All tagged Halloween Costumes
During Red Ribbon Week, Melody wanted to dress up as Pigeon as her favorite book character. I did some researching, and I opted to go the blue jacket route. It seemed the simplest. The hardest part for me was finding the right colored blue jacket locally. But thankfully I found one at Target that seemed to work. I had black and yellow felt on hand, and I bought some white felt.
For Halloween, Melody wanted to go as characters from Butterbean’s Cafe. She wanted to be Butterbean, Brad went as Jasper, and I went as Poppy. This was definitely one of the more DIY Halloweens, so I thought I would share most of what I did to make our costumes.
Halloween is quite different this year. One we are in a new house and new neighborhood. Two our best friends are also in a new house and new neighborhood. So trick or treating was different. We also had more and different spaces we could decorate. Three Melody really understood things more and was super excited. She picked her own costume and asked to go trick or treating every day of the entire month of October, ha!
Just like last year, we decided to do family costumes for Halloween. One day we put Melody's hair in pigtails, and that is when it hit Brad...let's dress her up as Boo from Monsters Inc. Brad and I planned to dress as Mike and Sulley. I bought our shirts from Hobby Lobby. We decide who would be who based on the fact they did not have my size in the blue shirt, ha! I bought purple heat transfer vinyl, and I had blue, white and black HTV at home. I used the Silhouette Cameo to make our shirts.
