Super Mario Costumes :)


So I must say I am beaming with pride on this one!  I made us some Halloween costumes and they turned out pretty darn cute!  And pretty dang cheap.  I think all together mine cost 25 bux (the wig and dress and fabric and gloves and puffy paint added up).  Dan's was all of 7 dollars and Kara's was maybe 7 dollars in fabric and bubble wrap!

Dan was Mario (obviously) I'm Princess Peach and Kara is a mushroom (aka toadstool).

Kara's costume an idea I got out of Family Fun magazine for the mushroom hat.  It's just a little cowboy hat with a ton of bubble wrap and some felt!  Then a little felt jumper I made and black felt eyes.  (just white t-shirt and tights under it.)


Dan's was too easy- just clothes from his closet and gloves, mustache and plunger (each 2 bux) (plus a little felt to make the m on his hat)





For my costume- I owe a TON of credit to Jen K. who shared her sewing expertise and helped me make the puffy sleeves and helped sew on the cute pink part at the bottom!  


This is us at the ward Trunk R Treat.  Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the boys- I'll take some on Halloween.  (The boys are Buzz Lightyear and a Red Power Ranger)

Awesome!! I especially like the plunger! You are too creative! I might have to convince some of my boys next year to be Mario and Luigi.
