Guy Dressed in Black Costume With Huge Lemons
Last year, Mark and I pulled off Halloween costumes that were both last-minute and punny. {Win-win.}
We dressed up as the Black-Eyed Ps and gave out candy to the 5 kids trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. We even sat out in the street to lure them down our dead-end. Our costume was met with a look of confusion, right before the parent would go, "Ohhhh! I get it."
Because every good Halloween costume requires some brain power, right?
{Keep tellin' yourself that, Lauren.}
So, this year, we thought it would be fun to embrace the Punny Halloween Costume theme again, especially since we decided to throw a Costume Party!
So, I scoured my round-up from last year of 20 Punny Halloween Costumes…and boy were there some knee-slappers in the bunch. (I mean, the Cereal Killer? The Firefox? The Farmer in the Dell? Pretty stinkin' hilarious literal interpretations of the words.)
But I wanted something new, something fresh, something extra clever!
And here's what we came up with. Can you guess our puns?
That's right! He's "When Life Gives You Lemons!"
Now, mine is a bit harder. In factNO ONEwas able to guess mine. So extra credit points for anyone who can figure it out without scrolling down to the answer.
I'm "A Blessing in Disguise!" One probably only my punny Dad can figure out, but I'm okay with that.
The Quick How To:
I used my trusty dusty Silhouette machine to create the designs for the t-shirts. For Mark's, I used red heat-transfer vinyl {HTV vinyl tutorial HERE} and grabbed an image of the classic LIFE magazine logo for the design. For my shirt, I just used regular ole' vinyl since I wanted it to be removable {vinyl tutorial HERE}, and I created the design in the negative space of a circle using the font, Apple LiGothic.
The lemons we picked up at our local Publix grocery store {and we fully planned to actuallymake lemonade at our party, but we got distracted by games instead}, and I borrowed the trench-coat from a friend (*HERE's a similar one) and picked up the "Disguise" glasses at Party City for $5 (HERE's a similar pair). Pretty budget friendly costumes if you ask me! *I've included Amazon affiliate links for your convenience.
Our initial inspiration? Well, in my extensive internet searching for The-Punny-Halloween-Costumes-to-Rule-Them-All, I came across this picture, which inspired Mark's costume. And mine actually came from an article on Halloween Costumes on a Budget (without photos). I'll never be able to use the phrase "blessing in disguise" without a snort-laugh again.
