My DIY costumes inspired by cartoon or movie characters

Halloween costumes inspired by cartoon or movie characters by ana@carpe_diem

Hello, everyone!

 

Is it just me or Halloween

(and all other holidays, to be true)

is comming faster and faster each year? :)

 

I was always a great fan of costumes and costume-making.

I live in Croatia where Halloween is not  a traditional holiday.

We use to dress ourselves in various costumes during Karnival period

that is usually held in February

and ends with great celebrations the day before Ash Wednesday.

In a region where we live it is very important for costumes to be handmade,

otherwise they can not enter competition and win a prize.

 

 

In today's post I would like to summarize

some of my DIY costumes inspired by cartoon or movie characters.

 

 

Let's stat with my our favorite cartoon - NEMO:

 My second pick are characters that can be considered as classic-

MICKEY AND MINNIE MOUSE!

There was 40 of us dressed like Mickey or Minnie,

the whole kindergarden, mothers, simblings.

THE SNOWHITE!

I looved this animated movie and books,

I looved all about her!

I didn't have Snowhite costume when I was a little,

so I made one for my daughter

just because I believe every girl should feel like a princess.

Tutorial is HERE

 Very very simple costume of ALADDIN is next.

This costume is actually made for a school play,

but it can be used as Halloween or Karnival costume.

Another great group / family costume is THE WIZARD OF OZ.

This idea is proposed to me by my older daughter

since we were looking for a costumes for 4 people;

my girls, my son and myself.

 

I loved every minute of making it.

 

 My younger daugher was Dorothy, she had a basket with Toto (stuffed toy) and a oiler for Tin Man. And red shoes, of course!

 Older daugher was a Tin Man, She had a funnel on her head and an axe. She was pretty much amused all the time :)

 Dino was a Cowardly Lion. He was sooo cute!

 

I got to be a Scarecrow, who else?

My costume was very simple, some old clothes, a hat and some straw.
