My little strong man...


My buddy Vickie Howell has just launched a new bi-monthly column over at PBS Parents! It's called Craft Apparent, and this month, it features four completely awesome baby Halloween costume ideas that go easy on your budget as well as your time and skill level!

Baby Quinn was asked to be a model for one of the costumes... Baby Strong Man...

I love that all the costumes featured in the column start with a plain white onesie. This one was dyed with coffee for the 'skin tone' effect! A little embroidery floss for the fake chest hair, some glitter cheetah fabric, felt, yarn, and fabric paint for the barbell and bing-bang-boom - baby strong man!


Getting a mustache on Mr. Man turned out to be a bit of a challenge, but we worked as a team and figured it out!


Head on over to PBS Parents to check out the rest of the costumes, you'll be glad you did!
