Where were YOU on Halloween?
How to make a Where's Waldo costume:
What you need:
- Jeans (or a jean skirt - if you're wearing a skirt, find red and white striped socks or leggings)
- A red and white striped shirt (easily found at a thrift store- there were several to choose from!)
- A red and white striped hat (or at least a red hat with a white pompom, see below.)
- Glasses
I found my striped shirt at Goodwill. Technically I went as "Wenda", but I didn't have a denim skirt, so I wore denim shorts that I already owned, found bright red tights at Target and striped baseball socks at Spencer's. I found the faux glasses at Claire's in the mall (please don't make me go back there.)
The hardest part was finding a hat. I simply could not find a red and white striped beanie anywhere. I'm sure they are easier to find around Christmas, but not in October. So I went to the Dollar Tree and got a red beanie for $1 and used white yarn to make a pompom, which I easily stitched on top.
Kevin's outfit was even simpler, since he already had glasses and jeans...he found his shirt at Plato's Closet and I made his hat the same way I made mine. If you have a wooden cane, bonus prop, but beware that it could get in the way of your drink ;)
The party we went to had one other Waldo - a costume he bought at the Halloween Store- but our costumes were honestly way more adorable and original. They had that DIY flair. Besides, even if your Waldo costume isn't 100% accurate, you can always say you are a Waldo look-alike!
