Sooo. Nearly every year, I dress up as the same thing: a Witch/Vampire/Generally Scary Character. This year, I decided to change it up a little. I've been reading a lot of books related to the 1920's, so I chose to be a Flapper!! How fun! I searched all over for a costume. Found many options (all $40+ and rather skanky), but none that appealed to me. So.....I hit D.I. - found a dress for $4. I also found shoes ($4) and a handbag ($1.50).
Then, I headed to Hobby Lobby for fringe and sequins. The awesome lady at the fabric counter helped me upload a 40% off coupon from the H. L. website and saved me $10 on my fringe and sequins. My feathers were on sale, too - 50% off !! Woot! Woot
After a couple days of pondering (and great input from my sis), I got started. Rather than sew all the glitter on, I decided to take the simple route - Hot Glue baby!! Here's the first round:
After a couple more rounds, here's what I ended up with:
Finally, I got it all done (for less than $40, and just how I wanted). Now I just need a couple LONG strands of beads (pearls if I can find them)....I'm open to friends willing to lend :)
See you in a few weeks!
p.s. No wig this year...the hair's the real deal.
