I like the Incredibles! Will have to keep in mind for the future!</p> <p>I was thinking about doing/making the Flinstones for our family - Barney, Betty, and Bam Bam. Looks like the weather might be chilly this year for Halloween so I'll need to figure out how to dress DS warmly without covering up his costume. He'll be 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868551 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:15:43 +0000 MamaCate 1868551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO decided to be a stop light so I am going to make her costume starting this weekend!

He's going to be a gnome - just need to make the hat and beard to go with a blue onesie and black pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868381 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:02:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 1868381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered this set from Etsy in the teal color, and will make a shirt to go along with it, so it will look homemade but in reality someone else did the work this year ;) I was way too stressed last year with her peacock costume I wasn't about to do it to myself again! </p> [attach=1477/14/nc3zg5.570x424.halloween.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868222 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:15:13 +0000 LulaBee 1868222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my daughter wants to be a "polka dot butterfly". So I need to find some plain white butterfly wings and sew circles onto it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868158 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:51:57 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1868158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boheme: I made something like that for Liam two years ago!

Kids usually visit the station and so they have a bunch of junior hats on hand.</p> <p>We DIY'd LO's costume last year as an '80s dancer - pink onesie, white tights, one of DH's colorful striped socks to act as leg warmers, pink retro sneakers and i made a strapped cardboard boombox that acted as a candy box. She refused to wear a headband so i made her wear it on her waist.</p> <p>Still deciding what to do this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868071 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:20:17 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1868071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, making our masks and thrifting the clothing. Beaker and Dr. Bunsen from the Muppets. Starting this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868055 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:15:01 +0000 chopsuey 1868055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about it for a second, but decided against it.<br /> We're planning on moving right before Halloween so store bought it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868029 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:07:39 +0000 Mrs. Train 1868029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we are making ours. My mom and I started making them back in July :) We are kind of a crazy family though.<br /> @T-Mom: I think that one is really cute. I know my daughter would be more likely to keep something like that on than an actual itchy wig. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868025 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:06:25 +0000 SAHM0811 1868025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DDs want us to be The Incredibles...

He's going to be a dinosaur, and I figure he can get more wear out of the tracksuit or just the hoodie outside of Halloween. </p> [attach=3221/14/nc3u05.338x600.image.jpg] [attach=3221/14/nc3u06.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868018 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:03:01 +0000 regberadaisy 1868018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: lol you need a nude colored onesie.

I think i want her to be a hula girl. Found this on etsy but obviously this is not enough for a baby. Thinking of sewing the top and skirt onto a long sleeve onesie </p> [attach=4140/14/nc3tto.373x600.Screen-Shot-2014-09-18-at-11.59.35-AM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1868011 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 10:59:17 +0000 Chillybear 1868011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'll be making something.... just not sure what yet.

Liam is going to be a fire fighter and he already has a yellow raincoat with fire fighter embellishments, so we bought yellow pants and he already has yellow rain boots. We still need to get him a hat and I'm planning on turning his red wagon into a fire truck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1867928 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 10:37:50 +0000 T-Mom 1867928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm making a Murray Wiggle (red Wiggle) costume for my DS but it only involves buying a red shirt and an iron on patch.</p> <p>I'm thinking of making the Rapunzel braid that Mrs. Train told me about, but we'll see if I can make it happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diying-a-halloween-costume#post-1867730 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 09:47:19 +0000 cmomma17 1867730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I want to make my LO a black cat too!

I think it'd be cute!</p> <p>Are you DIY'ing a costume? </p>
