So this year I made the family costumes not sure if I will ever do that
again. It was major stressful and I didn't exactly pick a cheap theme so
yeah we will see : D. We went with Star Wars as a family theme I was
Leia on planet Hoth, Mark (my husband) was Han Solo, Sam was Luke from
RoTJ, and Johnny was Yoda. So for mine I found some white pants a white
turtle neck and since I couldn't find a white vest I made one out of a
white sweater by removing the sleeves with a seam riper, I then made her
ranking from duct tape and paint swatches and used some fabric from one
of the sleeves to put it on the vest. I found a hair piece that was a
braid at Claires to finish the outfit. Marks outfit was a little harder I
bought him tight jeans because my husband does not wear tight anything ;
D he likes to be comfy in his clothes I then sowed on the blood stripes
using red felt strips This was by far the most annoying part of these
costumes as well as the most time consuming. We found him a shirt and
then we bought a tux vest at D.I. for 5 bucks which works because I
don't have to buy one later (he already had a tux but no vest so yeah
for future use) I made the belt out of brown felt and duct tap and I
also made him a blaster out of a cereal box and duct tape (by the way I
love duct tape) Oh and I used the metallic duct tape it is shinier than
regular duct tape. so that was Marks outfit.. All I did for Sam was all
black with one black glove and a Blue Saber (which we found small ones
at WalMart for like $3 they also could be a necklace) For Johnny's I bought a
Yoda stuffed toy to look at and he happened to be the same sizes as Johnny
so I stole his cloak and then put it over a mostly brown onesie I then
free styled a beanie to be the top of Yoda's head not perfect but it
worked ; ). So yeah here is how we all looked.
