My friends and I were trying to be different or at least make a homemade version of a popular costume and take it up a notch. My friends got a great idea to be peacocks and since I have to be different I decided to be a flamingo. In Pittsburgh the aviary is very popular thing to do on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
We bought our feathers and spent hours gluing them on our outfits. We also made head pieces. The peacocks made small clips since they had huge feathers. I made a mask so I could have the traditional Flamingo black hook nose with diamonds, glitter, and feathers of course!
Our Homemade Pittsburgh Aviary’s Finest Birds Group Costume was a huge hit and everyone wanted to take pictures with us! (I don’t have a pic of it, but one of our guy friends who showed up late at the party was a bird catcher!)
Hi! I am going to make a peacock costume this year and I was wondering how you made it and the cost. I thought your costumes were really cute.
