We're not as far along as we should be in the Halloween costume creation department. I've pretty much made the executive decision that Susie
has to be a princess (because we have the dress - why else?); but Rachel fell in love with
this costume that I saw on Pinterest. It should be really easy to make, but the devil - as always - is in the details. Tell me, what shape balloons do I need to buy so that, when half-blown-up, they will resemble jelly beans? Round? Long? Does it matter? Because, really, I haven't the foggiest idea. I know I should just buy both and the heck with it - it will still be the cheapest costume ever. But, somehow, I've looked at balloons several times at Target and Michaels and still come home empty-handed.
Just tell me what to do, will you? I am being plagued by indecision here.

The water balloon size should work fine. They are small and pear shaped. Close enough! I'm sure that's what was used in the picture. Signed, a veteran of the water balloon wars.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing!
DeleteI love that costume! So fun. I think it'd more the overall affect and not the specific size/shape of the balloon. I wouldn't stress it. ;-)

What about that big Jelly Belly decal? How are you not wondering where to find that?
ReplyDeleteDavid copied the image of the logo into a word doc and then I emailed it to someone with a color printer. Where there's a will, there's a way...
DeleteBut that is one COOL costume idea! (Until she sits down...)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great costume! My thought is that if it is Oct 30, it doesn't matter what shape the balloons are.
ReplyDeleteThat's fun! I would go with the water balloons, too.
ReplyDeletePrincess could also be made scary with makeup, or accessorized with something weird (like the way Repunzel carried a frying pan in Tangled).
No! I HATE scary! Scary costumes are banned in our house. Just another issue for the kids to hold against me when they are grown...
