Both the guys were in dresses this year! Had to keep reminding them to watch how the sit at the party! It was fun to do this Flintstone costume but more fun to see how far my family will go.
His chest from Target and wig was left over from last year’s costume. Bambam was a woman’s house coat from the same store. I have to add a few darts to bring it in at the bust but again I didn’t use a pattern just grabbed a black sharpie cut a little bigger than I thought and started sewing making alterations and trying it on periodically.įred was an orange linen table cloth and his tie a pillow case.
BARNEY COSTUME CHEAP PLUS
I was a little more discriminating with this costume because even being plus sized, I still wanted it to be somewhat fitting. Wilmaįortunately I found the white semi-stretchy fabric in the clearance bin (it was upholstery fabric) and paid less than $3 for the white fabric and it was three yards! I used a piece of orange scrap to serve as interfacing to give the costume a finished look (which I now realize wasn’t necessary for a quasi-caveman!) I cut the black felt into various sized triangles and used some black thread to quickly stitch them onto the orange costume. Then, I pinned the sides and while it was inside out just drew where I thought the arm and neck holes should be sewn and went from there. I measured the chest and waist of my boyfriend and cut a front and back of the Fred costume. I then spent about $0.40 on the black felt and $0.25 on the blue scrap of felt for the tie. After using a coupon at a local fabric store it totaled almost $10 for two yards. The most expensive item was the orange fabric for Fred. Looking back on prior years I was able to fabricate my own versions of the Flintstone costume. I have to thank this website for the inspiration for these costumes. My mom actually made the little white pom pom on top of his hat but those could be bought pretty cheap! Luckily, I already had some orange shorts that were too long for him so I just cut them jagged at the bottom then hot glued the triangles to those and the hat. The Flintstone costume is so easy to make! I bought two sheets of black felt and when I babysat my nieces and nephews I let them cut out triangles (they loved the project!) I had to buy a hat and some Rit Dye because I couldn’t find an orange one his size. We practiced banging his bat on things and yelling “Bamm Bamm” weeks before Halloween! Making the Costume My friend has a little girl and we had originally planned on throwing a Halloween party my family was going to dress at the “Rubles” and her’s would have been the “Flintstones.” Unfortunately we didn’t have the party but I knew my son would make the perfect Bamm Bamm.
I chose Bamm Bamm months before Halloween because my son has the white hair just like Bamm Bamm and also shares his attitude! We had fun with this Flintstone costume theme. Flintstone Costume submitted by: Sheena R., Texarkana, TX
