Trick or Treat Costumes Made by Nana -

I am a NOT a crafty nana, but I know some who are. Since this is October I thought it would be fun to take a look at kids Trick or Treat costumes made by nanas.

This adorable little guy is Kruz. Sounds like a motorcycle guy, doesn’t it? Proud mom, Jessica says, “My grandmother, Barbara Curry, made the chaps for Kruz’s 2nd Halloween in 2007. When I was a little girl, my grandmother made all my costumes… I was always dressed up as a cheerleader, so each year she used the same pattern, just a little bigger size.”

This cute butterfly is Martha. Martha’s mom, Char, said that the wings were made by Martha’s nana, Cheryl Booth, after Martha picked out the material. Nana also made Martha’s brother some blue wings but he was too busy playing to have his picture made. According to Char, “Life has come full circle, I’m attaching a photo of me and my siblings from 1980. It’s not the best picture, but my sister and I were butterflies… (I’m the one in green, my sis in yellow) and my mom went ALL OUT with making those. I have such good memories of that Halloween – the wings were HUGE and we loved, loved, loved them! They had batting and were quilted and we even had little finger loops, so we could spread the wings wide and FLY! I wish we still had those wings…

Char also says, “I’m attaching some photos of Samuel when he was 2… my mother-in-law (Faye Huskins) made this adorable costume for Samuel. He has a stuffed Tiger named Bob that is his most prized possession in all the world (and his best friend), so she made him a “Bob” costume. We still have it and Martha wears it now for fun.

Aren’t these nanas crafty? And aren’t these little trick or treaters cutie pies? I just love watching kids play dress up!
