This year I made Flintstone costumes for the family as I was determined to DIY a Halloween costume for my toddler that wouldn’t leave him drenched in sweat in the Florida heat (yes, it’s still ungodly hot here during “Fall”).

If you are making a Barney costume too, you can use the scraps from the bottom of the Barney outfit as the triangles- it worked perfectly for me. It was comfortable, I could adjust the dress to the length I wanted, and because the Flintstones have a “rugged” look, I didn’t have to worry about it being perfectly made! Hopefully, you are able to score good deals on the material and enjoy a thrifty, easy option for Halloween. Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited. I chose to hot glue one end of the strip to the front of the loincloth and safety pin the other end in the back, but I think you would be fine hot-gluing both ends.Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full and clear credit is given to Julie Drehoff and/or Edamommy with appropriate and specific direction to the original content. Featuring a dress with an attached hood and a belt to match, this outfit will let everyone know that you’re a huge fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Step Five: Give your Bam Bam his caveman club and STEP BACK because he is sure to get right into character! I used my Cricut to cut the design out of black vinyl and iron on, but I’m sure paint or sharpie would work well too. Step Three: Using the same brown felt, cut a 3-4 inch long brown strip to attach across Bam Bam’s torso. Pull the excess fabric over the top of the ribbon and tuck under to give the illusion of a cinched waist.Step Five: Hot glue white broach/pendant/felt circle where you fastened the black ribbon around the blue material. It seems that many of my fellow Floridians agreed, as little Bam Bams and Pebbles filled my post-Halloween newsfeed.

Step Four: Pull the material tightly around your back towards the front so that it collects in one area that you can pull up towards your neck. Step Three: Measure armhole sizes needed for your Barney and cut 1/4 inch (or far enough in to break the seam) on each arm. Bring your favorite bad guy to life this Halloween when you wear this officially licensed Oogie Boogie Dress Costume. Step Four: Hot glue the mini bone onto the front part of the loincloth where the brown strip connects.
