This year we’re kicking it off with a how to make a sparkly heart emoji Halloween costume that would work for mom, but is PERFECT for baby! The heart emoji costume is soft and basically like a pillow, which is perfect for that phase when the baby won’t have anything scratchy near her delicate skin. The sparkly heart emoji can be placed on a onesie like we have it or snapped onto a backpack carrier – great for a night out trick-or-treating with the older kids.

Since your baby has your heart and all the sparkles — this sparkly heart emoji costume is obviously the best option for Halloween. To transform the idea into a matching piece for mom or older kids, just make 5-6 of the sparkly heart emojis and snap them onto your own outfit for the night. Let us show you how to make a heart emoji costume!

3. Fold heart inside out and fill with batting. Hot glue along the opening to close it up.

4. Fold Mylar in half and cut out star shapes in varying sizes so you have two of each size. We also used this concept to make our mini mylar balloons, see more on how to do it right here.
