Last year Brenna was a Ghost and we were Ghostbusters!
The Handy Husband and I made our costumes from a plain white paint suit from Home Depot which cost about $7 each. The backpacks/ghostbuster guns were assembled from spare parts from the garage and a print-out of the Ghostbusters Logo from the computer. The straps on the backpack and the red stripes on the suits are duct tape.
Our little ghost, Brenna Boo's, costume was a Casper-onsie purchased from Walmart for $3, a black and white tutu, and personalized bloomers from Etsy's CustomClothesForKids.
In the works for this year is a princess themed family getup: Brenna, of course is the princess, Daddy will be sporting a Prince ensemble while I will be the EVIL QUEEN...muahahaha!

Cute! One year I was Strawberry Shortcake and my daughter was Custard. The next year, I was Rainbow Brite and she was Sprite. Then, she was a bee, me a flower and my husband a bee keeper.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you swung by to share your ghost costume! I think it's hilarious when I see things I've made almost exactly on other sites, it let's you know how alike we all are, I saw all those adorable onsies, and they make the perfect tutu combos, but I'm disappointed in Walmarts selection this year! . :O) I LOVE the ghostbusters theme you took! I'm sending my cousin a link now b/c I made this for his daughter! The other outfits had me laughing!
