are no exception. These wings are made mostly out of plain white duct tape and would be perfect for a Cupid costume for Valentine’s day. You could also use these wings as a part of an Angel costume, or another winged creature. To create these wings you will need white duct tape, foam board, wooden sticks, a hot glue gun, scissors, and elastic. You could also pair them with a set of handmade bow and arrows.

KIDS: DIY Grandma costume

February 4, 2015 By

Do your kiddos celebrate the 100th day of school? I love this idea that Domesticated Combat Boots came up with for her little girl. She whipped up a DIY grandma costume for the 100th day of school. Get it? She is dressed like a 100 year old! The accessories make this costume super awesome, well and the adorable little girl! But, the grey hair with curlers, the reading glasses (with no lenses), the pearls, and the walking cane make for one super awesome 100 year old grandma costume!

How’s that to celebrate the 100th day of school?!

BABIES: Conversation Heart Onesie

January 30, 2015 By

This simple DIY costume idea by Madigan Made is just the cutest! It would make a great costume for your baby for Halloween, but it would also be perfect for dressing up your cute little one around Valentine’s Day. You can use a onesie you already have and attach a felt heart (maybe even use the heart to cover up a little stain). The hardest part would be choosing what phrase to put on your conversation heart.

KIDS: DIY Jet pack costume

October 28, 2014 By

Arelene, who also made this awesome DIY airplane costume, whipped up this really awesome DIY jet pack costume for her son! To make the jet pack she used two empty, clean cake boxes and rolled them into cylinders.  She spray painted them silver and used hot glue and duct tape to hold the cylinders together.  She attached a foam disk to the top of each jet pack. Arlene then attached garters to the jet pack to make the jet pack fit like a backpack over her sons shoulders. She attached different shades of red, orange, and yellow fabric to the bottom of the jet pack to look like flames. The flame pants were made by attaching fabric to a pair of athletic shorts with hot glue! The fake legs are just a pair of jeans stuffed with a hose and batting. She  attached Converse shoes at the bottom of the pant legs to finish up the costume! Nice work, Arelene!
