Halloween costume construction project


Colossal Red Dragon
Originally uploaded by borghal.

Today in Joann Fabrics I met this chick buying yellow fabric. Her kid was kicking around the candy aisle wearing yellow crocs and a yellow shirt. He had demanded a “Yellow Shark” costume. I felt her pain. Me, I have to construct a red dragon outfit.

My local Moms’ Club came through – I asked where to buy a red hooded sweatshirt, and got an immediate answer that they were $6.00 at Mervyn’s. It was true! So, 6 bucks, and 5 more for red sparkly pipe cleaners, red glitter glue, and some sheets of felt. I think that should do it for the costume. When I make it, I’ll take pictures.

Oh, and I’m supposed to dress myself as “a knight, a lady knight, like Xena Warrior Princess.” I’m not sure about that. I was picturing myself as a much butcher knight.

Then today someone on the list asked how to do a sequoia tree costume. I was imagining how much fun that could be with brown pipe cleaners and short green fringe. And some real sequoia pine cones – they’re all over my neighborhood.

Y’all didn’t know I was so crafty, did you?

So impressed! I would have convinced LG to be something else. You are going to be the "cool" mom.
She's crafty, she's just my type.

I'm making costumes this year, too. It's tough tracking down what you think will be simple to find. Did you know that gray long johns don't seem to exist this season?

Looking forward to a picture of you two in your costumes!
Hey! I'm glad you used my pic with this post! Thank you!
I searched your post and find it really helpful. a great website to share with others.
Halloween costume have new construction project that's why they are in this get up but it also good according to situation. They are making fun because they not know about it.
So what if Furniture on street. Maybe someone tries to sell it at the affordable price. We mostly see in our societies people do it. Sometimes I also do it for some reasons.
