I Spy Book Costume {Fantastic Fall Crafts & More}

Another great costume we did for the school character parade.  This one would also be super cute as a Halloween costume.

Family Costume Idea {Fantastic Fall Crafts & More}

Have you figured out your Halloween costumes yet?  This week I'm going to share a few of my favorites from the last few years.  Here we are last year dressed as some good guys & bad guys.

Elephant & Piggie Costume inspired by Mo Willems {Elementary School Character Parade}

I had a reader email me and ask me what costume we used for last year's Character Parade {when he was in Kindergarten}.  Last year, Cole went as Gerald from Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie Book.  Cole has always loved elephants and this was a perfect costume for him.  I bought the elephant costume on ebay.  The parade was in May and he had grown out of the elephant costume that we had (oh yeah, you read this right, this was not my FIRST elephant costume purchase).

I Spy Costume {Elementary School Character Parade}

This year for our annual Character Parade at Cole's school we decided to make a really cool I Spy costume.  A few years back we hosted an I Spy Birthday Party so you can see that the I Spy Books are very popular in our house.  

I started by collecting random things {junk} from around the playroom, craft room, etc.  I used a hot glue gun to attach everything.  Then I came up with a poem for the back {this was seriously the hardest part}.  I cut the poem out with my Silhouette Cameo and ironed it on.  You could also write it out using a fabric marker.  It really was an easy costume to make.
