Joaquin possesses a love for trains that Marco never really had at his age. So this year J wanted to be Thomas the Train. I just couldn't make myself pay $20 for a cheap Thomas tunic, so I decided to make one. I saw this idea on a crafty blog and just had to replicate it. Plus it was so easy to do, I ended up making a James costume as well. (James was actually easier to make because my apron was already red) FYI for anyone wanting to try this, I used the aprons you get free when you do the Lowe’s build and grow kid workshops.
Marco is just modeling James for the picture. He is actually going to be the black Spiderman this year. And yes, I did end up buying his costume ($12) because I figured trying to make it(mask and all) would have cost more. Plus, when they are 5 it is harder to convince them of your wonderful ideas. :)
These are adorable! They look better than the ones I've seen in stores.
