Need last minute Costumes? How about a Disney Inspired Halloween

By Divina

So Halloween is on Monday and you still don’t have a costume?  Or you have a kid like me who keeps changing his mind so you need an affordable costume?  Or it’s your baby’s first Halloween can’t justify buying an expensive costume for just one night?

Don’t worry, Disney and Dancing Hotdogs to the rescue!  Below are some Disney Inspired Halloween Costumes you can whip up to make the night special without too much work.

Happy Halloween!

Baby’s DISNEY CUDDLY BODYSUIT™   Monsters, Inc.

Just put bodysuit on with whatever fun (and warm says the CT Mami) pants and accessories and you got yourself a little monster.

Of course with the wide variety of colors the bodysuits come in you can make several costumes like a pumpkin, a bumble bee or a 101 Dalmatian.

So I checked there are no Jake and the Never Land pirate costumes in the store.  Below are the costume instructions from Disney’s costume designer Zachary Bilemdjian if you are feeling crafty.

Jake Costume

• Blue jeans or pants
• Brown boots
• Brown cardboard

Instructions:

1. Cut out collar ribbing on white T-shirt and remove

2. Make a V shaped cut in center front of the collar

3. Make a few V shaped cuts in the sleeve

4. Using a needle with a big eye, thread the black yarn or ribbon. Stitch an X center front V at collar

5. If using a dark blue jacket, cut out the sleeves to turn it into a vest

6. Use the yellow duct tape to cover the buttons and attach to vest

7. Tape the outline of the vest using the yellow duct tape. Don’t forget the lapel
