Minion Costume



Eat.Sleep.Make. has an easy way to make a super cute minion costume for Halloween. My son would probably run around yelling, "Be-do, be-do, be-do," all night long!

Light-up Trick or Treat Pail

It's not too late to create your own light-up pail like Cute as a Fox did! I'm a huge procrastinator, so there's still plenty of time to add this to my Halloween to-do list!

 

See the Light-up Trick or Treat Pail.

Amry Figurine Costume

Watch Out for the Westmans made this awesome army man costume. If my boy didn't already have his costume picked, I think this might just be the one he would have chosen. I'm sure he'll add it to his list though (which is already about 10 costumes long).

 

See the Army Figurine Costume.

Foam Cowboy Hat

Are you making a cowboy (or cowgirl) costume for Halloween this month? How about making your own cowboy hat to go with it? Get Your Crap Together has a great tutorial for making your own out of foam.

 

See the Foam Cowboy Hat.

DIY Batmobile Stroller

Do you take your kiddos out in the stroller for trick-or-treating? How about adding some fun to your stroller like Just a Girl and Her Blog did? I love how she turned it into the Batmobile!! My son would be thrilled if I did something like this!

Secrets to Making Homemade Costumes Without Going Crazy

I love making Halloween costumes! I just purchased some fabric for my son's costume this year, so these costume tips from Rae Gun Ramblings were very timely!

 

Go check out these Secrets to Making the Best Homemade Costumes Without Going Crazy.

Hedgehog Costume

I love little ones in animal costumes so when I received this Hedgehog Costume submission, I had to share it with you. Alida at I Make Stuff shares the complete how-to on her blog.

See Hedgehog Costume Tutorial.

Princess Belle T-shirt Dress

Chances are that if you have a little girl, they love princesses. I've looked at the price on princess costumes/dress ups and they are expensive and fall apart easily. I'm thinking a Belle dress made from t-shirts is not only inexpensive and adorable, but durable! Check out this princess dress that Little Sprinkles of Fun made using a few tutorials she found. (She links to the tutorials in her post.) Great for a Disney vacation or for parading around the house.

Here are 3 fun links from today's party!

Once again, I wish I knew how to crochet and read a crochet pattern!!!! It might as well be Mandarin to me. This crochet heart garland is very endearing!!! Get the pattern at Sarahndipities.

These love notes in a pancake are a fun idea for a Valentine breakfast (or for an anyday "I love you.") See how to make them at Random Thoughts of a Supermom!

Every little girl wants a dress-up center. See how My Creative Escapes made one for her daughter!

Dinosaur Hoodie

Turn an ordinary store-bought hoodie into a cute dinosaur with Just Sew Sassy! These are fun for boys or girls and for an ordinary day or even Halloween!

See the dinosaur hoodie tutorial.

Mustang Costume

You have got to check out this Mustang Halloween costume. It is nothing short of amazing! I want one for me!!!! OR I should make this into a Lightning McQueen Car because my son is currently in love with him.

See the Mustang car(board box) costume at And Then There Was Home.

Skeleton with a Fetus

This shirt makes me wish I was pregnant for Halloween! Don't you want a skeleton with a fetus shirt? I think it is both freaking adorable and hilarious!!!! Get Your Craft On got it as an iron-on. I'm thinking I see some freezer paper stencils of this idea in blog land's future.
