I wanted Garrett to be "The Wizard Of Oz" Scarecrow for Halloween. But, as I was looking on the internet to purchase one, I kept thinking to myself, "I can totally make this, and it would probably be a lot cheaper!" All I really needed was an old pair of pants, an old shirt, and patches, right?
Off to D.I.!! I found an olive color pullover (perfect!) for $2.00! And, at Wal*Mart, I found brown sweatpants (another score!) for $3.00!
Thank goodness Linda keeps all of her left over fabric scraps! I rummaged through her collection and cut out patches-and I didn't even have to sew! I hot-glued them on! I also managed to glue on raffia ($3.00) to make the "straw" effect!
With LOTS of glue gun blisters later....A $8 costume vs. a $26 costume was well worth it!
TA-DUM!! :)

I think Garrett will make one cute scarecrow! :) I can't wait for Halloween to get the full-effect!

Well isn't that just the cutest thing EVER?!! Check you out!! You should make my kids costumes too. =) Garrett will be adorable!
Way to go! That costume is so cute, and that's awesome that you were able to make it for so cheap. I agree, costumes cost way too much. Can't wait to see the pictures of him in it!
