You can probably get some ideas from etsy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easyinexpensive-diy-baby-costumes#post-1084113 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 21:27:31 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1084113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No diy suggestions, but the children's consignment stores where I live have costumes for $4, and I got LLs for $8 on craigslist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easyinexpensive-diy-baby-costumes#post-1082675 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:25:08 +0000 Bookish 1082675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo a tutu is a good idea!! The local resale shop always has cheap tutus!! Ok, ballerina it is. I can get her a headband and she already has little socks that look like ballet slippers!</p> <p>Y'all are geniuses :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easyinexpensive-diy-baby-costumes#post-1082641 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:15:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 1082641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can easily through together a cute ballerina costume or a ghost out of a white onesie and pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easyinexpensive-diy-baby-costumes#post-1082586 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:04:23 +0000 swurlygurl 1082586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tutus are easy and pretty cheap! Might be a little bit of a time commitment, but it's fairly mindless work. If you don't know how there are thousands of tutorials online - you can even find a lot that involve zero sewing.<br /> Once you have a tutu, you can make just about any costume. I was thinking about doing tinkerbell for DD - green tutu with a white onesie + wings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easyinexpensive-diy-baby-costumes#post-1082504 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:41:47 +0000 Bookish 1082504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have a lovely student in town who does all of my photography, and yesterday I won a free mini photo shoot for Halloween! Yay! Problem is, she needs to do the pics THIS weekend in order to use them as promos for her business. </p> <p>I have no problem going and buying a costume, if I have to, but baby costumes are so ridiculously overpriced that I'd rather just make one, especially as she is just 2 and a half mos old and won't be wearing it again next year.</p> <p>Any ideas on something I can throw together in a couple days without being too expensive or time consuming? I have a sewing machine and VERY basic skills, but I can sew a straight line if needed ;) </p> <p>Also, LO is about 25in long and 12lbs, if that makes a difference. Any and all ideas are welcome! </p>
