Homemade Fred Flintstone Costume
Fred Flintstone, main protagonist of the long running animated sitcom "The Flintstones", is a fun and popular character. He and his family, wife Wilma and daughter Pebbles, as well his neighbors the Rubbles, were a part of the average American's fondest childhood memories. Many of us remember spending Saturday morning watching his misadventure in the town of Bedrock with his best friend Barney. So it stands to reason that he makes for an easy and recognizable costume idea.
