The best Nightmare Before Christmas Costumes

in DIY on 10/28/22

If you are wanting to do The Nightmare Before Christmas costumes for Halloween this year, I’ve got your back. This has been a costume I’ve wanted to do for a long time now and it turned out better than I imagined. I linked the costumes below and how I put it all together!

I love doing a themed photoshoot of our Halloween costumes each year. Last year we did Game of Thrones and you can see those pictures HERE.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Costumes

I’ve always wanted to do Nightmare before Christmas costumes for Halloween. Justin and I loved this movie and would watch it every Halloween. I’m so stoked about how it all turned out! I bought Sally and Jack Skellington costumes and made Oogie Boogie costume. I linked costumes and share with you how I put this all together.

Photoshoot Day

I made a short video of our photoshoot. I love getting pictures in our costume before Halloween. After I have my picture I’m happy and then the boys can be whatever they want on Halloween day or for their classroom parties. I don’t have to stress about it again and we just have fun during Halloween weekend!

Sally Costume

I’ve always wanted to do Sally as a costume one day and I’m so happy with how it turned out. This was my first time trying face makeup like this. For my first time trying I think I did pretty good.

Link to Sally dress

I was surprised how hard it was to find a good Sally Dress. I ended up going with number one from Amazon and it worked great. It came with a wig, but I used a different wig instead. I also linked some other dresses as well for more options. Links below picture.

1. Longer dress // 2. Short dress // 3. Short Sleeve Short Dress // 4. Darker colored dress

Sally Makeup

This was my first time doing costume face makeup like this. For my first time, I think I did pretty good. I followed this tutorial on youtube and it was really helpful. The only regret I have is buying cheap costume makeup. The makeup I bought was from Target and was cheap and not good quality. The makeup was cracking in places and close up didn’t look as good. Definitely invest in high quality costume makeup!

1. Blue face paint // 2. White face paint // 3. Eye shadow // 4. Makeup Brushes // 5. Sally Makeup Set // 6. Eye Pencil

Jack the Skeleton

One of my boys was Jack the Skeleton and he was so excited to get his face painted. I had to prep him though and show videos of kids getting their face painted. I think the face paint made this photo even better so I was really happy that he let me do that. The costume was from Amazon and easy to find.

1. Jack with face mask // 2. Jack suit with hat // 3. Jack with hood // 4. Baby Jack with hood // 5. Baby Jack

Oogie Boogie

This Oogie Boogie costume turned out better than I imagined. I tried to find a costume so we didn’t have to make one, but I couldn’t find a good one. Justin’s mom is so good at sewing and helped me make this. We followed this blog tutorial and it was so helpful.

We went to Joann’s to get the fabric. I knew if I got burlap it would be too itchy and my son would not want to wear it. We found some linen fabric similar to that burlap color and it worked perfectly!

A year ago today I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly to LA and meet Katie Couric. I also met some amazing women and we were able to talk about the toll of a cancer diagnosis. Help people feel less alone in the cancer world. @katiecouric @katiecouricmedia #cancer #cancerawareness #cancerdiagnosis

My aunt and uncle are taking my boys to visit my parents in Canada. I wanted a break and my parents wanted to see the boys so this just worked out so well! 

Going to be getting all the stuff done this week that I’ve been wanting to do, but I hope I plan in fun/relax time as well! 

Comment “Canada” to get a DM and see the video of our last trip to Canada where my parents saw the boys for the first time since they moved. It’s so cute!
How I’ve been feeling lately 😞 it’s just to How I’ve been feeling lately 😞 it’s just too much! Anyone else feel like this? 

Maybe we aren’t suppose to be doing it all at once but when I let some things go I feel guilty. It makes sense we are meant to have a partner in life. Playing both roles is weighing on me. Hard to be mom and dad, managing the home, be the only income. At the end of the day if something needs to get done it’s on me. No one to lean on or go through it with. 😢 #singleparents #youngwidow #widow #parenting #lifequotes #quotes
