What costumes did you make at home? Did you like your costume and was it better than a store bought costume? Do you still make costumes for your kids?

I remember being a ghost a couple years in a row as a kid. But i think it was just because we were broke. That one was easy a white sheet with two eyeholes. I also remember being a scarecrow one year because i just wore some old overalls and stuff a bunch of hay everywhere with some sticks. I think my mom liked to do that kind of thing when i was a little one so of course she always had cool ideas so we did them. I can't wait till my 11month old wants a halloween outfit that mommy will make. That'll be fun.

I remember hard times too and that is how we ended up doing the ghosts too! It was fun doing the monsters and we had a blast!I think you get better costumes that way and you dont look like everyone elses....more original!

Oh yes, eaforeman, we made our own costumes many time when we were young. Of course, we were ghosts, once, using sheets with eyeholes. Those, though simple, are still among my favorites.

I was once a scarecrow, a cowboy, a football player, a native American, and other things. In fact, I cannot recall ever NOT making my own costume. Wow, I'd never thought about it before.

My brother and his best friend were an inchworm. Our mom's made the costume and it required two people

demented psycho...


what about you?


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4202)  4 years ago

It looks like we were all a ghost at some point and time lol I remember doing alot of makeup for all of us. There were four of us kids and we did vampires and quite a few monsters lolI think it was more fun creating and making our own look. iT WAS A BIG PART OF THE FUN! sOMETIMES THE COSTUMES WERE TOO LONG OR TOO SHORT,,,BUT IT WAS FUN. I also remember sharing alot of candy, do you?


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

A lot of our costumes were mostly in our heads. That is, we knew who we were, but it took a bit of explaining for others to know.

Yes, we always shared our candy. And looked out for each other while out Trick or Treating.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4202)  4 years ago

Back in those days, we got so much candy that we still had candy at Christmas time! I remember the huge amounts and we got cool things like pop corn balls. It was so cool.My dad made some of the best pop corn balls too. I remeber we used dark koolaid for our witchs brew and told the mean kids we would turn them into frogs...lol

We didn't actually sew the costumes but we did make up the gypsy and pirate and ghost costumes. Gypsies were fun cause we got permission to go through moms costume jewelry. Always fun for young girls.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4202)  4 years ago

We did the gypsies too. They were great because of the colors and the jewelry. It seemed like it was more fun.We didnt have to spend 40 bucks either. We all 4 helped each other when we were kids. I just wish we had more of the pictures now!
