Homemade Halloween Costume - How To Make A Dinosaur Costume My three year old grandson, Jack, wants to be a dinosaur for Halloween...not just any dinosaur, Jack wants to be a Spinosaurus. I looked online for ideas, but all I could find were cutesy dinosaurs... sew some triangles down the back of a hoodie and add a tail to the bottom. Jack doesn't want to be "cute"... Jack wants to be scary. I LOVE creating Halloween costumes and was excited to take on the challenge. A couple of people online suggested using foam to create a dinosaur head...so I bought a 46 x 70 piece of 1 1/4" foam … (128 comments)

Homemade Thomas The Train Costume I've made a lot of Halloween costumes over the years, but it's been awhile. Time to start creating for a new generation. In my recent post on homemade Halloween costumes, I promised an update when my grandson Zack's costume was done. Thomas The Train was completed just in time for Zack's train-themed birthday party.
If you want to make your own Thomas The Train costume...I found my inspiration online from a blog called Mother Maker which has great step-by-step instructions. I made a few small changes, but for the most part followed their directions. I used mostly items I had, so it … (21 comments)
making your own costume: Halloween Coffins To DIE For - More Homemade Costumes
- 10/21/11 04:44 AM
It's not Halloween without a corpse or two! If that corpse is in a coffin, even better! Years ago I created some coffins for a Halloween costume. They were not that hard to make and lots of fun to wear! They got ruined spending a winter in a storage unit, otherwise I would still have them. I'm sure I will make more some day.
My daughter Jaime, my aunt, and I were the three "Stages of Death" Jaime was the recently deceased, my aunt the decaying corpse, and I was the skeletal remains.
My husband and I wore the coffins as decaying corpse and skeleton … (18 comments)

This was pretty easy...clothes, makeup, and hair had to be identical. The hardest part was making the guitars using foam board and black electrical tape. If you have a male to be Robert Palmer, even … (26 comments)

Over the years I have made my share of Halloween costumes and many of them have been pretty creative. There are plenty of great costumes available at the stores, but if you really want to make some memories, try making your own or making costumes for your kids. It can be so much fun!
Animal costumes are always popular and you can get a simple pattern that will enable you to make many different animals. Depending on the shape of the ears, type of tail and choice of fabric, one pattern can go a long way.
Years ago I created these costumes for my children to be The Three Bears, using … (22 comments)
