Flapper Halloween Costumes
Last week we were able to have a little “dress rehearsal” for Halloween at Disneyworld’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. If you follow me on facebook, you may have seen the photo of us there last week.
Make your own Witches Hat Fascinator
Last week I guest blogged over at eighteen25 for their Spooktacluar September series… here’s my post in case you missed it!
Hello eighteen25 readers. My name is Melissa Mortenson and I blog over at The Polka Dot Chair. This is the 3rd year that I’ve had the privilege of contributing to Spooktacular September! I think I can consider it an annual tradition now!
Today I wanted to share with you this tutorial for making your own Witches Hat Fascinator.
Mr. Horseman & Mr. Crane
I could not convince my family ALL to match for Halloween this year (I know, I’m horrible… I always try to match the costumes). So the girls were Witches & the boys went as,
Icabod Crane & the Headless Horseman
I didn’t make my husbands costume. Just “refashioned” it from some previous costumes and cut off some pants he didn’t like. He found the hat at Disneyworld & we picked up a scarf at Target for him to wear.

Pin It
Okay,
Normally I don’t have Halloween costumes done until about 5 minutes before the trick or treaters arrive… but this year we were going to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party, so they had to be done early.
I was so proud of my kids this year, because they picked out EVERYTHING themselves and just gave me sewing instructions. I was amazed at the way they could pull fabrics together and the creativity they put into the design… much better than I would have come up with on my own.
A Quirky Crafter
Hello all! My name is Emily and I am Melissa’s little sister. Melissa has asked me to share a little bit about myself and tell you all the secrets of my kid’s quirky Halloween costumes.
Before we begin, take a moment to see them in action for the full effect:
