A lamp shade would work ! Just use blue cloth to cover it ! I think that will be a cool costume Chat Icon

Thanks! If I find that I can't do a good enough job in time for this halloween (I only have tonight since I'm traveling on Friday) I'm going to save it for next year. I already know the whole song Chat Icon

You could get a big plastic bowl too...cut out bottom to fit your head..add the fake fruit in there so its not so heavy on your head.

Just an update! I got my costume and I think it looks pretty awesome. I got a shallow green basket from Joann Fabrics for 50% off, and I glued in some fake fruit. I tied a ribbon to both handles and will tie it under my chin. And I got the cheesiest clothes! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Will post pictures of the costume when I'll all done up. Thanks for your help girls! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Thanks! I was so ehhhhhh about Halloween this year since we can't stay out late. We have to drive at 6am to Boston for a surprise birthday brunch party on Sunday.

But now that I have a great costume, I'm soooo excited! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
