Jellyfish2
Halloween is serious business around here.  The girls have been dreaming up, planning and changing their minds about costumes for months now.  I have been spending a crazy amount of time thinking about tulle and glitter.  This real-time blog tends to post our costumes later in the month because we spend most of October in costume construction mode.  We have been using Pinterest boards to amass images and ideas this year.  Ada and I are pretty addicted to Pinterest and the girls want to look over the boards whenever they get a turn on the computer.  Here is our Domestic Space Halloween Board.  Any guesses about this year’s costumes?

Here are some DIY costume ideas from prior Halloweens:

I promise we will post this years costumes as soon as we get them finished.  Hooray for Halloween!

DIY Tulle Jellyfish Costume

Our Halloween costumes seem to have taken on an ocean theme around here.  Josie Jellyfish was considerably faster to make than Ada’s Mermaid costume from yesterday’s post.  The tulle gives a sort of underwater-floaty feeling and Josie was having fun spinning around and watching it move.  This costume is easy to make into adult or larger kid sizes.  You could whip out a whole family’s worth of jellyfish in an hour or two!  To make your own super easy Jellyfish Costume you will need:

*A Variety of Tulle

*Tank Top to Match Tulle

*Matching Leggings

*Scissors

*Needle and Thread to Match Tulle

*Crocheted Hat (Optional)

1. Cut tulle into strips.  (Ours are about 1 1/2″ x 12″).

2. Stitch the tulle strips one after another around the neckline of tank top.  Use small stitches on the front and larger stitches inside shirt.

3. The tank can be layered over warmer clothes if you are going outside.  (I always hated how Northern weather ruined my Halloween creations when I was little).

That’s it!  Happy Halloween!
