I've already mentioned in previous posts that this is the year of the Star Wars theme for Halloween. My 4 and 5 year olds are pretty infatuated with Star Wars for the moment. Resolved to plan ahead rather than wait till the last moment and scrounge for costumes, I have been piecing together items to create the perfect Luke and Leia! I spent $6 on Amazon for an angel costume for Leia, 50 cents on a silver belt, and everything else was stuff I had on hand.
Check out the individual posts I did on ideas for Luke and the one I did for Leia.Perfect Princess Leia Hair: Sock buns to the rescue! Here's how...
 |
| Luke's boots: strips of felt |
 |
Old karate top, tan pants, belt, lightsaber, brown shoes and
brown felt wrapped around the legs to create boots. |
 |
Angel costume minus the halo and wings, silver belt, silver shoes,
and sock buns (the only accessory you really need!) |
 |
The cutest little Ewok ever! An old monkey costume was the perfect start.
All I added was a piece of felt, cut to reveal the ears and face. |
