Clark Kent Costume

PRESS PASS
I googled "Clark Kent Press Pass". I saved my favorite one to my computer. Then I took a picture of my son wearing the suit and glasses that he would be wearing for the costume. I used Picmonkey.com to place my son's picture over the picture of Clark Kent. I bought laminating stuff at Walmart ($5) and used a clip from an old name tag that I had.


I bought the glasses from Amazon.com ($5). The Superman tee shirt (with cape) was from Old Navy ($10). And the suit was from Burlington Coat Factory ($15).

For the newspaper I did it the same way I did the Press pass!

Mickey Mouse Birthday Party

Goodie Bags...
I bought small plain red and black gift bags then used my cricut machine to cut out black and pink mickeys.

Birthday Poster...
Made with my Cricut machine and my Mickey Mouse cartridges.

Pin The Nose On Mickey Mouse...
I hand drew the Mickey then used my Cricut to cut out the noses. I also wrote each kids name on a nose so we knew whose was whose when we played.

Birthday Tee Shirt...
I bought a plain white tee shirt from Target and bought a personalized iron on from an Etsy shop.

Pillsbury Doughboy Costume

The plain white chefs hat, the white pants, and the white shirt were all bought on Amazon.com. The shirt and pants were a set that cost about $6.99 the hat was around $5.99. I bought a piece of blue felt from Michaels (under $1) along with some white fabric paint (under $1) and made the Pillsbury logo then glued it onto the hat. He already had the white socks and for the scarf I used a piece of white scrap fabric that I had leftover from another project. VERY simple costume...so easy to put together... cost under $15 to make...and EVERYONE LOVED it!!

For his mini Trick-or-Treat bag I bought a small canvas bag from Michaels ($1) then used paint to make it look like a brownie box!
