DIY Interchangeable Easy Letterboard Costume for Halloween

I think it’s safe to say our obsession with letterboards isn’t going away any time soon. I know mine isn’t! To celebrate my love of letterboards, I thought I’d go ahead and turn myself into one for Halloween! This easy letterboard costume is made with velcro so that the felt letters are easily interchangeable. I can’t even tell you how much time I spent rearranging letters to make goofy Halloween puns, but I narrowed it down to just three to share with you all! You might even like wearing this interchangeable letterboard dress for any ‘ol day of the week so you can rearrange the letters over and over again.

This is a really quick and easy Halloween costume if you use pre-cut letters. If you want to custom cut them with a Cricut machine or Silhouette (here’s a tutorial for cutting felt with Cricut) then it will take much longer, but you’ll be able to choose the size of your letters. The ones I used are quite large, which means I can’t fit very long words onto the dress. All of the supplies are linked below!

I’ve been using this white letterboard from JOANN a lot lately, but I also still love my DIY ombre letterboard I made earlier this year.

Time: 20 minutes

Supplies:

  • White dress (or desired color)
  • Peel-and-stick velcro, white
  • Large black felt letters
  • Scissors

Step 1: Lay the dress out flat and measure how long you want each line of velcro to be across the front of the dress. Keep in mind that you want the letters to be visible, so you don’t want the velcro to run seam to seam, just along the bust with a few inches of space on either side. 

Important: Note, I used only the soft side of the velcro and will attach the rough side to the letters. If your letters are all felt (rather than a smooth back like mine) then you can adhere the rough side to the dress and the letters will stick without additional velcro.

Step 2: Cut the SOFT velcro into 5 equal-sized pieces and remove the backing in order to stick to the front of the dress (see note above).

Step 3: Place each piece of velcro on the dress, several inches apart. Use your letters to determine how much space you need between each line of velcro.

Step 4: As you can see, my letters have smooth backs. If that’s the case, cut small pieces of rough velcro, peel away the backing and stick to the backside of the letters. Make sure the velcro is in the approximate middle of the letters so they’ll be even on the dress.

Step 5: Then you can start attaching your letters to the dress! I found it easiest to do this with the dress laying flat rather than wearing it.

Rearrange the letters as much as you want to create goofy sayings! I think I’ll just wear this letterboard dress whenever, not just for my Halloween costume!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
