Skeleton Maternity Costume

It’s my second pregnancy and my second time creating a fun maternity costume for Halloween. This year I went with a simple DIY shirt to wear out trick or treating with my little one and at the Halloween party we hosted. It was such a fun way to celebrate the holiday while celebrating my pregnancy as well. And everyone I ran into loved the idea! 

I may be weird but I am LOVING this pregnancy. My son has been keeping me on my toes but I’ve been able to take time for myself when needed and enjoy the milestones. With this possibly being the last pregnancy for us, I want to soak it all in! And that includes celebrating holidays and taking lots of photos. Hopefully, you won’t get too sick of the photos.

Charlie Brown Halloween Costume for Baby

November 1, 2009 by 10 Comments

We had a wonderful day today. It all started with pumpkin carving and ended with a wonderful Halloween party at my neighbor’s mother’s house. Little E had a wonderful time with all the kids and I took many pictures!

Everyone loved his costume and we got many compliments for it. Most were shocked to find we made it ourselves but it was so simple I couldn’t see NOT making it!

Since this was Ethan’s first Halloween we didn’t want a costume that would make him too hot or uncomfortable so we stuck with an easy Charlie Brown costume. A t-shirt with a squiggle and shorts, how simple is that!

How to make a Charlie Brown Halloween Costume for Baby

What you’ll need: 

What you do: 

Ok guys… this can’t get more simple. Cut your black fabric in a zig-zag pattern. Apply No-Sew to the back of the fabric and adhere to shirt. Let dry completely.

Try the shirt on, add the black pants and brown shoes and your Charlie Brown is ready for his big debut! Remember to add Snoopy for an added touch so no one will ask what your little man is for Halloween.

Extra bonus points if baby is still bald… like mine!

My husband made an iron-on transfer for his shirt that had a picture of Charlie Brown and it said “Wah, Wah, Wah” all over it and underneath Charlie it said “Charlie Brown’s Dad” so everyone would know what the “Wah, Wah, Wah” meant. So cleaver he is!

E and his buddy. And shortly after this was taken…

Here’s a Quick Way to Make a Maternity Bun In The Oven Halloween Costume

November 1, 2008 by 87 Comments

Bun in the Oven Halloween Costume

 

I had to share my Halloween costume with everyone. Yes, there is a bun in the oven. Yes, my hair looks really bad and I have no makeup on… hopefully, I can get a better picture to post soon!

Making this costume was super easy. I grabbed a white box I had lying around, printed off a clip art photo of a bun, grabbed some hardware from my work, and printed out the due date as the time on the oven. All in all, it took less than 30 minutes and was perfect for me to wear to work. This would also be great for parties and is super comfortable and not too intrusive. 

Bun In The Oven Halloween Costume

What you’ll need:

What you do:

1. Close up one side of the box and tape shut.

2. Turn the box around and cut off the two smaller panels and one of the longer panels off leaving one long panel.

3. On the closed side, paste the bun image onto the box. Trace with a sharpie to create the oven window. Attach the cabinet door hardware.

4. On the top of the box create oven range coils by using the sharpie.

5. On the long flap add rectangle print out of due date in time form as the clock on the oven. Then add the oven knob.

6. Add the ribbon on either side of the long flap and place over your neck to wear.

Were you ever pregnant on Halloween? What did you dress up as?
