iPhone! This costume was pulled together in less than 15 minutes!
Black fabric straps and a 2 thick black boards are about the only thing you won't have on hand. I found an AWESOME site that has all of the icons already perfectly sized and ready for printing! Because it was going to be on TV, I did not laminate the icons BUT in case if rain for trick-or-treating, I would laminate because one drop of water can ruin these pictures.

Macaroni and Cheese: Click here to see the inspiration behind this costume! Since this was a last minute idea, we didn't have time to save enough toilet paper or paper towel rolls so we used pipe insulation instead! At a little over $1 for 6 foot section, this was a thrifty way to go! For the fork, we used foil tape because it was already sticky and seemed a bit stronger than regular tin foil but tin foil would work too!
The Aquarium: we used inspirations from a couple of sites for this one and then just winged it a bit. We also would have used the blue tinted cellophane if we were not going to be on camera. It was too shiny though for the studio lights. We added in some lights we bought at the Dollar Store and mounted them with Velcro for the under hood lighting. And he is carrying a tackle box for his candy collection.

Peacock
Our peacock princess, Peyton looked divine and we were inspired by THIS costume.
We pieced it together with an outfit from target, some silver shoes, a tulle skirt that we made and last, her peacock feathers. They are much more simple than they look. After much investigation we used this as our inspiration costume. Click here!
Emma rocked out her Laundry Basket costume. This was no chore to make either. Give up laundry for a week by cutting a hole in the base of a basket and duct tape in your clothing!

Scuba
Joey was our Deep Sea Dude in a costume that couldn't be beat. Everything was on hand, it just took us a minute to look around and locate what we needed. Silver spray paint over some soda bottles, black tubing from an old air pump and some ingenuity for a weighted diver vest.
