Helicopter Mom Halloween costume

Looking for a cheap and easy Halloween costume that will leave your friends laughing? Be a Helicopter Mom!

It’s super easy to make! You can whip it up in just about 5 minutes AND with materials from around the house!

You Need:

cardboard
toilet paper roll
scissors
black paint
hot glue
tape
2 safety pins
hat
shirt (optional)
htv (optional)
silhouette machine (optional)

To make your helicopter:

Cut your cardboard into two strips. Mine are about an 1 1/2″ by 8″
Cut your toilet paper roll into a 1/3
Have your kiddo paint the cardboard and roll black
Once the paint drys pin the toilet paper roll onto the center of the hat
Cross your cardboard pieces over one another making an x and hot glue it
Hot glue the bottom, center of the X onto the toilet paper roll
Add a piece of tape just to make sure it’s secure

To make the shirt:

Open the Silhouette Design Software and write Helicopter Mom (I traced an helicopter image)
Measure your shirt and resize your image to fit accordingly
Flip your image
Load your HTV into your Silhouette
Adjust your cut settings (since you are working with small letters I recommend dropping the speed some)
Click cut
Weed your decal
Heat up your iron on the cotton setting, lay your decal on your shirt and cover with a tea towel
Hold the heat on for 20 seconds, then lift and hold on another section. If you think you are done check a corner and see if the decal fused to the shirt, if not do it again until it does.
Once it looks fused give it a second to cool down (not all the way though) and peel the plastic off

Doesn’t get much simpler then that! Now go try on your outfit and take a selfie because I want to see it!! But do me a favor and use the hashtag #helicoptermomfw2w so that I can check it out.

Have a great Halloween! xo, Dee
