Mario Family Costumes

Well...my husband has wanted to do the Mario gang since our first son was born. Our boys have been playing a lot of Mario on the wii, so everyone agreed we should do Mario, and my daughter got to be a princess so she was happy! I made her dress with white and pink tulle. Bought a pink shirt and crown and decorated them up to look like princess peach. I made both the Yoshi head and the parana plant head out of paper mache, fabric, and lots of hot glue! Then I basically made a big jumpsuit for the Yoshi body and added a tail, his shell/saddle, and some spikes. I used one of those cardboard pizza boxes off a Walmart pizza to make the top of the tunnel and let fabric circle around it (for the green tunnel the parana plant comes out of). Then to add a cute touch I turned the classic pumpkin baskit into the little mushrooms! We had a lot of fun!!
