Blues Clues Costumes: Blue and Magenta

From About.com

A few years ago, I took some blue footed pajamas and got some darker blue fabric paint. I made some dark spots on the pajamas, bought a set of cheap head bands, made some ears with craft foam and glued the ears to the headband. And my son was Blue!

I bought my daughter a pink jogging outfit, did the same thing, but using pink instead and she was Magenta. They looked really cute and all together I think I spent $9.00 at the most. And that was only because the pink sweat outfit for my daughter was almost $7.00. I got a lot of compliments on them. Costumes these days are over $12.00, some as much as $30.00 or more, so I saved money.
