Kid Costume Idea: Gnomes!

Do you have Halloween on the brain? One of my current kid costume obsessions is GNOMES! How adorable!? And, the best part is that these can be made fairly simply.

For the BOYS:

* bright blue shirt + blue or brown pants

* over-sized belt or suspenders

* bright red hat + beard (here's a greattutorial on how to transform a large red shirt into a hat and how to make a nice felt beard. Here's another beard tutorial if you're looking for something a bit more complex... Also, consider attaching the beard to the inside of the hat so it doesn't fall off)

* rain boots or clogs

* fun prop idea: perhaps add a kid-sized gardening tool

For the GIRLS:

* red skirt & a fun "garden-pattern" shirt

* bright red hat (see tutorial above)

* red suspenders (use remnants from hat material)

* rain boots or clogs (add fun stockings)

* fun prop idea: perhaps add a giant fake flower
