Well I think Fall is in full swing. I don't know about you but I really enjoy Fall activities. Taking my kids to pick out pumpkins at the farm, corn mazes, Halloween costumes. This year since money is tight for everyone including us I would like to get some great ideas for homemade costumes. My son says he is dressing up like a girl, which is easy since he has sisters. My girls said they would just wear some princess stuff or something out of the "dress up box" that we have in the playroom.
My neighbor made two great costumes... Her daughter is the cat in the hat. She bought one of those big red and white striped hats then took white felt and made the front of his look on a black turtleneck. She added a tail and painted her face and there you go! For her son she made a Jack -in-the-box costume. She took a cardboard box and decorated it with paint, made a handle out of a coat hanger and attached it to the side of the box, then put a wooden bead at the crank end. Then she made straps so it would stay on his shoulders. She put him in a jester hat and again painted his face and put him in a colorful t-shirt. It is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time.
If you have great ideas for some homemade costumes please share them with us on the blog. I'm sure our readers would love to hear what you are doing.
Thanks
Talk to you soon,
