Homemade Elliott from ET #Halloween Costume #ETPhoneHome #Elliott

We like to make homemade Halloween costumes every year and this year my son will be Elliott from ET! It is a pretty simple costume to make and looks amazing! You will need the following items:

• Red Hooded Shirt 
• Bike Handlebars
• Wire basket or plastic milk crate
• White sheet or towel
• Plush ET toy
• Zip Ties
• Bungee cord

First off we zip tied ET to the metal basket.  Then we took old bike handle bars and zip tied it to the basket.  Wrap a sheet, blanket, towel around ET to keep him hidden.  Attach a bungee cord around the basket and place it over your head.  This way it hangs nicely in front of you!

I picked up my basket at Target on clearance, but here is another great option: 

Wire Storage Basket $13.35 & FREE Shipping on orders over $49.

The ET plush in my photo is the one below that we purchased at Universal.

This outfit is super cute and only takes a matter of minutes to put together!!!
