Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I hope to make this a fun memory for my little guy. <br />One of my most favorite things my parents ever did for me was by helping me become something or someone else each Halloween. Not just a store bought last second idea.

I made the head out of a huge balloon tissue paper glue then pop the balloon once it is all dry. I also did up a Pinyata with a trap door so i can reuse it. I am now working on the train for my great nephew and I to go out and do the Halloween thing a favour to his gramma. I have always been the crafty one in the family so they all call on me to make things. I amaze myself even. Thanks for your ideas this has turned out to be the best one yet for me.

I was searching for Sir Topham Hatt costumes and came across your blog. I got the outfit in pieces from random thrift stores and found a yellow, woman's blouse, size small and altered it the same way you described. He looked so sharp and we got many compliments on it!EthansMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075838077821908158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079506540232811585.post-87292390200865010482011-10-12T09:26:39.324-05:002011-10-12T09:26:39.324-05:00Thanks!!

I think it's done in white just so you can see the outline on a black coat in the cartoon, however, that would have been a great place to add some reflective material too! ;-)Gretchen Fleenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368015351833417912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079506540232811585.post-10036755034869207092010-11-02T00:17:24.542-05:002010-11-02T00:17:24.542-05:00That is awesome!

I whipped up a last minute James the train costume (didn't have enough blue fleece left in my stash to do Thomas) during naptime after he refused to wear a handmedown monkey outfit... James was a bit rough around the edges but made the little guy happy- Am saving your post for inspiration for next year!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905954521328547537noreply@blogger.com
