Last year, we did a post about how to make a lovely Pierrot costume like Spring's: read our extended notes on making a Pierrot. Pictured here: Tunic Pattern by Made by Rae; Collar by Lucille; Pom Pom tutorial by The Sweetest Occasion and Knitting pattern for slippers by Carrie Bostick Hodge. This week, we'll be posting more Halloween costume ideas inspired by our Halloween story, stay tuned!
We are hanging out with Snoopy!
We are in a Kid's Halloween Bundle with It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown by Loud Crow. This is an amazing project — it has the original music and voices and everything!
Find the Kid's Halloween Bundle from Loud Crow here!
We are also partnered with a great app from the Bramble Berry Tales — The Story of Kalkalilh, a really wonderful and award-winning app inspired by a traditional story of the Squamish nation and aims to teach and preserve the Squamish language. Something that we feel very strongly about supporting. Thank-you, Loud Crow!
Halloween on Pinterest
Hi, if you're looking for Halloween ideas, our Halloween board on Pinterest has lots of costume and party ideas, so come visit! We try to keep our ideas manageable, inexpensive and kind to the earth. Let us know if you have any great tips, we'd love to hear.
Licorice allsort costume
Inspired by Spring's rollerskates in our first story, "Windy's Lost Kite", with their licorice allsorts wheels (yes, they are real ... and yes, many of our supplies "disappeared" from the art department work tables, heh heh), we present: the licorice allsort costume. Cheap, cheerful, no mess and materials under $10 ... if you make one please send us a photo!
Materials: black clothing, white cardboard box, duck tape from the hardware store in black + and one bright colour (we like flamingo pink, too). Make yourself some duck tape suspenders and tape some stripes around the box. Done!
