DIY: Breakfast Inspired Halloween Costumes!
It’s crunch time - what to dress up as for Halloween? We always opt for breakfast inspired costumes, here are a few of our favorite ideas for easy DIY Halloween costumes.
French Toast - This cute costume idea is a great little play on words and is very easy to throw together! First, find a striped, boat-neck shirt, a beret and perhaps a little red scarf for your neck. Then create your “toast” by using brown and yellow poster-board to create the bread and butter. Use string to tie around your neck and...Voila! French Toast!
Bacon and Eggs - This breakfast-y costume is sure to make everyone’s mouth water! Head to a fabric or craft store to get large pieces of felt - white and yellow for the egg, and red and white for the bacon. Cut appropriate bacon and egg shapes for your front and back. Either glue or sew pieces together for this complete breakfast look! And to add a little fun, the “egg” can add devil accessories to become a “Deviled Egg” and the “bacon” can add a “Kevin” name tag to become “Kevin Bacon!”
Breakfast of Champions: Choose your favorite breakfast item - perhaps a waffle, maybe eggs and bacon, or a stack of pancakes. Create your favorite breakfast item costume using a large piece of felt or poster board for each side of your body. Then, visit the dollar store or craft store to find some ribbons or perhaps a small trophy to carry around as a prop and you are “Breakfast of Champions!”
