Shari Hiller — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:33:09 +0000

The most important piece to this costume is the rat hat and the rest can be sweats or a T-shirt and shorts depending on the weather. You dirty rat!

Shari Hiller — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:13:44 +0000

This daffodil costume is adorable at Halloween but it can also be used for school plays and just dress up fun. This idea was born out of the blueberries or grapes costume idea because of the use of the sweat suit. So, if a child were to wear a green sweat suit, couldn’t they be...
