I hand made this Homemade Poison Ivy Costume and it took me about a month to do it. I first started with an old green leotard I had and sewed on hundreds of fake leaves I had ripped off of fake flowers and plants. This process took the longest by far. I purchased the green … Read more
My friends and I were originally going to be the cast of The Little Mermaid but realized that would be way to hard to make in one month. So we were brainstorming and the idea of a Homemade Batman Villians Group Costume came up. When planning this we had no idea how amazing we would … Read more
