 Who Ya Gonna Call?

Halloween time means costumes and every year I get to wear a couple of different ones! For our annual Halloween party we wanted to do something comfortable and easy since it is still in the 90’s here! We decided on doing an adaptation of the classic Ghostbusters uniforms. Instead of doing full jumpsuits we wore shirts and shorts/capris, again it is in the high 90’s here! I found khaki shirts at my favorite thrift store and used some iron on transfer paper that I printed out our names and the Ghostbuster logo on. Our costumes were done in no time, but we still needed proton pack! These were going to be a little more challenging since we wanted to keep it simple and we were short on time. Instead of creating an actual proton pack we decided on doing a simplistic box version. I picked up some priority boxes from the nearby post office and printed out four copies of an oversize picture of a proton pack.

I put together the four boxes leaving one flap unsealed and spray painted them white.

 I then followed the same process as I did with the Yosemite Picture I did several months ago, but instead of modepodge I used spray glue. I sprayed a little glue and laid the first piece of the picture in place and moved on until all four pictures were on.

I then folded and glued down the sides.

The day of the party we cut out a small hole where the proton pack light is and covered it with red tissue paper (on the inside) and placed a small LED light inside the pack.

We cut small holes to poke the ribbon straps into, knotted them and place tape to hold them in place. Next we cut holes also into the back to put the tube of our camel packs through and finished the packs with ribbons for the straps. They came out so cool and under $12 each, the camel packs were $10.

Duffey got to be our Slimmer and her costume was made with green fleece and foam cut outs. I didn’t want to be mean and make her a real costume since it was so warm so she got more of a cape.  I cut out the same of the cape and added cut out eyes and mouth, and cut out a hole for her head and added elastic to hold it in place around her tummy. It looked more like Slimmer ate Duffey, but was still cute.
So who are you gonna call? ​​
