This year, time constraints and other crazy life things make it not so possible to attempt such a feat, but I've found a pretty great substitute. The line of kids' costumes from Pure Play Kids are as close to homemade as you can get--because they are. From the train engineer costume and construction worker costume to queen and princess, each one is handmade with kid-safe, environmentally-friendly materials.
I love how timeless everything is--no trendy cartoon characters. And at just about $20 per costume, they're affordable.
It only takes a week to get your order (including the personalized cape and mask sets) and let me just say, I guarantee it would take me longer than that just to make them myself. -Lexi
