    How to Make a Toy Story Mr and Mrs Potato Head Costume.

    If you're creating a Toy Story family Halloween costume, or if you just want a Mr Potato Head costume, I've got an easy idea for you to make your own! I'm serious, this is SO easy. In fact, I'll show you how you can make a Mr and Mrs Potato Head costume for less than $20!

    When my son decided he wanted to be Woody from Toy Story for Halloween, that was totally fine by me. I was able to get his entire costume and all accessories from JCPenney, and I was even able to make his little sister a Jessie from Toy Story costume out of everyday clothing from JCPenney and a few items from the craft store. I decided that my husband and I should get in on the fun too, so I whipped up Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head costumes for us. I'm partnering with JCPenney to show you how I did it.

    How to Make Mr and Mrs Potato Head Costumes

    This costume idea is SO easy and doesn't require a lot of muss or fuss. To get started, all you need is a few brown shirts, scissors, felt (I bought white, black, red, pink, and brown) and some double-sided permanent adhesive tape. I found the perfect Arizona t-shirts at JCPenney. Not only do they come in every color, including brown, they're SO soft and well made. I picked up two men's Arizona Basic Crewneck T-shirts for only $4.20 each! I  got my husband a large and bought a small for myself. These t-shirts are an everyday value at only $12, but with the sale, they were a STEAL!

    To make our costumes, I looked at a photo of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head from Disney's Toy Story 3 and simply cut out felt in the shapes of their eyebrows, eyes, pupils, noses, and mouths. I also cut out eyelids and lashes for Mrs. Potato Head. Remember, they don't need to be perfect! It's all just for fun.

    Attach the felt pieces to the t-shirts using double-sided adhesive glue strips or sheets from your local fabric store. That's it!

    Each sheet of felt was $0.33 or $0.99, and I got the adhesive with a coupon for $2.50. I think I spent a total of $15 to make both of these shirts. I call that a crazy bargain thanks to JCPenney!

      I HAD to pin this!! I don’t have a sewing machine, but I certainly can accomplish doing this!
      I wasn’t even thinking of Halloween when I seen the picture of you two. Which by the way, is really a keeper! I was thinking of a casual t-shirt with Mr. Potato Head on it that would look good with my jeans or jogging pants. Plus my grandkids would love it too, because they like Toy Story & Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head. I can hear them now asking me to make them one too!
      These tees could be a grab bag or Christmas gift or a stocking stuffer. TY for sharing!
