It was my brother's 30th birthday recently and his party was an "Under the Sea" theme. This suited my brother perfectly as since he was tiny he was in love with all things to do with the sea. While most kids were watching Play School we were watching the Jaws movies! (of course we watched play school too).
Being pregnant, busy with life and having been away a bit lately left me wondering what on earth we were going to do it fit in with the theme. The lazy person I am I had decided to not worry about dressing up, but at the last minute I had an idea.
This is what I came up with for the girls to wear:
It did not require much effort at all and was created in ten minutes.
I bought 2 packs of black knee high stockings (Pairs and Spares around $4 a pack), a $3 pack of safety pins and a newspaper.
I rolled up a piece of newspaper and inserted it into 6 stockings (12 to make two costumes) and then added a safety pin to each.
When it came time to dress the girls I pinned the stocking into their clothes and placed a stocking on each of their arms.
They surprisingly left their "tentacles" on for the while time we were there and were excited to be able to "wave their arms like Henry" This is a Wiggles thing for those who are lucky enough to not know what I am talking about there.
Anyway, it is not the most amazing thing I have ever created but it was easy and I thought you might be able to use this idea in the future.
