Halloween Costume

Last year my son was a "Hot Red Chili Pepper" for Halloween. I found the costume at a 2nd hand children's store for $4. Great money saving tip! $4 vs. $15 for a costume they'll use once or twice!

This year he'll be a dinosaur! I made the costume from some pajamas and some felt I already had on hand. I also already had a green ear muff hat so I just sewed some triangles and stuffed them onto the pajamas and hat and tail (that I also stiched) and voila! Easy, cheap and so cute! I used light stitches so I can take them out when he's done and he can still use the hat and pajamas all winter! The greens don't match perfectly, but they are good enough for 1 night costume anyway!

Simple Halloween Costume...

If you are still stewing over Halloween Costumes this year, I have a great, easy and inexpensive little girl costume.

My little girl wants to be Fancy Nancy for Halloween. I decided to make her a tutu as part of the costume. You could use this idea to make a beautiful Ballerina costume.

I found the instructions here. And this is how it turned out.It was so cheap,(well free, my Mother-in-Law had the fabric)but you could do it for about $5. It took me about 1 hour to make it.
