Halloween!!

Hi everyone!! L here....

My kiddo's Loove Halloween!!

I think there favorite part is carving pumpkins and chowing down on all that delicious candy!!

 About 3 weeks ago, my kids were playing rock, paper, scissor with their Dad and I was watching them thinking, ohhh myyy I have 3 girls and what an awesome halloween costume idea!! So this is the result....

I never took pictures of the process, but I did make all of the costumes!!  they all had black pants and black long sleeve shirts.. 
I bought the grey and white fabric from walmart for like $5. and the scissors were made out of a box from Dads work and some spray paint bought at walmart for $5 also.

The ROCK(grey) fabric was almost like a light linen kind of fabric, but it was see through, so I had to buy 4 yards of it so I could double up on front and back.  Luckily it was on sale for .50 cents a yard! so BONUS!!!    I just cut out 4 circles. put 2 together and sewed around leaving a little bit of a space to flip inside out. I did this with the other 2 circles as well.  Then I put the 2 sewn pieces together and sewed around leaving spaces for her head, arms and waist to fit through.  FLipped it inside out again and then put a string through the bottom of the fabric so I could tie it tight aroung her waist after stuffing her with blankets and towels. 

The PAPER(white) fabric was flannel fabric.  I just bought a yard of it and cut it into 4 rectangle pieces.  I took 2 of the 4 pieces and I sewed blue lines going across the whole thing all the way down and then I sewed 1 red line going down the side.  you know to make it look like a piece of paper.  then I took one blue and red striped piece with a plain piece and sewed them right sides together leaving a space to flip inside out. repeat with the other 2 pieces.  I then sewed both rectangles wrongsides together. to give it that very square look....leaving a space of course for her head, arms and waist.....

The SCISSORS I took a box and cut out a scissor shape and then painted them with silver and pink spray paint...She had a blake and red tutu from last year.  so we reused that.

So there you have it!! for $10, I had 3 costumes in 1 day and I am already thinking about next year!!
