As we move into October, Halloween is definitely on my mind.
Halloween is that one time of year where you can be anything you want to be!
When I was a child my mother would make my costume, and it was really fun
to try and find different things around the house to make the outfit complete.
To see a costume develop from simple materials is pretty amazing, almost like a dream!
That is why I continue on with the tradition of making Jaxon and Maya's costume
from scratch every year.
Maya as a mermaid Materials: deconstructed previous year's Statue of Liberty costume, shopping bag tail, handpainted gold details. |
Jaxon as a soldier Materials used: his grandfather's BDU deconstructed, rug pad remnants, etc. |
