DIY Iron Man costume: Part 2

My son's costume is done!!

(give me a moment while I victory dance around the family room)

Ok. If you missed the first part of this costume post, you can find it  here: DIY Iron Man costume

As you may recall, the only thing I had left to do on the costume was cover his 

hands and add the blasters.  

Well, today my son and I went grocery shopping, 

and I finally remembered to look for gloves to finish off his costume.

Well, I found them!

They came in a 2-pack for 97 cents!

It was so easy to whip them up, it only took about 15 minutes.

So here are the gloves before...

Halloween is on it's way!

Yay!  I love Holidays!  From now until January is my favorite time of the year!

I know, I need to get around to decorating the house, but first we needed to make a costume.
I wanted to give myself plenty of time to make this, in case it didn't work.

My son decided he wanted to be Iron Man this year, thus furthering his super hero obsession...

I decided this was a task we could conquer, and I think we succeeded!

I started with a cardboard box and let my imagination run wild ;)
Total cost for me to make this costume so far...$0, gotta love that!!

I first cut out the 'chest plate' and the part to cover his stomach.
