Halloween Costumes
 

Anybody with homemade costume ideas let me know.

!Recycle your old material rather then buying an expensive costume :)

A couple of years ago I painted a the front and back view of a pumpkin (the front had a face on of course so that's how before anyone asks the inevitable :oP). I made this for my eldest when she was in first class. It went from under her chin to just below the knees. She obviously had to take it off to sit down or anything but it was a REALLY good looking pumpkin and it won prizes. I used the cardboard from the packaging for a cot we had just bought. To make it hang on her I used an old pillowcase (green, lonely and threadbare) and cut slits for the head and arms. I used glue (lots) to stick the boards to the pillowcase and then we had a perfectly servicable sandwich board - she hated it. But the teachers loved it and thought it worthy of the prize.

Had thoughts of doing the same recently for my youngest and painting a big tooth and giving her a crown to send her in as a tooth fairy - but she was having none of that. I thought it was a good idea and if I'm ever invited to a fancy dress then that's what I'll do :oD

Costume
 

This was homemade a few years ago from stuff lying around the house, cds,door stop(nose) tin foil,turkey baking tray etc ,my son hated it and danced it into the ground at the end of the night!, i just wish he had of been going to a party instead of walking the streets lol

p.s The little ghost is his sister, she was happy with her costume!

hahah, that is very good, I like it.... Im thinking about making a lego man costume

Well done and it was well made and your kids looked great.

I saw a guy wearing a lab coat with cereal boxes stuck to it. Each box had plastic knives stuck in it...........yeah he was a serial killer

It said on the radio today, that mariah carey is dressing up as a choclate chip cookie with real cookies sown on---hmmm, at least if you're bored you can eat your costume LOL.

Happy Halloween
 

I want to wish one and all a very spooky Halloween.
Happy trick or treating everyone.
Have a safe night.

This is our 8yr old son as the invisible man going to a halloween ball last sunday, where he won "King of the ball" and this costume didnt cost a penny and took an hour to make

from Admin - re: Invisible Man
 

A very clever and realistic costume, ireneo. Your son deserved his "King of the Ball" title.

Well done to all concerned!

Thank you Chris
If you seen him doing the Hokey Cokey in it, It was the funniest thing I ever saw because he was a head and shoulders over all the other children there and all I could see was a cap and glasses going in and out. You would had to have been there. Im sorry I didnt bring my camcorder
