GIANT COTTON CANDY COSTUMESNovember 1, 2019
Oh my gosh, this might be my favorite costume duo yet! Lucy and one of her best friends Savannah said they wanted to be _cotton candy_ for Halloween. One pink; one blue.YESSSSSSS.
Who can say no to that?? My spray-paint, candy-loving heart was happy. In fact, I ran into another mom at the hardware store also buying paint for costumes (Lighting McQueen and Sally were in the works) and we chatted for about 10 minutes about kids and making stuff, and the logistics of large spacial (obnoxious?) costumes, and how it was all going to come together in one short week. I love how Halloween costumes bring the world together! Maybe that’s all the world needs—cute costumes?! Everyone dressed like donuts and ice cream cones, high-fiving each other? Okay that’s overly optimistic and simplistic. But seriously, watching these girls walk around the neighborhood last night as giant balls of cotton candy definitely brought joy to everyone around. Want to be a real life, cotton candy ball of joy too??Fun!
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO… DECIDE WHAT KIND OF COTTON CANDY YOU WANT TO BE. Wouldn’t it be cute to have a whole GROUP OF COTTON CANDY? In all sorts of pastel shades?? Please somebody do it, and send me a picture. The inspiration for the costume was our cousin Addison, who was cotton candy last year for Halloween, with fluffy bits of cotton candy (stuffing) everywhere. My SIL Nicole did such an adorable job! I just want to pick off some pieces and eat it! So this is one way you can do it. Spray paint a bunch of poly fill stuffing , and then spray-glue it to a shirt or sweatshirt, and add some batting inside too.LOVE IT:
Or you could be a smooth rolled Cotton Candy ball: Or you could do a “low volume” version for school, which is what Lucy wore during the day. Of course she got a few comments like, _you’re a snow cone? Ice cream cone? Unicorn?_ So we should have added a bit of the pink batting to her shirt. Live and learn.SUPPLIES:
Your style of cotton candy will determine what kind of batting you need. Just find what works for you at the fabric or craft store. Then grab some spray adhesive and spraypaint!
The beauty of this costume, is that it can look “messy”. My friend Katherine and I were sort of winging it with our girls. Here’s what we did: • We started with some of the dense batting underneath, which we spray-glued together in a roll around their body, arms out. • Then we used a full package/roll of quilt batting in a bag. We kept it folded in 3rds or 4ths (however it came) and then wrapped that around them, with their arms inside. We started down below their bum, wrapped it around, made our way up and around the neck, and tucked the end into the front. We did a practice wrap first, then did it again and used spray glue as we went, to hold it together. Clothes pins helped hold it in place, as the glue dried. • Then we cut small armholes, and pulled their arms out. We just used our hands to feel and gauge where the armholes should be. • And finally (the fun part!) We spray painted them! Spray from a distance and apply a few coats. The costumes looked super funny drying out in the yard….like sugaredcocoons.
And the girls looked even funnier wearing them in the car last night.SOME TIPS/INFO:
• This is sort of 1 or 2 time costume-wearing idea. It gets a little beat up and saggy after that. • Some of the spray paint started to dust off after a while, notmuch, but some.
• It would be helpful to put more stuffing or a even a small pillow inside of the costume, to plump it out, and displace the space where their arms had been. • Spray paint some extra batting that you can place and tuck around the neckline, if needed. • Use safety pins to pin and tuck any areas together around the neckline or other parts.FINISHING TOUCHES:
Now add a few more things and your costume is ready! • SHIRTS – I could not believe that these shirts from Target came as a two-pack in cotton candy colors. _PERFECT!_ The day we made the costumes it was 90 degrees and the girls were dying of heat. But then ironically on Halloween night it was 35 degrees. So they wore sweatshirts underneath their costumes AND these t-shirts. And in the end, the batting made everything cozy and warm. • WHITE SHOES – Grab a simple pair of white tennies at Target or Walmart. We really wanted to make pink and blue DIY saddle shoes …but ran out of time.• WHITE LEGGINGS.
• CONE STICK HATS – info below. We were originally going to use poster board to make really tall hats like our cousin Addy’s pic above. But we worried that it would be hard to keep on…so we went for a bun-cone instead. We rolled a piece of cardstock into a cone shape and taped it together. Then we spray-painted some extra batting and hot-glued the batting around the bottom. Then we pulled their hair up in a bun, and placed the cone over it. It helps to snip around the bottom of the cone every 2 inches to create some flat areas. Then attach it with bobby pins to their hair, and pull the batting down over the pins. After walking in the costumes for two nights of fun, they started to pull apart a bit at the seams (as you can see in the photo below). So just glue, pin, and tuck as needed. And enjoy your Halloween! The girls were totally a hit all night as we walked around. _Ahhhh. Look! It’s cotton candy! _Such a happy sight.__

RUBIK’S CUBE COSTUMEOctober 30, 2019
Owen is obsessed with Rubik’s Cube rightnow.
As in, he’s _totally_ into it.He can solve it.
He times himself solving it. Tries to do it with his eyes closed. Has friends bring their cubes to school so he can solve theirs. Basically, it’s the constant clankety sound in the car as we drive to school each morning (while Lucy and I try to have a conversation inthe front).
But I think it’s awesome. I don’t have that part of the brain that enjoys puzzle-solving or one that has patience in general. He definitely got that from Casey. So when it came time to brainstorm Halloween costumes, it seemed appropriate to think, _inside the box_. Heh, heh, heh. _Owen, you should be a Rubik’s Cube!_Totally.
Done.
Easy!
RUBIK’S CUBE COSTUME This costume is a great last-minute, bang-your-buck kind of idea.YOU NEED:
• Large box 22 x 22″ (found at the UPS store or other shippingstore)
• Acrylic craft paint (2 bottles of each color) • Roll of black electrical tape You could do this a few different ways. You could paint the box…or you could cover it with paper/cardstock (I worried that if it rained, it might get ruined). And some of this depends on what TYPE of Rubik’s Cube you’re going for. _Is your cube SOLVED, or MESSED UP?_ Owen wanted to be a _solved cube_, which made the project easier. If you were going to do a completely messed up cube, I would probably paint the whole box black, and then glue colorful squares of cardstockon top.
Here’s what we did….. • PAINT THE BOX IN 6 DIFFERENT COLORS. It’s easier to do this flat on the ground, with a paint cloth underneath. The beauty of the project is that _your lines do not have to be perfect!_ The edges will be covered up later with electrical tape. So just hand paint and do your best to make a general square for each color, following the creased lines of the box. Paint all the tops of the box one color, and all the bottom pieces another color. The white, yellow, and orange paints may require a few coats, while the dark colors might be fine with one coat. • USE A BLOW DRYER BETWEEN COATS OF PAINT. This was a huge time saver!….(especially since I was making this 2 hours before our church Halloween party. And we had all been sick all week, so it was a chaotic sprint the finish line…which in reality, is often how it goes, even if we’re not sick. So who am I fooling with our sickness stories?? Not you puzzle-solving geniuses!) • KEEP YOUR BRUSHES WET BETWEEN PAINT COATS. I used cheap foam brushes—one for each color. AND, when you’re done painting a color, wrap the brush in a wet wipe and keep it near you (rather than rinsing out). This way the brush stays wet if you need to use it again to apply a second coat or touch up. Also a time saver. Then toss the brushes when you’re done. Not worth the cleanup!
• CUT A HOLE AT THE TOP FOR THE HEAD. I measured Owen’s head and initially cut a 10×10″ square from the top pieces. But arrrrg. I should have cut a rectangle, since the box fell down around his shoulders when we tried it on the first time. Duh. So I taped some the extra pieces (that I had cut off) back inside to make it more narrow at the shoulders. Make it work moments. • CUT A LARGER HOLE AT THE BOTTOM FOR THE LEGS. • GLUE OR TAPE THE TOP AND BOTTOM IN PLACE. I really wanted glue to work here so you wouldn’t see any tape lines. But again, we were running late, and hot glue just wasn’t working. So I used packing tape here. It’s not ideal, but no onewill notice.
• USE BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE TO MAKE A GRID ON THE BOX. Electrical tape is a bit stretchy, so stretch it slightly as you go. This will help it stick in place, and keep it from sagging anywhere. Go around the edges first, and fold it over the edges and corners. Then add the stripes. FIRST use a ruler to mark lines 7 inches _in_ on each side. This made it real easy to make the tape lines nice andstraight.
• YOU COULD ALSO PRINT A RUBIK’S CUBE LOGO and glue it to the front of the white boxes. People will know what you are either way. • WE ALSO TAPED SOME PADDING (quilt batting) into the shoulder areas of the box to make it softer to wear. And then there’s an added surprise….since every cube needs access points, for gathering extreme amounts of candy… I used a knife to cut doors on the front cubes, and taped small handles to the inside. You can open them IN or OUT. Or you could make this into an Autobot Transformer costume? Totally looks like the face here, from thisangle.
Or more importantly, maybe you’ve created windows into your Rubik’s Cube soul. Now hit the streets, buddy.Happy Halloween!

SALT AND PEPPER COSTUMESOctober 23, 2019
Did I eat too many melted mallows? Stuck my face in the sugar jar? Swallowed the _Wite Out?_ The jury’s still out on white lipstick…(which was actually harder to find than I thought. I guess what hadn’t crossed my mind, is that no matter how white your teeth are, white lipstick will make them look yellower. Must not be a big seller). Oh well! It sure was fun to wear! Even if it was just to see Clara’s reaction when I walked out with zombie lips. (Btw, I found it at Walmart in the Halloween makeup section). So get ready for an overload of kissy face, and I’ve-got-a-giant-white-pacifier-in-my-mouth looking pics. We’re making Salt and Pepper costumes! This is such an easy last-minute duo costume. Lucy and her friend Savannah were going to do this…so I shopped around for supplies. But then they decided on something else. So Caseyand I dressed up!
Of course, _who should be Salt_ and _who should be Pepper_? I wasn’t sure I picked them right, until mid-photoshoot when Caseydid this:
Yep. He’s a sneezer.Always has been.
Pepper was perfect.
And around our house, I _LOVE_ to add Salt to everything we eat, even ice cream. Try it! It’s good! So if you’ve got a Salt and Pepper personality at your house, here’s what you do….SHIRTS:
• GET SIMPLE BLACK, WHITE, OR HEATHERED GRAY T-SHIRTS from the store or online. I didn’t use a gray shirt, because the color blended too much with our hats. Black gave a better contrast. • Use my FREEZER PAPER STENCIL VIDEOto paint an _S_
and _P_ on your shirt (if you’re a Wall Street lover, maybe you should be the S&P 500??) • DOWNLOAD MY FREE PRINTABLE LETTERS HERE.
I put together a few different fonts for you, in two sizes each (if you’re making this for kids use the smaller version). All you have to do is print it on freezer paper! (or trace it to your paper. More info in my video above.)SHAKER
HATS:
Have you ever looked closely at the holes on your salt and pepper shakers?? I never had, until today! And guess what…there are a bajillion different ways those holes can be arranged. So decide what look you’re going for (look up images online if you need help) and that will guide your hat decisions. • GET TWO SIMPLE HATS–Berets or Beanies work best. I found tons of great options at Walmart. If you want to be a pointy shaker, use a beanie. If you want a flat top shaker, use a beret or pageboy hat. • IF YOUR HAT COMES WITH A PAPER BOARD INSIDE, LEAVE IT IN! This will help keep a stiff, flat shape. If your hat doesn’t have a liner like that…cut a circle from cardstock or carboard and place that inside. Or just wear it as-is! • USE STICKERS OR PAPER DOTS FOR THE HOLES. I wish I had used small stickers for this. But I didn’t have any on-hand, so I cut small circles from cardstock and attached them to the hat with little tape rolls. To save you all the trouble-shooting and sizing that I went through, I found that _white or gray_ cardstock looked better than black (better contrast with the hat). And I traced a _bobbin spool_ for the perfect size! > Now put on your shirts.> Put on your hats.
_> Add some extra black and white touches:_ Gloves or mittens. Throw in some white lipstick. _BLACK_ lipstick. Or a black mustache? That seemed more Casey’s vibe. And I intended for us to wear our hats forward like this. Casey thought it was a bit too Village-People-meets-Train-Engineer(totally).
But when I handed the camera over to him to snap some pics, he turned his hat backwards, to get the bill out of the way. And Ahhhhh. It allcame together!
_The hats were better BACKWARDS._ Guess you could say, we never looked _back_. Heh heh. So much betterthis way!
But any way you shake it, it’s an easy costume to please. Now cue the Salt ‘n Peppa music, cause it’s been stuck in my headall day.
Happy Halloween!
