Handmade Halloween Costumes

Hi there,

I've decided that I want to make my family's Halloween costumes this year. I've already decided and begun mine. But I still need an idea for my 9-year-old stepdaughter and for my Boyfriend.

Any suggestions would be great, I love crafting but my abilities are a bit low. I can cross-stitch, crochet, hand knit, and kinda sew.

Thanks in advance!

For your boyfriend, you could make a Freddy Krueger costume with ease- it's basically just about making the jumper, buying (or making) the hat and buying the claw and mask.
For the stepdaughter, nothing famous springs to mind. You could always ask her what she likes (I have no idea what 9 year old girls want from a Halloween costume)

I think we've decided on what we're doing for her. She wants to be a stripey princess, so we are buying striped toe socks and making a skirt to match and making the crown and stick thingy (??)

Just Dahlia agrees: Septer? Wand?

Wow! How are you going to make the tail feathers?

Is your stepdaughter into animals of any kind?

Thanks!
