At the beginning of the week, I asked Chris if he wanted to recycle a costume from previous years because I really hadn't planned anything for this year. Of course he said he didn't care, so I thought I would do a quick Google search on easy DIY couples costumes... Remember, we don't have a Wal-Mart just down the street, so I had to keep in mind that I needed to find an idea that I could do with what supplies we had here in town. Challenge accepted!!
Back up for a second... Also at the beginning of the week, we had just gotten back from a trip to see the kids in Malaysia. We had someone, a guy, stay at the house while we were gone... Monday, I got a call from the guy asking if I would give his loofa to another guy who was dropping something off at our house. "What the heck is a loofa?" I ask!!! "You know... one of those shower sponge things." Really?!?! I had never heard that word before! Those shower spongy thingys really have a name?!?!
So as I was looking for "easy" DIY costumes, sure enough, I come across a box of soap and a LOOFA!! How fitting! Now the next question is, do I have the supplies to make those two things???
I go back to Uncle Google to see if there are instructions on how to make a Loofa... Of course there is! Do I have enough tulle fabric???? Of course I do.... I only have to raid the Ladies Christmas Gift Exchange decorations. :D
It's now Thursday and I finally get started on the "soap" for Chris. It took me all day, and a couple trips back and forth to school, but I got it finished. In honor of the soap Chris uses...
Friday, I didn't have any time to do my costume, because I had to do the girls hair... So I didn't start my costume until Saturday morning... The party is that NIGHT!!!
Needless to say, I didn't go to the party naked... ;)
Here's the final product... Yah, we were smoking!! Or was it sudsing? LOL! ;)
Loofa, Half of a PB&J Sandwich, and Piñata
The full sandwich....
Me and Cat2. She lives in the wrong era... ;)
All and all, not bad for a two day project. I am now a professional Loofa maker! Add that to the list of things I have learned over here... ;D
