LaCroix Costume DIY!

Esther is 4 and she loves LaCroix water! She drinks it every night I allow her to (especially on Friday night movie + pizza night…because the more bubbly, the better on those fun nights 🙂
So when she asked if I could make her a LaCroix costume, why would I say no? And then when she asked if I could also make myself a matching one, my heart melted! OBVI! 🙂

This costume took not much time at all (and I realize people say that often, BUUUUUT this one is essentially 4 materials) and within a 1/2 day (or so) I had these costumes done!!!

MATERIALS:

  • Canvas type fabric (we used 3 yards for both Mom/Daughter costumes)
  • Paint in various colors for choice of LaCroix flavorBrushes
  • Hot Glue gun
  • Wire or coat hangers
  • Pliers (needle nose are prob best)
  • Elastic or ribbon for shoulder straps
  • Ribbon or headband for pop top
  • Cardboard
  • Metallic paint or spray paint

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. MEASURE BODY + CUT FABRIC:
    Measure your fabric against your body and cut to the desired length + width. Be sure that you give yourself enough clearance to be walking around in the costume.

2. PAINT!
Mix the colors needed and begin to paint the background colors of the can. Reference the can or a photograph of your desired flavor for precise details of where to paint what colors 🙂 Basically the painting will be broken up into 3 “layers”: The background main colors, the brighter accents + underneath blue swooshes and the the lettering! Start in the background and work towards the brighter accents and finish with the lettering, You can make this process as simple or complex as desired 🙂

3. Lettering + add finishing details 
Add the “LaCroix” lettering along with any other words that you want on the can. You can choose to draw + paint this on OR you can use a Cricut to cut out the lettering if you want to! The LaCroix lettering I eye-balled (it’s way easier than you think cease this font isn’t exact) and the font for the other wording of the LaCroix can is called: Chalet 1970 (you can purchase the font or find a similar one for free if you want to just print off the lettering).

4. Wire + Glue
With pliers, unwind your coat hanger (or wire) to be straight and then begin working it in a circle for the top part of the can. Basically you will use the coat hanger as a “stabilizer” to make the can easily in a circle around your body. Use hot glue to glue the wire to the top inside (about 1″ down from the top inside) of the can. Work the wire around the inside of the can and begin to shape the canvas into a circle.
When you’ve reached the “beginning” again, you can glue the 2 vertical sides together to finish forming your circle 🙂

5. Arm holes + Straps
Use a cup, bowl or something circular to draw arm holes in the spots where you want them to be. Then cut out with scissors. With hot glue + ribbon, you can add shoulder straps to the top inside of the costume for added support (I only added them to Esther’s….mine didn’t need them as it was stable from the armholes alone….but if you plan to run around in costume all night, the straps would be a nice addition).

6. Pop top headband 🙂
With some extra cardboard, trace and cut out the pop top and spray with metallic paint. Hot glue the top to a headband or extra piece or ribbon for the hairpiece! 🙂
Template for the pop top is HERE!

One of my most favorite things about painting is t One of my most favorite things about painting is that it 9284% transforms any space! Like, this very usual under the stairs spot in our house is fastly becoming a happy, play space for our kids. I kinda wish I could paint rainbow stripes in my closet or bathroom now too!! 🎨
And yes, I diiidddd use our cross country skis to make these straight edge lines. Gotta use what you got, eh!? ❤️😂 🎨
When the world feels so dark I want to be the bear When the world feels so dark I want to be the bearer of light (and color....always more color too)! 
But don’t worry, I won’t drink my paint or paint with my coffee today! 😂 Just eager to start a new project with some fresh color in a secret space for my kiddos. 🎨

Swipe to see years of Christmas Eve pics against the light of our Christmas tree that make me smile so gosh darn big 🎄Merry Christmas and may you find light tonight and this week and the rest of this holiday season. ❤️

I mean, can we all just take a queue from Maria when she tells us to list off our favorite things when we feel scared, mad, hurt, sad or anything in between?!?! Heck, I feel like even singing them like Maria would be the most helpful in the shenanigans of 2020, right? 

Don’t forget to snag the free printables for this holiday garland and watch The #SoundofMusic airing on ABC, tomorrow night, December 20! :)
