No Sew Fire Fighter outfit

I love to make things for my little guy, however, I usually have a very limited window of time where he is asleep long enough to get much done. With that said, I'm always looking for simple yet nice things that I can do myself. 

A couple of weeks ago I was asked what my little guy was going to be for Halloween, I honestly hadn't given it much thought with our upcoming move and all. I started thinking of what interests my little guy has and also the weather. He gets hot very easily so I didn't want a bulky costume. I remembered that he loves his rain boots, I usually have to hide them otherwise he wants to wear them everyday. So I started my Pinterest search so that I could create a fire fighter outfit.

I found several ideas that I liked and started gathering my materials. Here's the link to the Pin that inspired me. http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2010/10/happy-

I purchased a black jacket and black pants 

and the helmet. Total spent on the clothing 

was about $14 and $6 for the helmet.

I also purchased some duct tape ($3) in a neon 

green, I could not find red or yellow but my 

dad reassured me it would look fine. I

followed the example and added the stripes 

to the clothing.

 

I wanted to add the silver line but the duct 

tape I had at home was very wrinkled so I 

used some shimmery sticker paper that I had

in my craft room and just cut it into strips and 

placed  in the middle of each neon stripe.

And there you go a fire fighter outfit. I had seen

 some that retailed for $19.99 but the quality 

was horrible. I know my little guy will be 

comfortable in this outfit and if I really 

want to I can simply take the tape off and 

reuse the clothing.

I can't wait to see my little guy in this outfit :).

This project didn't take much time maybe 

two hours max and that's with interruptions.
