It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a dinosaur?
Halloween is just around the corner and the overpriced costume catalogs are rolling in. As I do not own a sewing machine, I of course will be buying. Personally I am hoping to acquire something affordable, easy to get on and off, reusable and without any pink or glitter. Easier said than done right? Or is it?
You know, I never even considered a cape
costume until I saw this clever little creation by Pip and Bean. Their Etsy shop sports capes
of various concepts, but the coolest by far is this adorable dinosaur cape. This inspired little
creation even has "3D" spikes that actually stick up down the back- fun!
And don't worry mama, they are made of felt, so no one's getting hurt.
Boy and girl friendly and color customizable, it's a great no-fuss Halloween costume for those looking to keep it light, simple and under $50.

can certainly see us getting lots of mileage out of this one far beyond
October 31; a sign of any great costume. - Stephanie

I absolutely love Halloween. I look forward to it all year. I can't wait to see my 5 year old granddaughter dressed up and going door to door. Thanks for this post. It's helping me get even more excited!
This was a very close #2 for my son's costume this year. I LOVE Etsy for Halloween. In fact, I just posted on 20 lovely Etsy costumes priced $14 - $49 here: http://www.modernparentsmessykids.com/2011/10/handmade-halloween-etsy-costume-roundup.html
