Baby Girls First Halloween Costume

DIY Starbucks Coffee Baby-Wearing Costume

It's been a few years since we dressed up for Halloween. This year, I had our costumes planned out months in advance! Since this would be Gabby's first Halloween costume, I wanted to do something cute and memorable. After going back and forth between a few ideas, I thought this DIY Starbucks Coffee Baby-Wearing Costume would be perfect! After all, Starbucks is special to us because it was Andrew's first job, and he was there for almost five years! Plus, we are coffee lovers. Well, I am... not so much Andrew. He worked at Starbucks but didn't really care to drink coffee. He would bring his employee drink to me after work! Oh, those were the days! ;)

Since Andrew still had his apron from his days as a Starbucks barista, and most of the other things for the costume would be simple, I thought dressing her as a Starbucks White Mocha Frappuccino would be the cutest thing. It sure was! Plus, I was able to baby-wear for this costume, which made it much more convenient. We had a family costume party in Miami last weekend, and I made the whipped cream headpiece for the costume on the way there! It was super simple to make, cheap, and came out pretty decent, so I thought I would share! All you mainly need is a ring sling baby carrier (Mine is from WildBird), and a few household items! All the details are listed at the end of this post! If you are looking for a quick DIY Halloween costume for you and your baby this is a great one for any coffee-lovers out there! Enjoy!

Her face when I told her there was no actual coffee nor can she have any until she is older... But she is definitely yummy!

Here's how we wore it to our family party. If I would have been able to find our other apron, I would have been wearing one too! ;) iPhone photo taken by my aunt.
