I am seriously considering dressing my grumpy gus in this green get-up this year. If only I can keep his inner hulkster from ripping off the head piece …
The whole costume is no-sew using thrifted clothing and green & red felt. Sounds like something I could do. Find all the details on Parenting.com
Psst, there are plenty of more Handmade Halloween Costume Ideas lurking in the archives in case you need some inspiration.

Check out this lucky pair of Aces!!
Stephanie of And Twins make 5! created these super cute (and comfy) no-sew costumes using a pillowcase, iron-on letters, some black felt and transfer paper. The result? A winning pair & two incredibly cute spades and clubs. Head on over to her site to read all the details.
Great idea for Halloween, but might also be fun for the good old dress-up box, No? Or an Alice in Wonderland Party? Hmm, my wheels are turning …
Thanks Steph!!

If you’ve been around KSW for awhile, then you know each year I highlight the best in homemade halloween costumes I find on the web. Costumes like this adorable Corn on the Cob outfit from Parenting.com made from a green sweatshirt, a few recycled egg cartons, some yellow paint, felt and pipe cleaners. Pure Genius! If your new here, no worries stay tuned for plenty more DIY halloween costumes and be sure to take a peek through the costume round-up archives to see what other cuteness awaits.

I’ve gotten alot of requests recently to share my personal creations here on the website, and there’s something I must confess — while I have no issue publishing all the creative things I find during my countless hours scouring the Blog World, I’m a bit camera shy when it comes to publishing my own endeavors. Nevertheless, I’ve been working up the courage for quite some time now and I guess if I have to make a personal debut … what better time then now!
These were my toddlers handmade costumes last year and they were quite a hit with my kids and the neighborhood. I made them, literally, at the last minute {at work even, shhh}. In fact, I got about halfway through with them and was called away to an important meeting {I spent the entire meeting imagining my fate as the Worst Mother Ever and my kids not having any costumes for trick-or-treating}. Fortunately for me, I happened to work with the best darned group of people in the entire Air Force {world even} and when I got back to my office – well after quitting time, I found these sitting on our conference table – THE MOST ADORABLE CARDBOARD HORSES I had ever layed eyes on. I still get teary eyed just thinking about my team of Airmen cutting templates, gluing eyes and ears, and curling ribbons together ~ all in the name of Halloween.
Now that’s a great Halloween story, don’t you think? I can make this template available if anyone should request it.

I DO! I DO!
Ellen from The Long Thread has long been a hero of KSW since sharing her Scrappy Owl Treat bag last year. I’ll go as far as to say, she has outdone herself this year with this simple, DIY owl costume. I want to make one for everyone in my family {except the baby – he’ll still be the superhero owl posted below}
