Win Halloween with a Campfire Family Costume

Thermos Halloween Costume

Becky Luigart-Stayner

Show off your love for vintage items with this easy-to-assemble costume. Download a plaid pattern, or take a photo of a plaid thermos pattern. Have the pattern printed on 48-inch-wide by 36-inch-tall poster paper at your local printer or UPS store. Wrap yourself in the paper “sleeve,” which you can secure with tape. Using a hole-punch, cut holes at the top of the poster to thread sturdy ribbon. Hot glue a red thermos lid to a headband. Carry a thermos with your favorite hot beverage.

Is there such a thing? There is now! Start with a white dress. (Tip: Seek out used flower girl dresses on eBay or Facebook Marketplace.) Add a band of tan velvet ribbon and a DIY cardboard or felt “graham cracker” at the waist. Add brown felt “chocolate bars” to the shoes. Find a stick from the yard and add a marshmallow for the fairy wand. Cut out wings from cardboard; add graham-cracker like dots and dotted-line (perforations) using a dark brown marker. Construct a complete “s’more” with felt; secure to headband with thread or hot-glue. Pair costume with a vintage Campfire Marshmallows tin repurposed as a trick-or-treating bucket.
