Captain America: WWII Style

For trick or treating this year I decided the warmest options would be Captain America and more specifically the outfit he wears when he fights in WWII. 

The shield I made out of the cardboard box our futon came in and attached it to book bag I found at Walgreens for about $3

Next I ordered a navy blue shirt and a leather jacket (which I needed for the Fall anyway) and got a pair of mens khaki's. I painted the shirt to resemble Captain Americas top.

Last was the helmet. I had to hunt for that but after weeks of looking I found the perfect helmet in a costume store spray painted it blue and added a white "A" and my costume was complete.

I got to be Captain America and I stayed warm while trick or treating with my godbabies.

Fun With Aunty Leni !

My boyfriend has two nieces and they both LOVE to do arts and crafts with me. So I have to think of new crafts and fun things for them to do. (You can only draw pictures so many times before it gets old) Strolling through the kids section in various stores I found a few plain pieces and decided I found my next craft for them. 

 First I found this dress for the oldest, Arielle, seeing as she wants to be an artist someday I figure she should look the part. lol

The next project I did with both girls and their cousin. I bought plain black skirts and paint one detail for each of them myself then told them to go WILD.

Wonder Woman Part II....

One day 

while I was babysitting  my boyfriends nieces the youngest one, Aliyna, decided she wanted to play dress up. Well unlike most people my age I have a bag of dress up stuff, old costumes from halloween and things I used when I worked in retail during the Fall months. She was instanly obsessed with my old wonder woman costume I made myself a couple years ago. So we safety pinned and tie the top and the belt on her and she insisted on wearing my boots (a size 8, shes 4 years old) 

Mini Wonder Woman 

check the boots!

almost wardrobe malfunction...

handy tie work

The she took the Cleopatra dress I made and declared herself QUEEN OF THE SUPERHEROS !

So after a day of being Wonder Woman and wearing my costume to Bob Evans (including the boots) I told her if she was good i'd make her her very own Wonder Woman costume. 

Everything except the crown...

TaaDaaa! Mini Wonder Woman !

The she continued her "superhero training"

she was also hyped on cotton candy....
