Well I did it! I finished his mask an hour before he went out trick or treating. I think it came out great if I do say so myself. =) Here's what I did. At the Salvation Army I found a pair of white cotton lounge pants $3.99 and a white top for $2.99 and because it was pink tag day, both were 50% off! Score! I found a large piece of red felt at the Thrifty Shopper for 25 cents and straw hat for $1.
I made the tie out of the red fabric with some cardboard to give it some weight.
Ouchie, fabric shears are sharp!
Extra fabric used for the hamburgers with ketchup and pickles! I love love love me some McDonald's pickles!! Yum!
I made his cape and mask using the $2.95 black apron and $3 yellow shirt from Walmart.Then I taped off the shirt and pants using the only tape I could find: duct tape. (no pictures of that sorry) Sprayed the hat, shirt and pants with left over fabric paint and voila! There you have it- a happy teenager!!!
I told him since I injured myself during costume construction that any Twix or Kit Kats would be confiscated from the treat bag!!!
It was about 38 degrees in Upstate New York and hailed twice last night! I made him wear long johns and jeans under his clothes. BBRRR! He had a good time going out with his friends and didn't mind the cold at all. How do kids do it?? How was the weather in your neck of the woods.
