Non-clicky poll: Halloween Costumes

What/ who will your kid(s) and/ or you be? Bonus points if it will be a DIY project.

Looking for some inspiration for DD's costume as we'll be out of town in October and I need to get this going before then.

Re: Non-clicky poll: Halloween Costumes

  • I'm assuming my boys (2 and 4) will want to be superheroes of some kind because that is what they are into right now.  We have a lot of random capes and helmets in the house already, so it should be an easy year to come up with costumes.  I will probably make a matching wonder woman or bat girl costume for out 6 month old daughter.

    Last year I made Buzz and Woody costumes for the boys.  The year before that my oldest was a robot made out of a cardboard box and some silver paint.

  • We have an eeyore and a spiderman or power ranger until he decides again ;o)

    last year I had a Dino, year before that a turtle and first year a different Dino.

    my mom always made us costumes. Of course, we have a ton of girl costumes and not many boy ones so I can't dive into that stash. But ones she made are daisy duck, Minnie, raggedy Anne, witch, and more. You can also go through closets and make things from that.

  • Well, my LO is still inside me, so I've been considering wearing an orange t-shirt and attaching a black felt jack o lantern face to my tummy (not sure yet if I want to stitch it or iron on or what).

    I'm a huge halloweenie, so MH and I have already planned LO's first costume (next halloween). Regardless of whether we have a son or daughter, we want to dress our LO as Mike Ditka. Basically it entails finding a Bears sweater and/or jacket, getting some babiators, and drawing a mustache with some nontoxic makeup. MH and I plan to dress as football referees to match.

  • Addy is going to be either Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz or a lady bug. I have both costumes. I think one is a 2T and one is a 3T, so whichever one fits. Then the baby will be whatever from there. Either a bumble bee if Addy is a ladybug or maybe the lion or something if Addy is Dorothy. Addy's is not DIY, but the baby's may be.

  • Emily is going to be Princess Leia.

    DD#1 is 3! And LO#2 is on his/her way! Due Feb 26th, 2014.

     

    BFP#1: EDD 5/7/2010 born on 5/20/2010. A little girl named Emily.  

    BFP#2: m/c 10/29/2012 EDD was 6/21/2012 Baby Hope was 6 weeks 3 days.

  • I still have no idea! I just found out that my cousin is planning on making a float for a local Halloween parade and invited us to be on it. She doesn't have a theme, yet, though, and I was hoping that would inspire me!
  • He will be the 11th (the current) Doctor Who. I commissioned my aunt to make most of the costume (suit jacket, bow tie, fez, suspenders) and I'm making a stuffed sonic screwdriver.

    LOL! Very cute.

    I'm loving all the costume ideas so far. Last year DD was a ballerina. Onesie, tights and a tutu, all of which she already had. Just bought a pair of bloch ballet slippers to go with it and it was a very easy costume.

  • If I can be a good mommy and finish it - DS will be The Very Hungry Caterpillar - kinda like in this picture:

    It's being sold for $90.00 but I'm too cheap so I'm attempting to make my own.

  • Okay, the very hungry caterpillar is the cutest thing i have ever seen.

    Last year the kids were Tinkerbell and Peter Pan.  The costumes were DIY (pics in blog). 

    This year DD is going to be a doctor (cute tiny thrift store scrubs + toy doctor kit) and DS is going to be a cowboy (Wranglers, pearl snap shirt, bandana, and cowboy boots and hat, all thrifted).

    I love DIY Halloween costumes.  And I can't sew AT ALL, so mine are just thrown together out of regular clothes.

  • Not really a DIY, but I'm ordering "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" knit hats from a WAHM for my 2 YO son and the baby (expected towards the end of Oct) to wear!  I'm also going to get them red outifts to wear with them!

  • Eva has asked to be a mummy this year (apparently her penguin from last year wasn't scary enough!).  I'll be making it.  I hope to be able to make her costumes as long as she'll let me!
