My Homemade Halloween Costume

Hoo. Hoo.

Yes, it’s no longer Halloween and you are probably no longer interested in Halloween crafts, but I just had to share the Halloween costume I made on Saturday. I spotted this owl costume at Alpha Mom by Ellen Baker. Sure, the costume was designed for kids, but who cares?? I love owls and I needed a costume for a party that night! The project was relatively easy, but still crafty and fun. You could make this costume for dress-up for your kids or save for next Halloween. Great idea Ellen!

I swung by the local fabric store and picked up some fabric remnants to make the feathers. The mask is cardstock with fabric glued to the front, taped onto my sunglasses. Ellen’s project provides a template for the feathers and mask, but I was able to make both without the template. Since I do not own a sewing machine (not yet anyway, I am shopping for one), I used permanent fabric glue to affix the feathers. A sewing machine would make this project even easier. Fun times!
