My family is always pestering me to dress my daughter “girly”. They were over the moon when they found out she was going as a ballerina. Till I asked whether blood should be on the tutu too. It was lovely because at the time she was in her growlly stage and loved to chase people. … Read more
I glued three pieces of toilet paper to my face using spirit gum and then ripped them starting at where my mouth ended. The glue kind of made the toilet paper stiff so it was easy to paint with face makeup. I painted side of my cheek where I had ripped the toilet paper off … Read more
I had an old overall in my house, so I went to the local DIY shop and bought yellow spray paint and a sample pot of red paint. I cut the sleeves and below the knees off the overall and sprayed it yellow. I left it to dry for 2 hours outside, then added the … Read more
Ain’t too proud to beg… My daughter loves a good laugh…so we started brainstorming ideas of what she could be for Halloween. She had started off with being a hobo…but the idea transpired into something much greater. We went to our local Goodwill store and purchased an old pair of jeans and an old flannel … Read more
I started thinking about what I should be for Halloween for a couple of months. I always wanted to be something more unique, but known and not just a sexy something. A lot of people dress up as Marilyn Monroe, but not as much as Audrey. I decided to wear a little black dress I … Read more
I bought a cheap tank top from Forever 21, some blue fabric and metal rings (which I’m pretty sure are actually meant to make purses) from the local Hobby Lobby and got to work came out to something around $15 total.

I wanted to do something Anime, and I have always liked the cartoon Sailor Moon, so I decided to be Sailor Mars, because I didn’t have to do much to my hair. I bought red and purple ribbon for the sash and bow (most supplies bought at Michael’s), and glued the purple ribbon into a bow … Read more
I was Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce’s character from Austin Powers), mostly because my friends wanted to be Austin Powers and Vanessa Kensington. It ended up being a lot of fun though. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my hair to do this, so I used an Afro wig and luckily I just borrowed one my friend had from … Read more
Bought a high-low skirt from Forever 21 and bandeau from Urban Outfitters. Made the headpiece with various fruits by hot gluing to a stretchy headband. Received so many compliments and was told I had the most unique/best costume! Loved this and I’m not sure how I’ll top it this year.
This Bic Lighter was one of those last-minute costumes the day before Halloween. I used an appliance box that I spray painted, a piece of metal that I had laying around my house for the part the flame come out of. You can easily use cardboard and wrap it in aluminum foil. I used ribbon and … Read more
