I made Leia's dress from 2 XL white tshirts, Her mom made her belt with a cereal box and chrome duck tape, I made her buns with brown fabric attached to a headband. For Luke all I had to do was cut an XL youth tshirt down the middle then angle around the neck, he's wearing a leather belt, grey pants, and black rubber boots. I wish you could see the action shots him mom took of him!

I had so much fun putting our costumes together. Opie's Ewok costume was a change in plans. Originally he was going to be Darth Vader, but after a boy at church asked the Children's Church Director if he could be a scary looking bad guy she asked the kids to please pick "good guys". She later told me that Darth Vader wasn't scary and she thought it was fine if we still went with that, but I'm one of the teachers and thought we should follow the rules. So Ewok it was and we were both happy with how it turned out. :o)
I also helped my friend with her daughter's Princess Leia costume and Luke Skywalker costume. I forgot to get permission to post them on here, so maybe later I'll ask if I can add them. Her littlest was going to be Yoda until he saw a picture of the costume and said, "No way!" :o)
I decided I was the Halloween Elf this year. I put together our costumes, helped with my friend's two costumes, helped my Mom with her shirt for her costume, and helped my Mother-in-Law with her hair and added some lettering to her apron.
Guess what! It took THREE tries to get all that gold makeup scrubbed off my face!!!

DeleteThis is fantastic! I'm a big fan of Star Wars and of family/group costumes. My brother's family did a Star Wars theme a couple years back as Obi-Wan and Leia, with a 6yo Luke and an infant R2D2. Your little ewok is the cutest!

So nice to hear you say so, I had to murder a teddy bear to make it happen. The baby kept saying, "Bear?" I waited until he wasn't in the room to cut into it, didn't want him to cry or get any ideas. :o)
