This Medieval Armor Halloween costume worked out great for my son! I was trying to think of what flexible material there is that is metallic looking, and thought of those sunshades that go in your car window. I picked one up at the end of the season for 75% off, so I only spent $2.50 … Read more
It took us under 5 dollars to make this Homemade Unicorn Pegasus Costume. First take about 1 square foot of sequined fabric and fold corner to corner.
