hi all! i had to re-upload yesterday's video so for all of y'all who caught it in the first hour before it disappeared yesterday.. you're a real one! thank you! 🐸

[@stephanieg2000]

Thought I was having deja vu!!! I was excited to get a bonus video and realized I did see it yesterday. LOL!

[@avalonjameson3882]

I'm here for the frog, round 2. :)

[@graceelizabeth130]

Yes I saw ir!

[@SeontaSkky]

I thought I was going crazy 😂

[@samiansley5740]

I really appreciate this explanation 😅 bc I was confused at first

[@knitsoft]

When I was 9 months pregnant with my son I walked around the neighborhood trying to go into labor. I was wearing all black with cat ears. A neighbor asked what I was and I told her I was a feral cat. She CACKLED. 🤣🐈‍⬛Scary stuff.

[@crazygossipgurl101]

Like i haven’t been frantically sewing my jester costume for a month using materials ive been stockpiling for years. I’m gonna annoy so many coworkers. I have so many bells and confetti balloons

[@lizzymorang8048]

My roommates and my girlfriend and I are doing a group Bluey costume and we went to the thrift store to find some pieces and then had a little craft night to make our ears. It was such a fun activity to do together!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

if this ain't the sweetest thang i've ever read!!!!

[@KadeKuro]

rewatching cuz any Kathleen Illustrated video is a good time, we love a chaotic rerun

[@KathleenIllustrated]

( ≧U≦)ﾉ(˵•́ ᴗ •̀˵✿) ty for rewatching!!!

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

How can you be so fun, stinky, and relaxing at the same time?✨ Thanks for double the fun, and all the crafty crazy creativity!💖💖

[@BaileySuttonMusic]

This video made me want to make 7 costumes for halloween this year.

[@bakubaku087]

the paul dano comparison killed me

[@bradleyalguire5301]

Favourite part of my week is when Kathleen posts 🥰

[@MoxieMcMurder]

The costume you used the swim poncho for is giving mothman...mothlady vibes. 💚

[@bluzerka3516]

I'm from Israel and the current situation is so stressful and scary. This video distracted me and brought a smile to my face than u❤❤ love u sm

[@Tmp130]

I hope you and your family are safe. I cannot imagine the stress.

[@nataliezimmerman6771]

^^ wishing you safety and wellness

[@milkshakebananaz]

I always build my costume from the thrift shop!! My biggest pro tip? If you need to color match a strange color…. Buy white and dye it! It allows you a little more freedom in choosing silhouettes while still being able to have a perfect match! This year I needed a matching orange set 😅

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

Hi! I could use a few pro tips to get over my dye avoidance problem…! If you don’t mind sharing, which synthetic fabrics would you say are easiest to dye? (I have weird sensory issues with most natural fibers)😅

[@milkshakebananaz]

@@lisa_wistfulone7957 polyester takes dye well, I’m by know means an actual expert 🫠 I’ve just made a ton of costumes for myself … I guess I shouldn’t have called it a “pro” tip. More like “I had a channel where I made costumes and I had ~30k subs” professional…. Which yea 😭

[@lauren-gx1lg]

This year's Halloween costume is Isabelle from Animal Crossing! I used a white collared shirt and blue skirt from my wardrobe and thrifted a green sweater vest. I'll be making little felt ears to go with it! I think it's so cute and love that it was made from mostly items I already had around.

[@DizzyLizziePop]

Blueberry! My first thought was “Violet! You’re turning violet Violet!!!”

[@georginaferenz6083]

Loved the Magic 8 ball costume! So lucky to find the prop also.

[@myhandsaslanguage]

This was just the video I needed today. We had to postpone a fun Over the Garden Wall party due to me and my cohost getting sick, and on top of all that, I have no Halloween costume yet! This video made me smile and gave me ideas and motivation to get that costume done. Thank you :)

[@nefertitimontoya]

Omg I also had to postpone an otgw watch party bc I got a COVID exposure!!! Hope it gets rescheduled safely :)

[@myhandsaslanguage]

Sorry you had to do that too. Hope we both get to reschedule soon! @@nefertitimontoya

[@erinrockwell8490]

Aw frog and toad are such a perfect otp

[@emmagregory2450]

Can I just say your videos have been one of the only things giving me genuine happiness lately and for that I thank you!

[@loissage3630]

I love the Froggy costume, that skirt! I would wear the skirt everyday of my life. Kudos to your creativity, my mom always made us magical costumes from things we had around the house. It was the best and so are you!!❤

[@MakeupJustForFun]

It's always Halloween in my SOUL 🎃

[@cloudgoose]

I’m trying to make the handmade clown costume of my dreams this year and a Kathleen video is exactly what I needed to power me up for my crafting!!! I’m obsessed with the blueberry costume and the 8-ball! genius!!

[@alexasunshine83]

I love the red addition to your hair!!! so cute ❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thank you frand!!!!

[@kymhausen]

your vibes are immaculate as always

[@maya-gur695]

I managed to watch it when it was first uploaded. I thought the blueberry was my favorite, but watching again, I think the blueberry and the magic 8 ball are both my favorites.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

( ≧U≦)ﾉ(˵•́ ᴗ •̀˵✿) ty for rewatching!!! both are very round, very perfect options 💫💕

[@hedgecomber]

Sweetheart, you are a joy. Totally nuts, but an absolute joy 😂

[@95JessBess]

Not the way my whole body and soul immediately recognized Time Warp was playing when you found the magic 8 ball... Fun fact: I dressed up as a Time Warp dancer for Halloween as a 10th grader. Did anyone have any clue who I was? Absolutely not. Did I bring those knees in tight? Absolutely yes.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

bahahaha it's such a bop! i was just listening to the jack black cover this morning 💃

[@rachealgetscreative]

Ahhhhh, the frog so CUTE!!!!

[@aylasaurus]

You are just absolutely such a joy to watch every week. So happy I found this lil corner of the internet

[@desertvibes6080]

I shouldn't have waited so long to watch this! It's so good ❤so well done! I am partial to the magic 8 ball 🎉

[@LaurelRothamel]

The blueberry costume is EVERYTHINGGG. You're so creative and I love it!

[@angelabutler7761]

That blueberry costume was fabulous!!

[@Strawlighte]

The high street goodwill is ALWAYS the BEST place in CBUS for halloween imo

[@jenniferjurczak7465]

Well done!!! I love your creativity. I’m doing a trunk for Trunk or Treat this weekend. My fist stop for supplies was Good Will! I wasn’t exactly sure what I was looking for but I was able to find a few items that work for my “bubbling cauldron” witchy theme.Thank you for the content you create. I always look forward to your videos.

[@fivestaricons]

all my kathleen-ites rise up 🙌

[@nikkipepper787]

HolySnotBalls You Kill me!!! I laughed, I cried (from laughing obviously) and I absolutely let out a snort. Love you lady. thanks for the super RAD Stinky Content

[@bunnybunny7112]

the 8-ball dress is next level 🙌

[@caldera.collage]

I am being a mime this year and so much of that is easy to thrift

[@jessiejayjess]

So I sew with a machine, but I also love hand embroidery and stitching. Please share your magical method of not pre-cutting and knotting your thread!!

[@yvonnemurphy7487]

You have completely outdone yourself with this one, BRAVA!!!!

[@dolphin1694]

for halloween my friends were taylor eras! my costume was 100% thrifted! inspired by Kathleen of course! you are the literal best! ❤🐸

[@SingingwithHLC]

I am.... stunned by your ambidextrous hand stitching powers.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not LOL but thanks!

[@SingingwithHLC]

Absolutely not joking. Had never considered going 2 handed!!!!

[@CameronPowell-sx4hy]

the red hair looks so goooood 🤩

[@Trigillia]

I was not prepared for the Paul Dano realness

[@KathleenIllustrated]

lmao it can not be unseen

[@aaaaaaaaaaagh11]

I adore the froggy costume! I havent got a Halloween party to go to this year but if i did i think going as a lil red and white toadstool would be cute 😁

[@uschilou]

Wooooah, core memory unlocked w PaRappa.

[@danielasuarez8029]

Your blueberry outfit could completely be the doll from my big comfy couch show

[@FA3WILDES]

THIS IS SO SMART I LOVE THIS IDEA (And your commentary, its so funny

[@jess3e3]

i adore you!! youre like the jenna marbles of thrift

[@KathleenIllustrated]

this is truly the highest compliment one can receive. THANK YOU!

[@lapislazulis2378]

I'm going to be Sophie Ellis Bextor in Murder on the Dancefloor. I "just" have to thrift a poison ring. I'm amazed by your creativity!

[@amydelong7972]

Love the hair color! Also, I'm planning on going as a wizard.

[@luvgren]

These are some good ideas! I loove the frog, it's so simple yet so cute. I wonder if I can do a cute little rat with a scarf

[@kerid9658]

You needed a seat cushion for your office chair that looks like a lily pad. Thanks for being a goof. I enjoyed that.

[@KiandraChan]

i absolutely love your videos i could listen to you FOREVER !

[@hepcatliz]

7:02 THE CACKLE OF A PLAN COMING TOGETHER!! love it ❤❤

[@Bonnatella]

Your hair freaked meowt! Annnd my favorite part of my week is when Kathleen re-uploads! ✌️✨🎉

[@KathleenIllustrated]

( ≧U≦)ﾉ(˵•́ ᴗ •̀˵✿) ty for rewatching!!!

[@soarinsuzi7206]

PaRappa!!!! A classic

[@misskelevra]

I love the blueberry outfit soo much 🫐

[@nicolearriaga9969]

Another gem!

[@christinamann3640]

Ooh! Silent screen star ghost!

[@ThriftsandTangles]

These costumes are so fun & creative!

[@misssinister7936]

I like how we go adventuring with you. Funnnn

[@brooketaylor3498]

New comfort KZbinr

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🥹💫 hi new friend!!!

[@christinamann3640]

Hide a couple wigs of different colours on you, with a quick change way to adjust your outfit, and be a time traveller who goes back and forth in time! The ideas are just flowing from this video!

[@ilikebumblebees354]

There is a blueberry character in Strawberry Shortcake!! Blueberry Muffin!!

[@greatestcalamity6886]

i’m going as allison from the breakfast club this year and i thrifted my entire costume!

[@oh-pioneer8787]

This will be our second year being garden gnomes because my daughter is obsessed with them lol. But it's so easy! Make a red conical hat out of felt, grab some garden-y clothes & boots, and you're done! Also, I have a feeling you and Rachel Maksy are kindred spirits!

[@mcwjes]

Came for the costumes, left with weapon ideas! 🐸

[@christinamann3640]

Maybe take another hair band like for the frog costume and wrap it in the ribbon with the pincushion still attached to anchor it.

[@e.malloy7530]

"graphic design is my passion 🙂" = "graphic design is my prison 🙃" Same.

[@Gus.Martin.Rollerblading]

Halloween Queeeeen! 👏

[@xRiriRebel]

Those were some really cute costumes, love it! 💖

[@erinrabideau3691]

Such cute ideas ❤

[@caliblue2]

I wish I had seen this before Halloween- I would have been so inspired to be a blueberry 8ball frog🧿🎱🐸💯

[@elaboratesmile]

HAIR! so good!

[@greencoloredstar]

You make me smile. ❤️❤️ Happy Halloween, y'all!

[@violetbookclub]

A couple bobby pins on the ribbon of the blueberry hat should keep it from becoming a purse! lol

[@rheasparrow1]

yes!!!! I have a thrift store costume this year too!

[@knitiva]

wooo yess Kathleeen! very very good stuff! A++!

[@robinmichel9048]

Strawberry Shortcake's friend was Blueberry Muffin and holy cow would that be a fun costume! Green gingham shirt, blue pinafore, blue bucket hat, and green striped tights. Too cute.

[@voidfish6546]

This video made me realise how easy it'll be to thrift everything for perfect Harry DuBois costume, and now I kinda wanna do it Thanks Kathleen

[@xingcat]

Just fantastic. Parappa was so fun back in the day, and now I want to make my own hat for the character.

[@bunnycartoon]

omg, YEARS ago I made Lammy & Parappa costumes for me and (my now ex)! They were super easy to make, I just drew the designs on an old white t-shirt and glued them to the beanie & Lammy's shirt. I also made dog ears for the beanie out of (unused) black socks that I just hot glued to the inside! For Lammy, I also made a guitar out of posterboard to carry around. That was a super fun costume to make, maybe one of these days I'll make it again... I LOVE the idea of the magic 8 Ball, part of me wants to do one with the spinner on the back and making a giant 8 to put on the front....hmmmm!! Out of all of them, I think the frog & the dust bunny are def the cutest ideas!

[@nstalgiaultra]

OMG I LOVE IT❤

[@ummmheathershow]

I am so inspired and impressed :,) HAPPY HALLOWEEN KATHLEEN MY QUEEN

[@KathleenIllustrated]

HAPPY HEATHERWEEENNNNNN!

[@juliagrummel8884]

[@tinymouse.travel]

Though Paul Dano moment couldn't be topped ❤️ then blueberry!! 😍😍😍

[@encapsulated_nomad1359]

Since I’m working on Halloween and have to wear business casual attire I’m showing up dressed up as one of my managers by borrowing some of my dad’s clothes to pull the look off 😂

[@nefertitimontoya]

I've been wanting to be spiderman for LITERALLY a decade but could never justify the cost of a new licensed costume --- but I found a $25 one online and I'm hoping it works out!!!

[@catherineb6565]

Hope you fulfil your Spidey dream!

[@julierosemodelproductions]

one word: suhkyute

[@Mara-no9pr]

kathleen! kathleen! woo!

[@hberror404]

🥰 halloweeeeeeeeen

[@JackieRompana]

For some reason I really like animal costumes that are still very "human" and look like regular clothing, like your Frog costume at 16:56 . I also like especially the Fox (Loewie De Vos) costume in the musical De 3 Biggetjes musical from 2003. He had a white scarf that represented the white chest/belly of a fox, and a red/black buffalo check long coat, which both are regular pieces of clothing but they successfully give off that fox vibe

[@killashandrabarnett5483]

#1 best stinky human!! ❤❤

[@jupiter_jazz]

my last minute homemade costume this year is a care bear! ❤️ hope this could help some people too!

[@juliagrummel8884]
