Halloween Costumes Made From Sleepers

Sleepers make the perfect starting point for a costume. They come with built-in feet, making them a good choice for cold-weather trick or treating, and the solid-colored sleepers make it easy to find coordinating pieces. With a few modifications, they can be transformed into a multitude of creatures. After the Halloween fun is over and it's time for a nap, the costumes can still be used as pajamas once any parts, such as tape, safety pins or craft foam, are removed to prevent choking hazards.

  1. Animals

    • Sleepers can be transformed into a zoo of animals with tails, ears and other parts made from craft foam or felt. Pin ears to the hood of a sweatshirt or sweater, draw a nose and whiskers with eyebrow pencil and wear matching mittens to complete the costume.

    Insects

    • Cuddly sleepers become creepy crawlers with the addition of a hat bedecked with pipe cleaner antennae and bug eyes made from cotton balls. Wings cut from craft foam and pinned to the shoulders complete the look. Make a caterpillar with stripes of black electric tape around the sleeper arms, legs and body.

    Action Heroes

    • A sleeper with a big letter "S" pinned to the chest and a towel cape around the shoulders changes a mild-mannered child into a crime-fighting hero. Bulk up a sleeper by wearing extra clothes underneath and become the Incredible Hulk.
