Egg-cellent Fried Egg Costume by My Poppet

Cintia of My Poppet put together this extremely creative fried egg costume that is sure to be a huge hit this Halloween! In addition to the adorable nature of this costume, this tutorial is also well thought out and very thorough. To give the yolk depth, for example, Cintia suggests that you can add a small amount of batting. Great idea! A few of my picks from the store:

In my household there is no age limit for who can dress up for Halloween. Kelly of Studio DIY has several adult-friendly costume DIYs that are perfect for those who don't have a lot of time to put something together, but still want to participate in the dress up fun.

Capes are great for Halloween because depending on the color fabric that you choose, your little one can become a whole new super hero. Batman, Superman, or maybe your little ones want to come up with their own super heros! This cape sewing tutorial by Lara of How Does She is so simple to make that you'll want to sew it up again and again. As an added bonus, you could even use two different colors to create a double sided cape. A few of my picks from the store:
