Freakin' Cute Frankenstein Halloween Costume
A no-sew costume any parent can make
By Ellen Goldberg, Parenting

You'll need:
- 1 yard green felt
- Fabric glue
- Silver-painted spools
- A scrap red felt
- Faux fur
- Black sweatpants
- Gray T-shirt
- Dark sports jacket
Hat: Cut a piece of green felt long enough to wrap around your child's head and 12 to 16 inches wide. Fold in half lengthwise so the hat is 6 to 8 inches tall; glue sides together to form a cylinder. Cut two more pieces of green felt about 6 inches wide and 8 inches long to create the neckpiece. Glue one strip to each side of the hat on the inside; glue silver spools in the middle of each piece for neck bolts (you'll tuck the ends inside his shirt or jacket). Cut a "scar" out of red felt, and glue to the hat. Place faux fur across the top, and glue in place around edges. Trim to desired style.
Body: Dress child in sweatpants, and cut jagged edges at the bottom. Top with T-shirt and jacket.

Very cute! My brother and I were nerds growing up, so one year we dressed up as George and Martha Washington. Little brother continued the trend of dressing up as famous presidents, while I veered off into Greek goddesses and fairies.
