Since it's October and Halloween is just around the corner here is another past Halloween Costume. Halloween 2012 my husband and I went as Mario and Luigi. These costumes were super easy to make and cost $20 - $25 for both costumes put together.
Supplies:
How to:
Hats: Cut out two white circles. Draw a green "L" on one and a red "M" on the other. Put tape on the back and stick them on your hats. They sell Mario and Luigi hats at Halloween stores and online we just couldn't find any for cheap when we looked.
Mustaches: You can make or buy any mustaches you prefer. Mustache 1: I made our mustaches out of construction paper, black pipe cleaners and chop sticks, all things I found lying around our house. I basically cut out paper in the shape of Mario and Luigi's mustaches and hot glued it to a chop stick. I them used black pipe cleaners and hot glued them over the paper to make the mustache's look fussy. We carried these in our socks since our pockets weren't long enough. Mustache 2: I drew mustaches on our pointer finger with a sharpie incase we forgot the other ones.
Overalls: We borrowed two pairs of suspenders from friends and attached them to our blue jean shorts. I cut out four yellow circles and taped them to the suspenders. They may fall off depending on how much you move. If you have access to real overalls then you can wear them instead.
Get Dressed, pull your socks up high and don't forget to tuck in your shirts. Mario and Luigi were very easy costumes to put together and didn't really involve a lot of crafting. It wouldn't of cost us as much if we didn't have to buy the hats but hopefully you can find cheaper ones. Hope you have a Happy Halloween!!!
