KIDS: Handmade wagon costume

May 13, 2013 By

Halloween costume parades are fun, and what better way to  ensure  your kiddo stays in the wagon than to cage ’em in the sucker, ha! Just kidding about that, but isn’t this handmade wagon costume genius! I wish I knew who actually made this, but I loved the costume so much I’ve saved these 2  pictures on my computer for years (pre pinterest era!). Basically it’s just a painted card board box with a hole cut out for the kid’s head. Oh and the picture on the camera screen is a must!

ADULTS: Grandpa Costume

April 17, 2013 By

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.
