Book Character Day

I finally uploaded my pictures from the past month onto the computer and realized I didn't show you our costumes from Book Character Day.  (Now hopefully my computer doesn't crash as it's been acting up lately!)

Here we have....Gandalf, Blabbermouth, and  Princess Rachel !

I spent the most time on the Gandalf costume.  The only thing I bought was a brown curtain for the cape!  I just cut it to the right length and put a tie through the casing at the top.  For the robe I used a fabric I had in my stash that's pretty heavy and doesn't really fray.  Lukas made the beard using this tutorial.  The hat is based on this tutorial except I used the plastic from a crazy carpet sled for the brim :)
Close up of the hat.  Definitely the hardest part but I'm happy with the result and Lukas was very, very pleased!

  3. Oh, Gandalf is fantastic, and how pretty is your princess! I got a pass this year as I only have one in Kindergarten and it didn't fall on her day at school, but I know now what's expected of me :)
