Last-minute Halloween costumes for kids!

October 27, 2007 at 7:30 am | Posted in crafting with kids, I love to make things..., projects to do, wardrobe refashion | 10 Comments

The CRAFT magazine “Last-Minute Halloween Costumes for Kids” segment was on the CBS Early Show this morning, and here’s the monkey costume I made! Complete instructions for how to make it are here. It’s a very easy project — just grab a hoodie and pants that fit your child and embellish them with a little felt and fleece, and add a couple of felt bananas to a treat bag!

You can also make a pirate costume (designed by Nancy Flynn), a bee (designed by Cathy Callahan), a Lego, and a sushi roll (both designed by Diana Eng).

Thank you so much to Natalie and Jenny for inviting me to be part of this project!

  7. What an adorable idea. We’d love to feature stuff like this come next year on The Storque! Dang, I wish Halloween happened more than once a year. However, I will continue to costume myself on the regular and pretend that it’s excusable all the time.
