As Halloween approaches, many parents are hunting for the perfect store-bought costumes for their little ones. However, one mom has gone above and beyond, crafting an incredible crocheted “E.T.” costume for her son that will leave you feeling a tad jealous.
In just four days, Sarah Thompson from Columbus, Ohio, created this stunning costume for her 2-year-old son, Max. And she didn’t just follow a simple pattern—she designed it entirely freehand! Sarah shared photos of her finished creation on her blog, Crafty Chronicles. Prepare to be amazed by her talent!
About Sarah Thompson
While you’re picking your jaw up off the floor, let’s share a bit more about this crafty mom. Sarah has been crocheting since she was a teenager, thanks to her grandmother who taught her the art sitting on a vibrant couch. “I learned so much from her, and I think it’s the best way to start,” she said.
Sarah has a deep love for the 80s and is determined to pass that passion on to Max. “When he’s older, I plan to introduce him to all the classic 80s movies,” she remarked, acknowledging that he’s too young to fully appreciate how cool his “E.T.” costume really is.
More Creative Costumes
Her creativity doesn’t stop there. Sarah has also made costumes like an impressive Clint Eastwood outfit inspired by “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and a charming Absolem costume (the caterpillar from “Alice in Wonderland”) for Max last year. Talk about a cuteness overload!
“I’m just thrilled that my creations are bringing joy to others,” Sarah shared with Home Insemination Kit, expressing her gratitude for the positive feedback. “I’ve been saving screenshots of all the compliments to create a scrapbook!”
Crafting Tips for Parents
For those parents looking to dive into crafting, Sarah recommends starting with grandma or checking out online resources. “When I was learning, I spent so much time with my Grandma. Now, with the internet, there are endless tutorials available. So, ask your grandma, and if she doesn’t know, hop on YouTube together!”
As someone who’s dabbled in various crafts only to give up in frustration, it’s hard not to admire Sarah’s dedication. Not to mention, she gets to make jaw-dropping Halloween costumes for her son that his friends will surely envy. We know we would!
