Today Shaun and I looked online for costume idea's. He wanted to be Michael Meyers but decided on Jason instead. We looked at pictures and came up with a game plan. We headed out to make the costume.
6.49 for a jacket at Goodwill
5.00 for knife
2.00 for mask at Walmart
some hand-me-down pants
and a lot of fun tearing up our purchases.
Shaun put on the jacket and slide across the wet trampoline.We dragged it around the firepit to put more black marks on it. Then laid it in the gravel drive and drove over it a few dozen times... this was the funnest part :) We then took it to the basement and with Shaun standing back I took a serrated knife and cut, scratched and mutilated the jacket and pants. We completed the look with an old knit top of mine that had some holes in it.
As we looked over the costume we felt pretty good but the clothes part seems so gross and dirty like the character but the mask was bright white and brand new. So back to drive way we went smooshing and scraping it in the gravel and dirt. The final product was an old used looking hockey mask and a great big smile on my little ones face. Yes I know how weird that sounds but he was so proud of helping to make his costume and thought i was crazy for running over it with the car!
