Halloween Costumes, Part 2

This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience. Read my full disclosure policy here.

I love to see the creative things people come up with for Halloween costumes!  So much better than my semi-homemade “tulip fairy” for little Noodle.  Here are some of my favorites from around the interweb:

Little Birdie Secrets shows how she made a chickie costumes for her little birdie!  This is an all-around great site if you like to DIY.  Click the link to see the whole costume, with step-by-step directions!


We all know Martha Stewart loves Halloween.  She has oodles of costumes on her website, but I had to highlight this one that was sent in by one of her readers.  They are the YipYips, from Sesame Street!  Remember them?  More information here.
And this is one sweet little goldfish.  Wish I had those crafting skills!  Martha gives directions here.
Release your inner Wild Thing with a hat from MartianChild’s Etsy shop.  I *almost* hate to point this out, but I just have to let you know that the seller/creator is only 16 years old.  Seriously?  Check out that workmanship!  I think these hats would be fun well beyond just Halloween, too.  They look so warm!
I found about this shop about 15 minutes too late.  A friend found NotTheKitchenSink through Etsy’s Alchemy and she is making a costume for her daughter.  Of course, she happens to have a NOODLE BOWL costume, perfect for my little noodle! 
I’m not sure I can resist this cupcake for next year, though.  So sweet!
 
And, sushi.  The wasabi and ginger make it off the hook!
 

Julie at Little-One-of-a-Kind-Designs did some great Pottery Barn costume knock-offs!  Click the links to see her puppy and peacock versions.  Clever!

As the days continue to get colder, I’m trying to keep my spirits up by enjoying the season.  I even got 5 minutes to lay out in the lounge chair snuggled in my fleece today.  I’m trying to soak up every last moment of sunshine!  That being said, I can’t believe I haven’t gotten my fall decorations up yet.  This week, I promise!  I just couldn’t tear myself away from that sunshine to get up and do it…

Any great costume ideas to share?  Link or comment below!
