Homemade Family Themed Halloween Costume Ideas for a Family of 3

The Flintstones

The Flintstones were a prehistoric family that dominated the airwaves back in the 60s and again in the 80s via syndication. Barney, Wilma, Fred, Betty, Pebbles and Bam Bam were loved by all and a great idea for a Halloween costume. This homemade costume requires a bit of skill, a sewing machine and a ton of colored fabric.

The Fairly Oddparents

The Fairly Oddparents is a funny Nickelodeon show about a kid named Timmy who happens to have two fairies that have his back and grant him wishes. This homemade Halloween costume idea requires little work. Recreate Timmy with a brown do, pink hat and t shirt and blue pants. To recreate Cosmo, you'll need a long sleeved white shirt, black tie, black slacks, a wand, tiny gold crown and a green do. For Wanda, you'll need a pink do, tiny gold crown, yellow t shirt, black pants and a wand.

Recreate Jane's look with a parted short red do, a purple dress with stiff white collar (this can be achieved by gluing cardboard to the back of the fabric) and purple tights. For Judy, you'll need a white do, red belly shirt with stiff collar, a red skirt, red tights and black flats. For Elroy, you'll need a blonde do, green overalls, a white t shirt and a green hat.
