Nightmare Before Christmas Costume

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Costume type:  Costumes for Families
Categories:Halloween Costumes, Movie and TV Show Costumes

This homemade costume for families entered our 2018 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Sarah, the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' costume creator:

This is my family and our Nightmare Before Christmas costumes.
My oldest son was Jack Skellington. His suit was a store-bought costume, but I made a new bat bow-tie (because it needed to be bigger, imo), and made him a new mask by using paper-mache on a balloon.
My daughter was Sally. Her mask was also a paper-mache balloon, with a store-bought Sally dress.
My youngest son was Jack's dog, Zero. I used a baseball cap, then cut pieces out of foam for both the mouth and the ears. I put wire into each piece, so that they could bend, and then covered them all in white felt. I found a small pumpkin for the tip of the nose at the dollar store, and was able to sew that on. Then I just had him wear all white, and covered him with a white sheet.
My husband was Oogie Boogie. His costume was made from burlap, just sewn together with black yarn. I wrapped some burlap around pipe cleaners to shape the eyes and mouth, then sewed it all together.
I was the Mayor of Halloweentown. I used a lamp shade, and painted each side with the Mayor's "two faces". The hat was made with the base of a witch's hat, and a piece of black bristol board, with white fabric around the bottom. Then I used a dollar store spider for the "tie" and made the "Mayor" badge out of orange paper.
Hope you like it!
