My son has dressed up like Spiderman for the past 2 years. He thought that the third time would be a charm... but I was ready for something else. So... I asked him if he would rather be Spiderman or a Lego -- his eyes lit up! (He is totally obsessed with Legos). And then of course, my 2-year old insisted that he needed to be a Lego too. I couldn't get him to stand still... so this is the best pic I could get so far. He was totally wound up... (and that's before candy!)
So... if you're desperate for a costume and need something quick... here's what you do:
- Cut the bottom out of a box.
- Add holes for the head and arms
- Hot glue small food containers to the front of the box (I used small Ziplock brand bowls)
- Spray paint box (I used Krylon's paint that is recommended for painting plastic and it covered the bowls very well.)
My nephew - Blake's - birthday falls on Halloween. I sent him this spoooooky card using one of C.C. Designs' adorable Halloween stamps. He's colored with Copic markers. I wish you could see the card irl. His hair and pumpkin are all sparkly from my Spica pens! (love them!!!) The sentiment is from SU's Booglie Eyes set. I just added some letters to create what I wanted it to say.
Hope you have a Spooktacular Day!!!!
