Halloween is coming up soon. . .

With halloween around the corner, I thought I would share our budget friendly costumes from last year. I don't like to spend much on a costume that will be worn once and then tossed aside. So here we go. . .

First up is the purple fairy. . . The wings and skirt came from wally world. :) The black shirt and leggings we already had. The purple hair headband came from Dollar Tree. Oh, and Dollar Tree also had some fairy dust that I sprinkled on my two little fairies. :)

Next, is my little cowgirl. :) The skirt, shirt, and boots we already had. I created the vest from my stash of fabrics. The hat came from Dollar Tree and I just added a strip of cowhide fabric to it. :)

Then, we have another fairy (the flower fairy. . . hence the flower wand). The wings and green hair headband came from Dollar Tree. Everything else we already had. The flower wand came from the year before when the current cowgirl wanted to be a flower fairy. I made it from taping some stems of artificial flowers together and then gluing ribbon around that.

And, last is my little ladybug. She was a ladybug the year before as well but wanted to wear those wings and antenna again. Sounded good to me. :) Actually, she was going to be a cowgirl along with her older sister and then changed her mind at the last minute. I made the wings from using this tutorial. . . Instead of the hat we decided on a headband from the dollar store and hot glued the bottom of the antenna to the headband. This makes a really cute costume!

I think we bought some costumes from wally world when they were clearanced last year. So maybe those will be acceptable for halloween fun this year. :) If not, I may be getting creative again soon to create some low cost costumes. What will you be creating this year??
