I love the play on words possibility behind “a roll in the hay”. I had two days to get everything and pull off the creation with limited funding! No pressure! I ended up spending $20, half of which was for a can of 3M 77 Adhesive. Many people asked if I had hollowed out a … Read more

I actually got the idea for this costume from this site! I was really excited, as I’d never made my own costume before. I had an old black dress in the back of my closet, so that became the base. I got thick white pants and thin string from goodwill, and some small bells off … Read more
