I've been working tirelessly on 2 of my kids' halloween costumes. We've been sick so it's worked out well... can't leave the house much. Here's my progress so far.
For my 6 year old son, a construction legoman costume. The head took some figuring out. I've seen yellow buckets but I really wanted the round shape. So I went with a hat box and covered it with yellow wrapping paper. My husband still has to drill through the eyes I drew. I've got a box for him to wear over the top half of his body, but it still needs to be spray painted blue. He'll also wear a construction man's vest, yellow gloves, and hold a big hammer. He's going to wear regular old blue jeans on bottom because the thought of him wearing square cardboard legs conjures up visions of multiple injuries. ;)
My 4 year old daughter wanted to be a peacock this year. I was so excited to put this one together. I found the dress in the clearance section of Target... perfect color and perfectly frilly. I added feathers for the tail, and a couple the the bodice, and a row to peek out under the ruffles. I may add another layer of feathers on bottom, too.
She is so excited about this mask. It was fun to embellish! Final touch (not pictured) is a wand. I found a stem with a peacock feathered ball on the end.
Are you making costumes this year? What are you making and how's it coming?
Linking up!
Loving the Lego man head. Is he going to have the weird "C" hands, too?
ReplyDeleteno, just yellow gloves... i thought about it though! he's an easily provoked child, however. :P
ReplyDeletethat head looks great! And he can just run around with his hands in a C-shape...like my kid did for an entire soccer season in which he insisted he was a Lego minifig.
ReplyDeleteLove that peacock- So adorable and the mask is amazing! Your kiddos must be blessed:)
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are genius! I love both of those, and that lego man head is fantastic. Seriously crafty!
ReplyDeleteJust curious, where did you get the peacock feathers? I love this idea!
