Not Your Average Halloween Costume - Not Your Average Mom

You don’t need a lot of money for a Halloween costume.

I had a budget of $10.

You don’t need a lot of time, either.

I had a window of 1 hour.

I started mine at 11:00 this morning.

I was done by 11:52.

I spent all $10.

Here’s what I used:

I already had the yarn up in the office, and the cups left over from a party this summer.

So the only thing I bought was the grey dress. I got it at TJ Maxx for ten bucks.

The dress was a large — a little too big — and I needed to make it fairly form fitting.

I didn’t want to take the time to sew it, so I just folded it over in the back and pinned it.

I needed the fabric to be pulled kind of tight, so I put two pillows inside of it.

Then, with a hot glue gun, I attached the cups to the dress.

I cut out an arrow from construction paper.

Oh yes I did.

I got my yarn, made some loops, and attached them to the cups.

I put some glue around the edges of the cups to keep the yarn from falling off.

I let the glue dry, took the pillows out, and put that baby on.

FRL.
