Bay's costume

Popcorn anyone? Lucky for me, Bailey doesn't care what I decide for her to be for Halloween. I'm starting to wonder if she will trust me again next year after having to go walking around the hood while wearing a box lol This year Morgan and I made Bailey a box of popcorn to wear.

First I painted a box with red spray paint. It took close to three cans! After it was dry, we used white duct tape to make the white lines. Morgan designed a pop corn logo and I cut out the words popcorn using my cricut. Next was the fun part. We used Great Stuff to make the fluffy popcorn. Great Stuff is a gap filler if anyone is wondering. We had to do the corn in layers. It took about an hour for a layer to fully dry.



For the hat, I just bought a bowl at the D.I for 75 cents and added foam to it. Then we drilled a hole on the sides so I could put ribbon through to tie the bowl to Bay's head.
This was one of the most funnest costume I have ever made. Maybe because it was kinda crafty :)

Your kids actually LET YOU decide what they are going to be for Halloween?? What?!?! My kids stopped doing that a few years ago... actually this year was the first year I was unable to convince Conner to be what I thought he should be... Brayden has veto-ed my opinions for several years now though.... sigh!
Love the costumes though! You guys are way too genius when it comes to making/building things.
