Good Morning! As I mentioned last week in my DIY Costume post, I will be giving away a halloween costume this month. But not just any costume, it will be custom, one of a kind costume made just for you child!
(1. pig in a blanket, 2. sheep, 3. garden flower, 4. bat)
Here’s how it works:
Head over to thredup.com and find a piece of clothing that sparks a costume idea for you. Post the thredup link and your idea in the a comment section of this post. And that’s it. One lucky winner will be chosen on September 24th. If you win, I will execute your costume idea, and ship it out to you! And don’t worry, your costume will be shipped out at the beginning of October. So it will be there in plenty of time for Halloween!
You can refer to the images above as an example. They use some clothing basics, like black leggings, pink top and bottom, green pants, etc. Now head on over to thredup.com and get inspired! Good Luck!
*Due to shipping costs and time, I can only ship to the United States.

My son really wants to be a ghost. This might be a cool part of the costume!

We want to dress up as characters from Toy Story! My husband and I are going to be Woody and Jessie, our son wants to be Buzz Lightyear and my daughter is going to be Little Bo Peep. This sweater just might make the perfect sweater for Bo Peep 🙂 http://www.thredup.com/items/269645-Gymboree-light-sweaters-18-24-mo
My son really wants to be a unicorn for Halloween, and even though it’s a girl’s hoodie, this would be a perfect base for a horn and some rainbow ribbon hair: http://www.thredup.com/items/258880-Old-Navy-hoodies-4T.
This could be turned into so many animals, but I think a little black bear would be really cute!

Our 4 year old son really like Angry Birds. This boy’s black shirt size 8/10 would be a great start for a black Bomber bird costume. Great giveaway! Thanks!!http://www.thredup.com/items/252303-Tek-Gear–long-sleeve-shirts-10

I picked this dress because my daughter, Eris, wants to be a zombie/monster girl for Halloween. She wants to dress up in a spooky but pretty dress and wear a cute wig and zombie or pale makeup. This dress would be perfect to add some spider web and plastic spiders, or other spooky tihngs! 🙂
Kind of like a spooky doll!
I love this little dress: http://www.thredup.com/items/256767-Baby-Gap-dresses-18-24-mo

http://www.thredup.com/items/250513-Gymboree-other-hat-Other-Size and http://www.thredup.com/items/251195-Childrens-Place-other-shoes-Other-Size would make an adorable dinosaur costume for my son!
I would just need a green long-sleeved shirt and matching pants. I could attach pieces of felt for spikes down his back and would make a tail to attach to the pants.
As a family we are going as pirates, and dressing our infant (he will be 4 months old by Halloween) as a parrot! These would make great starters for the costume:
Red hat- add a beak and eyes to the top to make it look like a parrot!

Red turtleneck top – was thinking that different colors of felt cut to look like wings/feathers could be added to the back and arms.

It would just need some red sweats, or red leggings to complete the parrot!
My son wants to be a dinosaur so this would work out perfectly: http://www.thredup.com/items/259172-Childrens-Place-long-sleeve-shirts-12-mo

This would work perfect to make my two year old OLIVIA.. She watches it over and over throughout the day. I would get a pink long sleeve shirt and light pink leggings. I would make a headband with felt pink piggy ears adding red bows to each ear. I would add a tiara, as this would be Olivia’s fame look. Maybe even a pink felt piggy nose.
of course at home we would paint her face pink and add some sparkles.
Idea of costume.

My daughter loves “butter butter” flys! I thought these three pieces would be a cute start. Add wings and some antenna on the hat. Cute!

http://www.thredup.com/items/250117-Gymboree-dresses-7 This would make a perfect zebra costume. I would make a head band with ears and a mane going down the back and would add a tail. She would be the prettiest zebra EVER!
my 2 year old daughter wants to be a Princess Kitty. I’d pair this http://www.thredup.com/items/253807-Hello-Kitty-dresses-2T with some black leggings & a black or multi colored tutu & a long sleeve shirt with some cute little ears & a tiara & whiskers.
My daughter insists on being a princess, so I’d love to come up with something beautiful for her – maybe starting here?

We’ve got tickets to our city’s trick or treat festival at the zoo! For the costume contest, we’re going as a trio: Dad as Han Solo, mom as Leia, and our 8 month old daughter will be an Ewok. I could certainly use some help when it comes to creating her costume! This GAP vest would be a good start!

My daughter really wants to be a Giraffe, she has had a fetish with them for a while. It gets really cold where we live so layers are a must. And where this is a high neck it would be perfect. So i would use this for the neck of her giraffe costume and possibly the sleeves depending on how cold it is. http://www.thredup.com/items/221938-Gymboree-long-sleeve-shirts-4
