My good friend has to come up with a velveeta cheese costume for her 8 year old....Any ideas out there from you creative mommies?
A really cute idea to add to the others (GREAT ideas!) is to make a little Rotel can purse or bag for the child to carry around. Have fun with this!
The Velveeta box would be pretty easy...get a card board box, spray paint it yellow, paint on the white oval and then write velveeta on it in red (maybe using stencils). Cut out holes for the arms on the sides.
For a slice of cheese, get two pieces of foam in a square shape. Glue them together, leaving an opening at the top (for the head), bottom (for the legs), and on the sides (for the arms). Cover the square in yellow fabric, maybe something a little shiny to give it that platicy cheese look!
Good luck. :)
Start with a cardboard box.
Use yellow tempura paint and go from there...
Could be fun!
buy foam from micheals, hot glue it in a cheese shape and hot glue yellow fleece over it.
Get a large cardboard box (from TVs or build your own furniture), cut out a rectangle, spray paint it yellow or have fun with the kids painting it, add words with stencils or freehand. The kids can help color in the letters, too.
Put two arm holes and two smaller ones for a string to go around his/her neck.
That could work.
what a cute idea. Are you looking for ideas to go with her velveeta costume? Your kid could be a bag of tortilla chips. I think the idea to make a purse out of a Rotel can is really cute.
We had a fun "theme" one year with my son and his cousins. My son was an orange crayon (actually it was 'pumpkin") his cousin was a pencil with an eraser hat and little girl cousin was a pencil sharpener. I made the costume out of fleece. I just made a tube and used some plastic tubing to make the edges stay in circles. I made arm holes and left the seam open at the top about 12 in. and just put in a velcro to close. I added tie-straps over the shoulders and made a triangle hat out of the orange fleece for the crayon tip. I used the printer to make the right sized-template to create the Crayola logo and the color label "pumpkin". I cut those out of black felt and sewed them on.
A couple of years ago my son was Obi Wan Kenobi. I just bought off-white blanket fleece and made him a robe he could slip over his head. I sewed in a dickie using brown fleece felt for the v-neck collar and we wrapped it with a real karate belt and a light saber. For the hood, we turned one of his hoodies with a fleece lining inside out and he wore brown sweat pants. Any year he decides he wants to dress up as Moses, we have the costume. : )
Can you tell I like working with fleece? Halloween is always COLD in Colorado. Have fun!
I'm just curious what the costume is for...
