Halloween this year was definitely on a tight budget. The costumes turned out really great, even better considering I spent less than $20 on costumes for the entire family! I began picking things up in September as I would come across them. All were purchased at Goodwill's throughout Omaha. The only things I purchased outside of that was black electric tape, and green hair coloring spray!
Liam's costume was toddler t-ball pants with elastic suspenders. I shoved sponges into the sides of the pants to make them stick out. He was such a cute Oomp Loompa Liam!
Rod & I were 'stick figures', he forgot his white pants, so we had to improvise for the photo booth pictures and be naughty stick figures, ha ha! I bought both shirts and pants from Goodwill for a dollar a piece and used black duct tape for the lines! I The pencils were made using paper plates, toilet paper rolls, newspaper, tin foil and markers!
Cierra's costume was just a really pretty robe that I purchased from Goodwill for $3.59, we used a black trash bag for the belt. Cierra's wig was purchased back in September brand new from a Goodwill for a couple of bucks!
My stick figure costume was deconstructed (removed the tape) and made into a work-friendly costume, Flo, the Progressive girl! The letters were iron-ons purchased from Hobby Lobby when they were half price (keep a look out for ads which change weekly). I used markers to make the 'I Love Insurance' pin and name tag! This costume won me 'Most Look-a-like" which meant gift certificates for meeeee! weeee!
