It’s almost Halloween!
Today we decided to do something fun and make our own Amazon Prime Boxtumes! Growing up my mom always made our costumes. Hers were elaborately sewn costumes that took months to construct… But I was not gifted with the ability to sew or ability to plan that far ahead 🤣. BUT I do have an addiction to Amazon shopping, leaving me with mots of boxes, and lots of art supplies!
Marlow’s came up with idea for a Rainbow! And Maddox decided he wanted to be a storm. So we made lightenting bolt for him and tiny cloud for Maclan. These costumes were a blast to make, super easy to put together, and included things I found around the house.
