If it looks familiar to my readers from years past or if you’ve seen this same outfit on Pinterest, it’s still me.  I never got great pictures of this outfit when I made if for my daughter a few years ago when the Halloween weather was a nightmare! As luck would have it, I saved the outfit and now it fits my son.  I smiled and laughed watching him in our yard in this costume because, how can you not love it!

I made this outfit for UNDER 10 DOLLARS with only a Walmart top and pants and a few pieces of felt, ric-rac, ribbon, and hot glue.  It wasn’t hard at all!  I put the brown top and pants on my daughter and marked where the vest should fall and then I laid it out on the floor and started gluing!  I cut one side of the vest and trimmed it until it was just right and then used it as the template for the other side of the vest so they would match.The vest is only on the front side, FYI.  I started the ric-rac on the pants right where the vest hit and glued it all there on the floor all laid out together  so that the lines matched up and flowed.  The bow tie is just some Christmas ribbon I had and I just tied it and glued that baby on!  This is the cutest, right?  I’m glad I finally got some pictures to do it justice.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN errr…Christmas or….Merry Halloween time!  My son’s actual costume for this year is to come!

Pin, share, enjoy!

 

He called these “football pants”.  You know, because they sort of look like footballs.  It made him real amped to wear them either way.

    Beautiful creation. I want to buy one for my 4years old song for wearing it during their school annual function. Is it available?
