No Bones about it, this Halloween Costume is Easy and CUTE!

AHHH, Fall. My very favorite time of year. Although in Florida Fall can still feel like summer I wholeheartedly embrace even the smallest drop in temperature. A low in the 60's can even prompt me to break out the boots!! But I digress....

Fall is home to my most favorite holiday.... HALLOWEEN! I loved it when my kids were small and still do to this day. When my boys were younger choosing the right costume was always a production. The focus was always finding a costume that was comfortable, which wasn't always easy. And neither of my boys liked wearing masks. They would complain about being hot and not able to see anything. That's how the skeleton costume came to be. It was easy, cheap and best of all could be used long after Halloween was over.
My little skeleton

 All you need is:
a cheap black sweatsuit
white contact paper
gloves (optional) I picked mine up at the dollar store :)
face paint (optional) He wore face paint trick or treating but NOT to parties

Spread out your contact paper and draw out a variety of bones. I looked at a picture of a skeleton to kind of guide me. Cut out bones, lay out on sweatsuit. When you are happy with the way it looks peel and stick. Add gloves if you want and face paint. You could even buy a skeleton mask if your child will wear it. After Halloween peel off bones and now you have some warm and comfy play clothes :)




BOO!!!
HAPPY FALL YA'LL
