My husband’s costume was a combo of thrift finds, torn, tattered and stained. Then I sewed a fin, using a skirt as a pattern, and added tulle fins (again, meticulously hand sequined.) I was covered in glitter and blue and green makeup, and found that delightfully tacky wig at Goodwill. I wore a nude tank top and pinned my hand sewn shells on. I made my ear “fins” from floral wire and tulle, and meticulously hand sewed sequins. Last year, we were a mermaid and a pirate, and our trunk was my giant shell: My mom mercifully glitter-ified my shoes, and I made the backdrop from a mishmash of different papers, glitter glues, fake poppies, paint, and a plastic tablecloth. I bought my dress and added a layer of lace to the hem and a slip for length. I made the hub’s costume from sweats, raffia and elastic, sewed the hat with fleece scraps, and painted his face. The first year we went as Dorothy and the scarecrow, and our trunk was Oz: My hubby and I have been participating in our church’s “trunk or treat” for the past couple of years, and it’s been a blast. I’m a sucker for Halloween and costumes in general. 😉Īnywho, I have loved that jellyfish costume idea for a while now! I have to give it to Martha, she and her team get pretty freaky for Halloween. Either way, even if the item was copyrighted, someone crafty could make something similar for personal use (but, from what I’ve seen, not of the same quality unless they’re experienced with printing on fabrics!) Most sellers are up on their SEO and google stats, and it appears this one’s sales haven’t been hurt by their item being posted all over the web. This one just happens to have been deactivated, maybe because the seller did it, or it’s possible etsy did.
My dream costumes are the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Rosie the Riveter, and a Domestic Goddess (which is already made, just haven’t worn it.)Īs an etsy seller, I personally don’t think it’s unethical to list an item in any blog post (even a DIY one,) as long as the link takes you back to the item listing, and/or the creator is given credit. My personal favorites from the last few years: Proper Young Lady, complete with leather bound “books” balanced my head and penny loafers Mother Nature with butterflies, birds, leaves, and glitter all over and in my hair (inspired from Martha Stewart’s “Grey Lady” costume) and Medusa, a sheer black toga over leggings and a men’s long-sleeve black tee where i split the sleeves on the outside and cut the neckline to match the toga and decorated everything with gold and bronze paints, rope belts, decorated gladiator sandals, and snakes glued to hair clips that slithered through and stood up in my hair. And I love the Carmen Sandiego costume from this list! So I was Jessie, my husband was Buzz and my sister was Rex the dinosaur. Last year, my son wanted to be Woody from Toy Story.
