It was also left open so we can hopefully fill it with mounds of candy that I can raid later that night. We left room in the trunk to carry around some extra Greasers if we find them along the way while trick or treating. We attached metal mixing bowls on the front of the car for the lights, and inserted circle battery operated lights in the center. This took a little more time since my drawing skills are less than par, but I think it came out okay in the end. The Grease Lightning car is white with silver lightning bolts lined in red. Next, we attached an old steering wheel and grill to give it a more authentic look. I used old cushions covered in black vinyl for the seats. We basically built a box, and put it on wheels. The car was a bit of an undertaking, but to me it really made the outfit. She always wears a smile and carries red cheer pom poms!īuilding Your Own Greased Lightnin’ Car for Trick or Treating Her hair is pulled back in a pony tail and tied with a red ribbon.

I winged the skirt a little bit, because after all it is just for one night, and does not have to be perfect. Tip: Felt is a fabulously cheap and sturdy fabric that is perfect for Halloween costumes. Sandy wears a red skirt for her Rydell High cheerleader outfit, so naturally that is the color I chose. The skirt is a classic poodle skirt shape.

This year my kids dressed up as Danny and Sandy from Grease, and we made them a car to match! Our whole DIY Grease Lightning Costumes set up was pretty amazing. This is easier to accomplish when your kids are younger, because they still think it’s fun to dress up and match each other.
