Pro's - how much fun is it to pick a book character and dress up!
Con's - 4 kids means 4 costumes and all of it was last minute...
If you want something done, give it to a crazy person (or busy person but who's got time for that!).
Sooooo my boys choose :-
Greg from Diary of a Whimpy Kid,
Wally from Where's Wally,
Tom from Beast Quest and
Minion - ok that's a movie right?
Greg was fun!!! I literally found white thermal leggings and tops and glued black ribbon on it. A bit of board for the cut out with stanly knife.
Wally was interesting... I had to use a cotton that didn't stretch and the hat is a beanie (eeek it's a Sydney swans hat under the hat). I just copied a t shirt pattern and drew around the hat.
Tom is by far my favorite costume, he is spot on to the book illustration. I may have unpicked a pair of his old skinny jeans with holes (most my boys jeans end up with holes) to use for the pattern. The top is just a pattern for a tshirt with a collar.
Minion was the easiest, loving the googles!!!
All this effort was worth it for the excitement it gave my boys!!!
