I’ve been DIY-ing my Halloween costumes since I was old enough to use a sewing machine – about age 6! My favorite by far was last year’s – my best friend and I went to a Halloween music festival as celestial beings. She was the sun, and I was the moon. I made my headpiece from some adhesive glittered foam. I cut the biggest crescent, then a mirror image of it so I could put them back-to-back and glitter from any angle. Then I added a couple more layers on the front to give it some more dimension and sewed it onto a piece of sequined elastic. It was so fun! We loved our costumes so much that we’re reprising them this year and adding even more glitter!
