A few months ago, I thought of the perfect costume for Hayden – Emmet from The Lego Movie. I read up on tutorials on how to make a Lego head costume that included spray paint, cement tubes, styrofoam, a hand saw….I’m sure it was really easy but I didn’t have enough time to put something like that together. Instead, when I spotted this Emmet hoodie at Kohl’s, I started thinking I could put something together that was really easy.
If you’re looking for a last minute costume for Halloween, snag this Emmet hoodie from Kohl’s and pair with a pair of orange pants.That’s it and he’s instantly recognizable as Emmet from The Lego Movie. We also decided to make the Piece of Resistance which was really easy to make. All we did was spray paint a box red and the top is actually the top of the red spray paint can! You could also fit the box somehow on backpack so he could carry it on his back while trick or treating.
When I saw WildStyle, I knew that this would be an easy costume for me! So Moms, if you’re looking for an EASY costume for Halloween, go as WildStyle. I already had some black yoga pants {who doesn’t} and bought a new black hoodie. You can find electric blue and hot pink duct tape anywhere – Target, Walgreens or Walmart. I also bought some pink and blue colored hair spray to complete the outfit.
I pulled up a picture of WildStyle and then got to work on creating the hoodie. The duct tape sticks to the jacket really well! I still have to add tape to my pants as the picture below was just a test run!
Such an easy costume – WildStyle’s costume cost me under $20 and you could get away with doing it for much cheaper if you already own a black hoodie! Now if only I could have the girls be UniKitty and Bad Kitty!
Which characters from The Lego Movie would you want to be?
This is adorable!! That movie has been a great place for costume inspiration this year!
LOVE this couple costume!! Such fun family idea.
What a great idea, love it! That would actually be perfect for me, since it’s so cold on Halloween AND it can be repurposed!
I’m all about doing things the easy way. His costume is perfect!
We may or may not have utilized a lot of duck tape in our costumes this year too!
Love it!! This looks great!
How fun is this!! I love everything about this Melissa! My friend’s daughter went as Wild Style this year!
We love the Lego movie, I always get the Awesome song stuck in my head and end up singing it for weeks. Great costume!
This is such a great Halloween costume and your son looks great in it. I think that you did a good job in keeping costs down for his costume. We like the Lego movie at our house.
Such a cute costume!
Oh. My. Goodness! This is very cool! Maybe I can get my kids to do this theme this year! How Fun!! 😀 Awesome job!!
I loved the movie, and this is adorable!
