Meet The Flintstones

You guessed it…last year’s costumes. And I just realized this is the first time my face is in a picture on my blog. And no…that isn’t my real hair color! Guess the secret is out, huh?! I thought I would share how I quickly (and inexpensively) put these The Flintstones Family costumes together:

Isn’t Fred a good sport? For this costume I used 2 oversized orange polo shirts from Wal-Mart. I cut a sponge and used fabric paint for the print. First, I cut the sleeves off. Then I cut just below the arms on the 2nd shirt to add length to first shirt. See below for full length picture. The tie is actually a fleece scarf (also from Wal-Mart) that I cut to give it a more ragged feel.

The Wilma necklace was made from felt “rocks” attached to white ribbon. But the dress is store bought (can you tell I was running out of time?).

We couldn’t be The Flintstones without a Dino, right? I sketched a Dino pattern and cut him out of felt (and the Ribbon Bracelet was born).

Then I used a green t-shirt in the young girls section. Therefore, this meant I had enough fabric to turn it into a baby’s dress. I also used my sponge to create the pattern on her dress. Finally, Pebbles’ bone was made out of felt and attached to a white hairband.

I mean…how cute is my little Pebbles?

Finally, here is the full length shot! And there you have it….hope you have a Yabba Dabba Do Time this Halloween!!!
