This homemade costume for families entered our 2017 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Marla, the 'The Doors' costume creator:
This one is from 2015. Our son Dakota had just turned 3 and decided he wanted to be Jim Morrison who he had become somewhat obsessed with. So I began by searching for a kids used leather jacket which I doings for about $30. Next a shirt that I found on a western site for about $30 as well. He already had black pants and black shoes so I didn't need to worry about those. He was too small to order a belt with conchos so I ordered a black kids belt and a bag of conchos and sewed some on. I also ordered some kids aviator glasses that I found on Amazon. The hair, well he already had since he refused to cut it because he said he wanted to "look like Jim Morrison". Next for our(mom & dad) costumes. I bought 4 pieces of large foam board and spray painted them brown. I then hand painted them to make them look like actual doors and then painted "The Doors" on the front them. On the back I wrote song titles. We then punched holes on all the corners and tired a thin rope through them so that we could wear over our heads so one foam board was on the front and one on the back. Overt all average cost about $100. I do believe most things could have been less if I had time to search better.
