#MAGIC CARPET COSTUME HOW TO#

We had a fantastic time at Disneyland! I’ve never seen the “Happiest Place on Earth” happier than with tons of adorable kids in costumes, free candy by the handful and no lines for the roller coasters. The tassels were a key element of the costume, and we made them by fringing a long strip of felt, rolling it up sleeping-bag-style, and securing with glue. I used binder clips (painted purple) and a ribbon to hold the blanket around my neck. I attached elastic loops (hair ties) to the top corners, and wore those around my wrists.

On top, he attached his hat - a felt-covered sour cream container.įor my Magic Carpet costume, I used a purple throw blanket, some Elmer’s glue and a ton of felt. Greg just cut the ears off the top of the headband and moved them to the sides. Greg’s ears and tail were a little $3 set from JoAnn Fabrics. Jesse Wellens brought Halloween costumes to a whole new level when he dressed up as Disneys Aladdin and then rode a magic carpet surprising onlookers as. We just needed to buy Greg’s brown shirt and red vest - or sleeveless Ann Taylor shirt that he split down the middle.

Fancy small rugs are hard to come by, it turns out, but by the time we left, I’d already figured out how to make my carpet costume. We brainstormed a list of potentials and headed to the thrift store for accessories. We decided to go as Disney sidekicks, assuming (correctly) that the park would be full of princesses and Mickey Mouses. Trick or treating! Costumes! Severely discounted admission! Free parking! Special fireworks! We walked out with a bonus: a Disneyland flyer. We went to our Mexican grocery store to buy giant, inexpensive pumpkins.
