I love making costumes... I do.. I really, really do! I think it's a blast. I enjoy it so much. However, there are a few times that life just doesn't have it in the cards for me to do so, and you know what... that is okay.
My kids have always love their costumes made or purchased.
This years home made made costume is
Eggs from the Boxtrolls.

| Yes, I realize the pants are not box troll wardrobe.. what'chya gonna do? He loves them. |
But.. if you are like me and like to make costumes, I thought I would show off a few of my own home made creations, and I encourage you to do the same, post your pictures in the comments below. Maybe we can all inspire each other!

I am Speed!
Made from 2 foam core sheets, some large art quality paper, red and yellow paint, a bit of hot glue but really it's mostly held together by push pins. I used a child "leash" for the harness part. It was awesome |

Buzz Lightyear complete with glow in the dark paint and light up lights that blink :) Total cost on this was like $12 the blow up ones I could buy was close to like 25 and didn't light up or glow :)
1 foam core sheet, some paint, a package of post lights from Hobby Lobby. BTW, we still have this and I will probably never throw it away. I love it so much! |

Smurfette - I didn't have to use foam core on this one :) It's amazing what you can do with normal clothes and a bit of sewing.
Made from blue clothes from WalMart, some white felt for the skirt and hat, and a white tank top. Easy Peasy
Like I said before we also have a bunch of ones that we bought, so I'm not hard core (I am pro foam core though :)) one way or another.
Halloween in my eyes is suppose to be fun but also not cost an arm and a leg. I never spend more than $20 on a single costume. However that gets done, is just fine with me :)
