Keeping it Simple: Halloween 2012- Lego Style!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Halloween last night!? We had a ton of fun!? And now I finally get to show off our costumes that I made.? We went as Legos!? Since I like to do a family theme, I knew that this was something that my boys would agree on and my two younger wouldn?t mind.? Through the process I was really nervous about how they were looking, but in the end I think they turned out pretty good!

Me and my husband.? I just was a girl and my husband was a robber.? By this time, his costume had broken, oops.? For my head I glued on a ton of yarn for the hair and then decorated the body with sparkly vinyl for the necklace.? For my husband I used paint to make the ?beard? and then a beanie for the hat.?

The fire fighter, I love vinyl and how easy it is to use!? I just made a badge for him.? He the top part of his head, I used a bowl and spray painted it yellow.?

The police man.? I did the same thing as my older son?s costume.? He wanted yellow hands, so I spray painted some white gloves because I couldn?t find yellow ones anywhere.?

The yellow Lego.? I just took a square box, cut some holes for his head and arms.? For the circles, I used a cardboard tube that I vinyl in.? I of course had to add the Lego word on each circle.?

The blue Lego, I did the same thing are the yellow one.? This is actually a wipe box, it was perfect size for her.? The circles are also from cardboard tubes that I get vinyl in.

It took a lot of time and patience and a whole lot of spray paint.? Cardboard soaks up the spray paint, so I put a layer of acrylic paint on first and then spray painted it.? I just used clear tape to tape the cardboard together and the hot glue to glue on the circles.?

Wondering how I made the heads?? I took an 8? cardboard tube and cut it to the right lengths and then cut eye holes.? I found it at the home improvement store with the concrete.? That?s what it?s supposed to be used for.? I only needed one for the four of us!

I would love it if you follow along!
