Halloween Costumes

I hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween! In the Decker household, we began preparations a few weeks ago. Granted this not a tutorial, BUT, I will have you know I made both costumes, accessories and all for under $30.00! I’m sorry, but you can’t buy a halfway decent costume for $15.00!

When it comes to costumes, just remember thrift stores are your friend! I got the kids boots and jackets in the women’s department! I tore them apart and recreated them. Buying the material alone would have been way more than $30. So, just remember to think outside the box!

My kids are still at an age that they really don’t care what costume I put them in, so I take advantage of it! This year I talked Wyatt into the idea that Captain Hook is a “Cool” pirate! I figured I could get him to get on board with that idea, because he currently likes “Jake and the Neverland Pirates”. My only criteria for costumes is that I have an elaborate one to make!
Its all about the details!

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a small fixation on dressing my two boys to match or at least coordinate. So, if Wyatt was going to be a pirate, then Mr. Linc would need to be either Peter Pan or another Pirate Captain….
So, I opted for another elaborate pirate. I was going for the Jack Sparrow look, I knew that there was NO way this kid would wear a wig, so he is kind of Jack Sparrow.
