Hocus Pocus lets get focused … on none other than planning this year’s Halloween costume! With Halloween being only just a few weeks away, we thought we’d share a couple of fun, easy and low budget DIY costumes that we absolutely loved!
Cactus
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Green knitted sweater
- Pipe cleaners
- Fake pink flower
- Headband
- Glue gun
Instructions
We want your Halloween costumes to be on P O I N T and not S U C so we got just the right costume for you! This one is said to be the BEST low-maintenance house plant AND costume!
- Find a green knitted sweater and cut white pipe cleaners into small piece and fold them into “V” shapes.
- Poke them through (from the inside out) the sweater in random places around the sweater until complete. You can twist them for an extra hold!
- Hot glue a faux pink flower to a head-band and wear with your new cacti sweater!
- We promise this costume won’t SUCC-ulent! and can’t wait to see how sucCUTElent you look! (See what we did there?)
Popcorn
Here’s what you’ll need:
- White printer paper
- Yellow spray paint and/or crayon/pencil crayon
- Red/ white skirt
- White T- shirt
- White or red felt strips
- Glue gun
- Yellow shoes
Instructions:
Make sure your Halloween costume really P O P S out from the crowd and no one’s is B U T T E R than yours!
- Grab a red or white skirt and a white t-shirt! If your skirt is red then you’ll need white felt strips and if your skirt is white then you’ll need red felt strips! Cut out the strips about an inch wide and stick them to your skirt to create a red and white striped skirt, similar to a old-fashioned popcorn box!
- Get about 20 white pieces of computer paper, crumple them and either colour or spray paint different sections yellow for the “buttered” areas of the popcorn. Once completed hot glue them to your white t-shirt.
- Pair with your favourite yellow shoes and there ya go! You are ready to P O P on over to your Halloween party!
