This post is not sponsored, but affiliate links are used for your convenience. Thank you! :)

Good morning! Last week my college aged son sent me a message & wanted to know if I could help make him & his friend matching Halloween costumes. Of course, I was so willing to help out! It’s kind of my specialty. haha! He sent me a picture of something he had found online ~ a Bob Ross & Happy Trees costume. (So, this idea is totally not original, but too cute not to share!) I’m sharing the Cricut cut files for the Happy Trees t-shirt & for the paint palette plus where we found the perfect Bob Ross wig. So, let’s get started! :) (Oh! Annnnd I have links to tons of other DIY Halloween costume ideas, too!) :)

9 Easy DIY Halloween Costumes + Two Spooky Recipes with TruMoo Orange Scream

This post is brought to you by TruMoo.

Hello! It’s almost Halloween! Eek! So today let’s talk about Halloween traditions. We have a few. ;) How about you? ;) Since we moved into our neighborhood about 8 years ago Halloween has become one of our favorite holidays. We have the best neighborhood (in my opinion!) for Halloween. We get tons of ghost & goblins to our door. Neighbors host spook houses in their garages, hayrides through the streets & everyone decorates their houses & yards from top to bottom with spooky Halloween decorations. Our neighbors across the street even turned their front yard into a graveyard one year. Spooky! Before my kiddos head out the door to go trick or treating we always have a spooky Halloween meal. TruMoo Orange Scream would be the perfect addition to any Halloween meal or to add color to a favorite Halloween recipe. After we eat my kiddos head off to do a little trick or treating in usually a homemade costume made by yours truly. So I’ve scoured this blog & our family blog to bring you 9 Easy DIY Halloween Costumes from over the years. I’m also sharing 2 recipes with TruMoo Orange Scream. So let’s get started! :)

Then everyone was excited about trick or treating except my little man!  He didn’t want anything to do with his costume UNTIL he started to help hand out candy to all the neighborhood kids.  Then he put two & two together.  He’s a smartie!

COSTUME = LOTS OF CANDY :)

fa-boo-lous friday {halloween t-shirt tutorial, features & link up}

Welcome to
 
Fa-boo-lous Friday!
 
 
IMG_0827
 
First up, here’s how I made our
 
SpOokY Halloween T-Shirts!
 
 
IMG_0716 IMG_0717 IMG_0718 IMG_0719
 
First, I cut some fun Halloween vinyl using my Silhouette & Silhouette clip art.
Then I applied the vinyl to the shirt.  You need to make sure you don’t have any air
pockets around your edges & that all your edges are lying down nice & smooth.
Then take a stencil brush & pat your paint on.  No, back & forth.  Just tap, tap, tap! :)
 
IMG_0721 IMG_0723 IMG_0724 IMG_0815
 
It took me several coats of paint.  Especially for the black shirts. 
TIP:  Make sure you put a piece of cardboard
between the front of the shirt & the back of the shirt.
Some of your paint will bleed through, so you don’t want that to happen!
After your paint is completely dried, remove your vinyl.  That easy!  Boo! :)
