HOMEMADE HALLOWEEN No. 4: The Diver

This one really cracks me up. Bennett has grown up with a father that dives for abalone any chance he gets. So being a diver for Halloween was a natural choice.

A dig through his toy bin for his firefighter apparatus and summer swim-gear, basic black socks, a little thievery from his sister’s gymnastic-suit drawer and some extremely basic sewing with lycra and gluing with foam sheet cut-outs & ribbon, we came up with this darling little suit!

Here’s the basic concept for the parts of the costume I made from Lycra/Spandex, Yellow grosgrain ribbon and foam sheets. The socks were put on over his shoes to simulate diver’s booties.

I’m surprised he took that mouth piece off long enough to eat his candy. He felt pretty cool in this get-up!
