adventure time halloween costumes!

This year for halloween we dressed up as a family as characters from the MATHMATICAL show Adventure Time. If ya haven't seen it, watch it like now (on Cartoon Network)! Mady loves the show & we love to watch it with her! Mady was Finn, Jason was Jake the dog, & I was Marceline the Vampire Queen. I put the costumes together myself and even made the axe bass for my costume. Here is a rundown of what you would need for the costumes.

Marceline:

*Grey tank top (I got mine @ A&F)
*Dark skinny jeans (I got mine @ HcO)
*Boots (suppose to be red, but I couldn't find any cheap enough so I went with brown, which she did wear in one episode)
*Vampire teeth (I got the ones you fit in by Dracula House Sexy Bites)
*Long black wig (locally purchased at performance studios)
*Axe Bass (see tutorial a few posts back)
*red liner to make bite marks on neck

Jake:

We went simple for Jason because he didn't wanna go out all out.

* jake face tee from Hot Topic
*jake Laplander hat from Hot Topic
*dark boot cut jeans

Finn:

* light blue tee (I found one for $3 on Hanes.com in a 4T -- they have larger sizes of course)
*dark blue shorts (also Hanes.com -- variety of sizes & around $4)
* put some white rights on her in case it got chilly with socks (since Finn wears socks)
*plain black slip on shoes (we got ours at Walmart for $5)
*adventure time Finn's sword (official merchandise from Target, $19)
*Finn's hat -- Hot Topic, $20
*green backpack (found on amazon for $8) -- looks the same and didn't pay $40 for the licensed product

All in all we paid around $120 for all of the costume material for all of us. The costumes were a hit everywhere we went, which included Ghouls at Grassmere at the Nashville Zoo & a street party on the square in Lebanon. We felt like celebrities because all the other kids wanted pics with all of us & the adults too!


Another great Halloween!! <3
