Needless to say, Halloween is a just a big excuse to get our crafting on and we love to pull out all the stops! This year, Jude was a strong man (inspired by his penchant for bashing things and lifting heavy objects despite repeated warnings that if one, say, drops a large rock on one’s foot, it’s gonna hurt!)
His costume was based on our fab Going Strong card…
The costume consisted of drawing Sailor Jerry style tattoos with Sharpies on a pink leotard, leggings (made by tracing half a pair of store-bought leggings, cutting out four pieces and stitching them together – way easier than you would think!), a pair of Tom’s and a barbell made with two styrofoam balls, a dowel, and papîer maché…the toughest part was drawing a moustache on a two year old! I also slicked his hair down with egg whites for that 19th century gentleman look…
Have a fabulous Halloween!
I’m literally dying over how cute this is. Best kids costume I’ve maybe ever seen.
