Winifred Sanderson Costume- Halloween 2012

If you visit my blog regularly, you probably know I’m pretty serious about Halloween. I’ve posted costume ideas before including The Breakfast Club, Jay and Silent Bob, Rosie the Riveter & Marty McFly, and more. This year I decided to take my own advice and add some 90′s nostalgia to my costume by being Winifred Sanderson from the kids classic Hocus Pocus.

DIY Group Costume: Jay and Silent Bob

I honestly think this costume works just as well as a couples costume as it does for 2 guys. The reason? If a woman goes as Jay, there is no need to invest in a blonde wig.

IF HE GET’S UP…WE’LL ALL GET UP…IT’LL BE ANARCHY!

DIY: Group Halloween Costumes

Last year I posted 5 Fun Halloween Costumes that you could create yourself fairly easily. This year I’m back with 5 new ideas, this time for couples or groups. Once again, these costumes are perfect for anyone on a budget- especially those who like making their own costumes and/or have access to a thrift store. I’m going to give each costume idea a separate post, but here is a sneak preview:

As a product of the 80′s/90′s, I couldn’t resist a healthy dash of nostalgia. Stay tuned for more info!

Halloween Costumes

Just a quick update, my boyfriend and I used two of the costume ideas from my 5 Fun Halloween Costumes posts. I dressed up as Rosie the Riveter and Phil was Marty McFly- here are some pictures:

Soft Baked Caramel Apple Cookies with Caramel Frosting

I’m not going to lie to you- these cookies are to die for. They are soft, moist, sweet, and delicious. They are also good for many occasions- Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. I made them for my Halloween party this year and people raved about them.

Pecan Pie Pops

I made these earlier this week for my 2nd annual Halloween party and they turned out really cute. Ideally I would have liked to do pumpkin pies but you can only have so many pumpkin foods at one party.

5 Fun Halloween Costumes

Halloween is just around the corner, and I am really excited about dressing up. Yes, I am 23 and still wear a costume every Halloween. I am not a big fan of store bought costumes (I hate the way the fabric always feels) and I find that you can save a lot of money by checking out your local thrift store and making your own costumes. So, here are 5 of my favorite homemade costume ideas.
