I NEED IDEAS please!!!

Post by smray7 » Wed Sep 23, 2009 11:49 pm

I want to be a "tall drink of hot chocolate" for Halloween this year. What do you guys/girls suggest that I do for the costume? I'm doing this from scrape and I'm not a seamstress, so clothing ideas... anything is appreciated.

I would go to a hardware or building supply store and try to get a big cardboard tube that you could fit into. If they are too heavy or not wide enough to walk comfortably, just get a couple hoola hoops and make your own tube out of brown construction paper. Then you can decorate it with cloth or however you want.

yea, the old trusty card board would probably be your best bet :)
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Hi smray7
I would use 4 or 5 brown body pillowcases, sew, pin or staple them together then put cardboard inside them, then take a reg. pillowcase & glue or sew on fluff or pillow stuffing on top of it, cut out a place for your head & arms, make a handle with a brown tube sock stuffed with newpaper or stuffing. That might work? Witchy
