My Lukas decided he wanted to be Doctor Who (the David Tennet version), so we went through closets and made a list of what we needed to make and or find for him. It was so much fun seeing him get excited when we found the perfect suit at the thrift store. With just a few alterations he was ready to assume the character in full force!
Nikolas's costume was more of a challenge. My sweet spiky haired boy wanted to be Ezio from the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood video game. Holy smokes! This costume is medieval times and very detailed. There was no pattern and no running out to purchase unless I had an extra couple of hundred bucks to blow. Since that wasn't going to happen we headed to Joann's and got some great fabric on super sale! I got busy trying to recreate each piece of the costume. I am so pleased with how it turned out!
Kenny and Zackery were easy. Zombies. Another trip to the thrift store and a couple of questionable suits later we have great costume materials! I let them do their thing and I think they were pretty successful with the creepy factor as long as they didn't break out into smiles!
I loved the challenges they brought us this year! It was fun and we got all four of them decked out for less than $50! Way better than we could have done if we bought everyone a store made costume!
Until next time,
