Wizard of Oz costumes

Today Bill  mailed out 3 boxes of Wizard of Oz costumes to Shannon.  [Now I can spend the $$ without guilt]...The Wizard= pinstripe pants, black funky top hat  and green dress jacket from a thrift store. I made the vest and  faked  a watch on a chain from yard sale jewelry. The Lion=I found the headpiece with attached top/tail  at a thrift store.  I found a fleece blanket that almost matched to make the sleeves and pants. I  made the "medal".  The Scarecrow= I found the hat and  top with pants at a thrift store.  The Tin Man=I bought  silvery fabric and sewed this costume.   I spray painted a plastic funnel silver.  I sewed the heart/clock thing on the front so he couldn't accidentally rip it off...The Good Fairy= I found a pink puffy dress at a thrift store and embellished it. I made a  gold lame puffy sleeve blouse to go under it..and bought a cheapo star wand, that may never make it to Halloween. [I think this costume  just looks brassy.  Maybe Shannon can find better !]  I made the Dorothy dress for Shannon and  bought the socks new.  She already has red shoes. At a thrift store I found a picnic basket and Toto. I altered the basket for Toto to stick his head out.  It  may sound like doing all this was easy.   It took several months to find all the pieces, sew this stuff and get it mailed out.  What I do for fun !
