Anyone want to share what their DC are dressing up as for Halloween?

Desperately need ideas!

I have a Harry and a Hermione here. We got some bits off ebay that they will combine with uniform. And possible home made bits.

Resusing world book day outfits, thats a good idea!

DD's completely obsessed!

Halloween Shock I thought you were going to ask what I was dressing up as

I have to withdraw from dressing up this year , DD is going out and I might be on taxi duty.

She's going to be a demonic Harli-Quin type (but very glam , she's a teenager), I bought her a Jester Bell Hat (her insistance) and she'll do red/black on a white base.

Can I post some pics in the morning?
I’ve never made anything before and am quite pleased with them :)

@70isaLimitNotaTarget

You should dress up anyway, even for taxi duty! My 8 year olds called Harley so he might want to try a boy version, thanks!

@melmo26

Yes, I would love to see!

Will get my DDs to put the costumes on tomo and take a pic :)

shockedballoon · 22/10/2017 22:22

Here's Dobby - old pillow case and white leggings stained with tea bag. Old tights trimmed down and ears copydexed on (fashioned from felt & wire) though I'm sure you could buy elf ears off Amazon to make it even easier.

Oops - pressed send too soon. Meant to say I'll stick a witches hat on myself and a haughty expression and call myself Narcissa Malfoy. 😁

CountDuckulaTheSqueaky · 23/10/2017 04:47

I love his ears!

melmo26 · 23/10/2017 14:22

They're fab melmo - particularly love the tulle skirt outfit, wouldn't mind that in my size!

I LOVE Halloween, we go all out! Both me and the husband dress up and join in the fun.

This year one of my boys is obsessed with Egyptians so he is going as a golden Egyptian king. I ve basically drowned him in highlighter, we also did the Egyptian eye liner and gold and black lips.

I love all the costumes, they all look great 😊

13 month old DD is being Max from Where The Wild Things Are, so white sleepsuit, knitted yellow crown and a big grey fluffy tail. Very easy and hopefully she won't remove all elements before I can get a cute picture. DP and I may attempt some form of Wild thing outfits to match. Just hoping all the bits arrive in time!

CountDuckulaTheSqueaky · 25/10/2017 16:13

silkpyjamas please post a pic when she's in it? That's so cute! DS2 was a 2 month old pumpkin on his first Halloween! 🎃
