Seasonal C.R.A.F.T. #4: Fred and Wilma

November 2, 2010 By Jamie Dorobek 79 Comments

Although Halloween is over, you just never know when you might need to Wilma costume!
 
I put together an easy DIY Adult Costume post, and mentioned making another Hobby Lobby T-shirt Dress… Talk about simple sewing!
 
Without further ado…
DIY Fred and Wilma Flintstone for a grand total of $15:

This is our cartoon pose!
 
I found the Fred costume at Good Will for $5.00. Which is why I decided to make a Wilma.
 
Materials:
  • White 3XL T-shirt from Hobby Lobby (1/2 price=$3)
  • sewing machine
  • 2 inch Styrofoam balls (1/2 price =$2)
  • orange hair spray ($3)

I put the t-shirt on inside out and pinned up the sides to fit properly. Sewed 2 lines up the side of the t-shirt. Then I cut the neck off to make a one shoulder dress. I left all the edges raw. This took about 15 minutes. The necklace was just as simple. I used an ice pick to punch a hole threw the 2 inch styrofoam ball, and then strung them with a piece of string.

A tourist and a sailor… You can’t see his orange Croc’s but the whole thing was pretty entertaining, and his old school camera actually worked!

Happy Halloween!

    This is such a cute and easy idea! I should really get into making my own and my kids costumes. My mom used to do it for me when I was little, but I’m not to sure with my way around a sewing machine. I can hand stitch though so I got that going for me. Thank you so much for sharing with us at #ThrowbackThursday we hope to see you again this week!
