Lego Fireman Minifigure Costume

My son LOVES Lego, and decided he wanted to be one for Halloween. After searching the internet for a costume, I soon learned that there are no store-bought ones out there (crazy, right?!) This search also turned up some pretty great homemade Lego costumes, so I decided to give making my own a try.

I found making this costume to consist of a lot of trial-and-error, but in the end, I was pretty happy with the finished product. And more importantly, my son LOVED it! We loved it so much, I somehow found the time and energy to make TWO MORE for myself and husband (and a little Lego brick for my daughter).

I've made this Instructable as clear and straightforward as I could, in hopes that it will help anyone else who wants to make one in the future. I hope you like it!
