Halloween - a recap from years before a blog
2006 - Beaver, store bought, fit much like a sleep sack
2007 - Skeleton, store bought jogging suit, very practical for the age
2008 - Pile of Leaves
Handmade by: me
Materials: jogging suit, silk leaves, needle/thread, knit cap
Process: I literally sewed every lead onto the jogging suit by hand. This took a lot longer than I thought it would. A friend tried to copy this costume the following year but instead of sewing on the leaves she decided hot glue would be quicker. It was quicker, but didn't look nearly as good. The best thing about this costume was the fact that the leaves were sewn onto a regular jogging suit so it was very comfortable and practical for a slow moving toddler.
Cost: $50 (silk leaves are expensive!!)
2009 - Jellyfish
Handmade by: Me
Materials: old hat, bubble wrap, ribbon, tulle, jogging suit, beads
Process: I took one of Jenny's old sun hats and wrapped bubble wrap around in multiple times. Next I covered it in pink fabric and tulle. Added some shiny beads onto the body to make it sparkle. Finally, attached ribbon in different size and textures. She wore a black jogging suit to contrast the pink jellyfish. Once again this was super comfortable and warm. Even that hat was pretty light because the bulk of it had been made with bubble wrap.
Cost: $20
2010 - Glinda
Handmade by: Me
Process: The entire account for the making of Glinda can be found at an earlier post.
Cost: $45 (I had most of the fabric already)
2010 - Munchkin
