Papa Smurf and Smurfette Costume

My fiance and I decided to be smurfs after thinking long and hard about something we could really transform ourselves into and be different. Smurfs we could even be a different color!! We knew we needed to find a paint that would be used on your skin and wouldn't come off by simply toutching it yet would come off at the end of the night. We searched online and found blue body paint that on stage performers use which was perfect! We spent about $60 on body paint which covered the both of us with a little to spare. Next we had to decide what to wear. He simply wore red sweat pants and found a white beard at a local halloween store. The cost for both were approx $20. I found a white dress on clearance at the mall and the white stockings came in handy for reducing the amount of my body I had to paint.Next, I naturally have dark brown hair so I needed a blonde wig to become smurfette. I found one online for $50. To top off our costume we needed customary smurf hats! We bought red and white fabric and cut out the shape of the hat and sewed it together. To make the shape stiffer and hold so it didn't just fall over on the top we bought stuffing and stuffed the tips. This was such a fun and rewarding costume!!
