HAPPY HALLOWEEN: Black Widow outfit DIY

Since Halloween is on a Thursday this year we celebrated early this past weekend. The theme was Superheros. I have to admit it was pretty damn cool. While we were all waiting in the dining room for the rest of the group, it looked like a crossover episode with all the heroes;  discussing how to save the world over dinner.

THE HEROES

THE AVENGERS minus Hulk

Our friend's IRON MAN outfit is also a DIY! Isn't it super cool???

I chose to be Black Widow this year because I thought all black leather would be kicka$$! That and my husband is Captain America and if you are a Marvel nerd you know that Black Widow and Captain America will have a somewhat complex relationship.

Here are my inspirational photos

 It was very simple to do. All you need is:

Black Jumpsuit: Could use black leather pants/leggings with leather jacket.
Bullets: For bracelets and belt. Spray paint this black.
Leather Biker gloves
S.H.I.E.L.D patches: made out of foam and felt. Taped them onto suit.
Black Belt : Use old one and taped foam cutout onto belt.

 This took the longest time because I had to make sure it was cut correctly and looked equal.

Using foam I cut out the black widow symbol and taped it onto an old belt. 

These were my bullets- post black spray paint and used as part of my bracelet. 

Not sure if you can even see it but I even dyed my hair red for Halloween. I wish it came out more red! This is how intense I can be with Halloween. LOVE IT!

I just wish I was young enough to get some free candy!!!! 

TRICK OR TREAT!

Pumpkin lovin'

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and this year is our FIRST as a couple celebrating it together! OF COURSE we have to have matching outfits which I am in the process of making but that is for another future post.
In the past AKA Before Marley, the Mister has made our house into a non-doorbell ringing home which probably marked us to the neighborhood kids as a NO CANDY ZONE.
Last year NO ONE rang our doorbell!!!!  So this year our goal was to make our front yard as halloweenieeee as possible. We set up some decorations and motion activated monsters ( which scared the heck out of me so we left it on the OFF button until Halloween day!). 
We also made our very first pumpkins. 

Can you guess which is his and which is mine???

The idea of picking pumpkins and carving them is fun but when you're actually carving, it's REALLY HARD and sortof annoying. So much to clean up and it was pretty ugly when we started out so it was a bit discouraging but after seeing our artwork come together- we both ended up with great pumpkins!
Have a happy Pumpkin picking!
