Adult Lava Girl Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

And my son is insisting that he needs arm cuffsfor his costume, I told him I would try to make some before Halloween.

Each project begins with a passion for true quality–embroidered patches, faux fur cut with care, and hand-selected fabrics that are as durable as they are comfortable. So I had her put on the sweatsuit and used my fabric marking pen to mark out the general design (referring to a picture on my phone frequently). The costume comes with a bright pink jumpsuit that has plenty of details from the movie, like printed lava patterns on the chest and legs. This one was a little harder to make work, especially on a 4 year old’s body, but she is more than happy so I am happy! I made my husband a Thor costume a couple years ago (still one of my favorites ever) with the same techniques.This year the hubby and I have decidedto reuse Halloween costumes from years past since I was running out of time and we couldn’t decide on something for us to dress up as to match the kids costumes. To make the “lava” really look like it was on fire, I also added a single string of gold sequin ribbon right down the middle.

I’m not crafty at all but need to learn because my 4yr old son wants to be lava girl lol and my 8 year old is going to be shark boy!I’m not going to do a full tutorial on how I made the costumes, but I did take some pictures of the process and can give you some pointers. I guess it’s now a Halloween tradition, and I’d hate to break that tradition so I guess I will continue to complete costumes late the night before we need them.

There’s just something about a homemade costume, something full of love, and a little frustration, that makes the holiday more fun. Just use a measuring tape to get an idea of how much you would need to wrap around their bodies with extra room to allow for movement. Even though I love sewing, I find sometimes it’s easier to skip the traditional sewing for any costume that is not real clothing. It saves me so much time, especially when I am layering different cuts of fabric to get 3 dimensional elementsto the costume. This year, against my recommendations and trying to nudge them in a different direction, my kids decided they really wanted Sharkboy and Lavagirl Halloween costumes.By providing a phone number and submitting this form, you agree to receive recurring automated promotional and personalized marketing text messages (e. The shark boy seems to be very hard to do the fun and everything like I said I’m definitely not crafty! The outfit may not give your child any real lava superpowers, but it will certainly make her feel ready to face off against any bad guy who threatens the Planet of Drool. This year we needed the costumes a full week before Halloween for a friend’s Halloween themed birthday party.

These costumes needed extra textures and 3D things coming off them, so I used my Halloween favsof felt, cardboard, hot glue and fabric glue!Maybe I’m just tired of this project and ready to move on to the next one (does anyone else do that too?
