Homemade Lily Monster Costumes - Homemade Halloween Costumes

The child in the Costume is, in fact, "Lily" Ü
Costume made by Lily's Mom, Angela Wilder

In Angela's words:

I used things around the house:

news paper

liquid starch

wire hanger

old fur coat

paint

balloons

glue gun

masking tape

First I cut up the fur coat to fit my 3 yr old

Used the starch, newspaper, and balloon and paper mache' the balloons (3 layers of paper) with drying in between. Then I cut the balloons to fit her head and cut out and taped smaller balloons for eyes. Hot glued the leftover fur on the head. Took the wire hangers cut them in half and wrapped new paper around the wire and taped it then bent it in the shape. I then paper mache' the horn, when that is dried I taped and glued the horn on the head and paper mache' over that. Then when everything is dried you paint it. The head did not fit that well so I filled it with a think sponge that would be in a couch cushion.

Thanks Again Angela! Ü

If you don't have the time or the inclination to MAKE a costume this year. If you've thought about it, but your heart, for whatever reason, JUST isn't in it...You can probably purchase a costume of the type you were planning to make...and maybe even for about the same as you might spend on the materials to MAKE a costume.
On the other hand, you may look around and spot a Costume that changes your Costume plans completely Ü.
Here are some cool costumes for a little girl:
