• An adorable gnome, found at…

Halloween seems to bring out the Star Wars Geek in all of us, and with the new Clone Wars series, all the kids have rediscovered it as well. So classic or the new animated series, or even (shudder) Eps 1-3, we should totally have a Star Wars Halloween!

To start off, Heather brings us this adorable stormtrooper she made last halloween.  For info on making this yourself, see the bottom of this post…

Another really cool one that I found turned out to be by Sarah at Craft Critique. How cool is this R2 D2 (Using an…

I’ve been posting cute kids costumes over at the Dabbled Facebook page, and inviting readers to join in, and Lisa posted this one. I thought it was so cute we just had to share it with everyone.

Lisa made this Garbage Man/Truck costume, and I think she did an awesome job. As she points out, the same principles could be used for a fire truck (with fireman costume), tow truck, or whatever your little boy would like!

According to Lisa, she made this with: Two cardboard boxes, six paper plates, some paint and some…

I’ll have more pics from this weekend’s halloween party later, but here’s a few halloween costumes that I had to show off. You have some cool ones you wore? Post links in the comments!

Plus, as you fans of Dr. Horrible would know, it’s kinda awkward when Penny invites both Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible, and they both show up.. I knew that Chad would be coming as Dr. Horrible, I didn’t even realize my friend John was coming as Captain Hammer… made my Penny costume even better. The handy hubby made my ‘gun shrapnel’ which was held to my chest by…

Dabbler Jen Straw of Pittsburgh PA sent this in, and I love it! The Wobbegong shark was her son’s absolute favorite shark in the universe, so she designed and made this costume for him. Don’t know what a Wobbegong is? See the little pic of a real Wobbegong cruising the coral reefs of Australia. She explains how she did it below.

Jen Says: “I made it from some scrap fleece, and painted it with non-toxic tempera paints. Most of it was machine stitched, though the face part was hand stitched, and I included the plastic head frame from a child’s batting helmet…

Tip Junkie was looking for some great couples costumes ideas, and I knew I had some good ones in my archive of pictures. So here are some inspirations!

The Crocodile Hunter and Terri. Tasteless, but funny! And topical at the time.. Notice Terri has a bunch of sting rays she has gotten revenge on.

Duck Duck Goose. This was a Trio Costume, but could easily be a couple. The ducks are cheep from Oriental Trading Co.

Sumos! (Storebought, but hilarious (full view of similar one here)!)

This is one of the funniest, but I don’t have a good one of them together (ignore the…
