Halloween Costumes

[DianaB]

When my son was younger we made a Halloween costume that won a prize at a local store. It was very simple but very different......he went as a boy walking on his hands.

I took a muslin sack and painted a face on it then sewed a cap on it's head. I sewed the head onto an old shirt of my husbands. Then I took a pair of jeans and put them over my son's head (we had to cut holes to see and to breathe). I pinned the shirt to the jeans. I, also sewed stuffed gloves on top of a pair of socks which went on his feet and then I put shoes and socks on his hands! It was a lot cuter in person even then it is in the photo.

What made it so funny was that people didn't know where to look for my son's face at. You could see their eyes going up and down to find his head. You know it makes us uncomfortable to look at someone's crotch!!!! The only problem was he would get very hot and uncomfortable so it came off and on alot!!!! That was a fun year!!
