As promised, I'm back today to share what I came up with for Halloween this year. As you can see...Little Red Riding Hood! I'm not sure what prompted the idea, but after I came up with it I went with it because all I needed to do was make a cape.
Since I'm not the best crafter in the world, I was pretty proud of the cape I pulled off. It was more labor intensive than I thought it would be (I imagined it would be possible to do it without sewing...it's not), but it still only took about an hour, and it only took that long because I stitched it by hand. I used
this how-to (which was by far the best of all the ones I looked at) in case you ever need to make a cape. You know, all those random cape-making needs. ;)
Everything else was stuff I owned. This was a great costume, because basically you get to wear a fleece blanket around, plus you can put all of your stuff in the basket.
Don't forget to check out the other chicas and see what they put together!
You are such a cute Red Ridding Hood!!! I love this costume.
ReplyDeleteGreat costume! I'm not sure what I'd do with a cape other than costume-ing, but it sounds like fun! I may have to attempt making one someday.
ReplyDeletei LOVE that costume! and where did you get those fabulous socks?!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They're just thigh highs from target that I folded down into knee socks.

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!! I love homemade costumes, especially the ones that rely heavily on what's already in your closet!
