Style similar to my shirt – both our shirts are from TeePublic & they have the softest most hilarious shirts // Eric’s shirt // My shoes // Beck’s orange suit- star of the show! // Beck’s car without the carpet

“According to the map we’ve only gone 4 inches.”  “We got no food, we got no jobs… our PETS’ HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!” “No, it’s a cardigan, but thanks for noticing.” “Hey, guys. Whoa, Big Gulps, huh? All right! Well, see you later.” “Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?”

Seriously I think Dumb & Dumber is the greatest movie & that it the best movie to quote ever- there are soooo many good ones haha! For Halloween this year Beck was Lloyd Christmas & he loved telling people that haha. Eric & I decided to be Harry & Lloyd in a different scene of the movie. But by far the most fun part of these costumes was the shaggin wagon sheep dog car! I didn’t know how many people would love this. Probably 50+ people took a photo of Beck & I had some people that wanted to buy the car haha. This car was a lot of work but so worth it since Beck LOVES it so much! He always wanted to be in his dog car!

A little DIY of how I made it. I got a cozy coupe car & found some carpet at a thrift store. I had to go to a few to find a size that was big enough but not really big & expensive. I only paid $5 for the carpet. Then used this spray to attach the carpet. I used a razor blade to kind of trace 0n the back of the carpet what size I needed to cut out. Then I sprayed the spray on the back of the carpet & on the card & then just kinda held it in place while it dried. I got black, brown & red felt & eyeballed the face & then glued that on with hot glue. This car was missing a wheel so I glued on a paw I found for 77 cents at Hobby Lobby. I made a license plate out of a chalkboard & stickers from Hobby Lobby. For the Mutts Cutts sign I just found one online & printed it off & laminated it. The whole thing wasn’t too far just time consuming.

If you want your child to be car dog obsessed & turn a lot of heads this is the costume to do that! Let me know if you have any questions! I had a blast making these Dumb and Dumber costumes!
