Steak & A1 Sauce Costume

We always allowed our children to pick what they wanted to be for Halloween, with some interesting results. This particular year our daughter, Lizzie, said she wanted to be a steak! Since our son, John, is only a year older they often co-ordinate their costumes. He decided to be sauce for the steak. Thus was hatched the need for me to get creative with some cardboard, a glue gun and some paint. I always try to tie in something for them to collect their goodies in so the "Rare" and "Well Done" were added, and had boxes behind them for candy. Tip: if you're going to have arms or legs sticking out, make the openings so they don't rub your children. I used plastic tubing, sliced lengthwise, to encircle all the openings. Cardboard is great for 3D costumes - you just cut and shape it then hold it together with a generous amount of hot glue. Voíla - your kids can be anything they can think of!
