If you think I forgot about the very last installment of the 2019 costume project, you are mistaken. I snuck in the last December costume right on New Years Eve (because how in the heck doesn't December fly by faster and faster every single year?!) OY!We had many empty boxes lying around the house from Christmas (thanks Target for sending Sven the reindeer in the largest box on earth) so I decided to take a few hours (and it only took literal hours) to whip up a cardboard box gingerbread house ... continue reading...
DIY Friendship bracelet costume!
Because I've been on a friendship bracelet kick since we hit the road on a bus with a bunch of students to Montana this past summer, I thought it only appropriate that I just *HADDDDD* to make a friendship bracelet costume before the end of this costume challenge this year! And this costume is LITERALLY one of the easiest out there.....fast and, quite frankly, very satisfying as you're making it because it comes together right before your eyes! ... continue reading...
A yarn ball costume DIY!

A DIY picnic table costume + an homage to my creative Mom!
This month is an homage to a costume that my Mom had made when I was in high school. I was trying out for the varsity hockey team my Freshman year and didn’t have my license to drive myself yet. So, my Mom came to pick me up on the last day of try-outs, which happened to be Halloween. I came out of the ice rink, sweaty and tired only to look up and see MY MOM walking towards me wearing a picnic-table costume complete with a can of sprite and blue plastic cup hot glued to a hat! Um. ... continue reading...
