The Simpsons Family Costume

Our family tried to come up with a "family costume" where all of us were involved. Our oldest daughter came up with the idea of the Simpsons. My husband was Homer, I was Marge, our 10 year daughter was Lisa, our 8 year old son was Bart and our 5 year old daughter was Maggie! The hair and Homers head were made out of the eggshell foam bed covers, I sprayed painted Marge's hair and the yellow hair I dyed with fabric dye, I cut Maggie and Lisa's hair in zig zag layers and hot glued together, the cut our a circle space for their head to fit. Lisa and Marge's necklace was made out of Ping Pong balls strung together. The eyes were made of styrofoam balls glued to Dollar store plastic glasses and the girl eyes had pipe cleaners poked into the top for the eyelashes. I spray painted some old shoes red for Marge and Lisa. We had so much fun in our neighborhood wearing these costumes, they were a huge hit!
