Yoshi's Egg and A One-Up Mushroom Candy Baskets

Today I worked on making the kids their candy buckets for Halloween. Our oldest son is 10 and he is going to be Mario. Our youngest is 7 and he is going to be Yoshi.  Here is the costume I made for him.

So, yoshi has an egg in the game, so I thought I'd take a bucket and form and egg around it.  The egg didn't turn out exactly as I planned, but it is good enough. Mario collects one-up mushrooms, so I took a bucket and formed the mushroom around it.   The one-up mushroom turned out exactly as I pictured it.

I used 2 halloween buckets and some fleece to create these.  The top of the mushroom is open.  The top flips up on the egg.  The boys thought they were pretty awesome.  I love to make them smile!
