If you are in your early to mid thirties like me, there's a good chance that you played with Strawberry Shortcake too. She sure has changed, hasn't she? Ahem...
We actually "used what we had" for her costume. The green and white striped shirt started out like this... 
Got a make-over using Crystal's reverse applique tutorial...
and turned out pretty cute!
We had the white tights and I stuffed them with newspaper before we painted the polka dots on.
Lastly, we hot glued one of the strawberries from her plastic food play set onto a summer hat.I will pick up some pink hair spray, you know the washable kind, to finish it off.
Just in case you were wondering, we found Logan a mask at Goodwill for $2.99 which he is pairing with black jeans and a black t-shirt, I found Ashston a Darth Vader costume on Craig's List for $5, and the baby got a hand-me-down puppy costume.

I would love to see...:)

Too cute! We're making our costumes on the cheap as well. I've blogged about both - Batman and Robin.
That is SO cute!!!!!!!
My mom is making Skye a Raggedy Ann costume :)
I love the Strawberry Shortcake costume. Very creative for under $5.
super cute! i loved strawberry shortcake when i was little. :)
Awe, that is too cute!
i think that the best costumes are homemade.....and this little strawberry shortcake is definitely a winner!! adorable (and so is the little strawberry shortcake wearing it!!). :)
Awh how cute and creative you are with this costume! I went with the fairy costume that I blogged about today. The more I look at a flapper outfit I might wait till she is a little older...I think she is still a little to young for it now after thinking about it during the day.
I should have gone cheap also...I was going to do a scarecrow and still might, who knows till that day!
Adorable - you are so creative and resourceful!
i love homemade halloween costumes! they're the best, and this one is darling!
It's interesting to see just how permeant memory has become in our lives. It's like everytime I turn my head, I see something with a card slot or USB port . I guess it makes sense though, considering how cheap memory has become as of late...
Ahhh... who am I to complain. I can't make it through a single day without my R4 / R4i!
