Snow Globes - New Orleans and Hawaii Costumes

My 14 year old (New Orleans) and 12 year old (Hawaii) daughters love homemade costumes for Halloween, and they've won in neighborhood and school contests for several years. I can't sew, but I can tape and hot glue like a champ. It's just a very fun Mom-daughter tradition. This year's project was snow globes, surprisingly easy, made with 6 sheets if desk protector acetate sheets from amazon, a sheet of insulation board for the base, a thick sheet of foam to fit to the waist, spray paint and little doodads unique to each location. It only took a few hours, the sacrifice of a kitchen carving knife to cut the foam and board, and a few bags of hot glue sticks. I got the idea online - and a very helpful Dad on Flicker provided a website with step by step instructions for the globe itself - priceless! They were the life of the parties and the girls loved all the attention.
