DIY JELLYFISH COSTUME

This is a super easy costume I threw together before a Halloween bar crawl last night. I got the idea from a Martha Stewart blog on DIY costumes. 

MATERIALS

Scissors 

Clear Bubble Umbrella - I got mine from Walmart

Cellophane

Hot glue gun

White paint

 The instructions called for small and large bubble wrap but I went with one roll of large bubble wrap. I cut 8 large strips in a wavy pattern for the tentacles and the same with the cellophane. I hot glued one bubble wrap strip and one cellophane strip together on each panel. I then cut a bunch of smaller strips of both materials and glued them to the metal bars inside the umbrella. I paired it with a sheer white dress ( I got a blue one also; any shear color looks good with it!), some white tights and ballet flats. Other ideas could be a long shear Maxi dress or a hi-low skirt. But since its October those are hard to find last minute!

WHAT WE'RE LISTENING TO AND YOU SHOULD YOU!

The Gallows by Cocorosie

Just in time for Halloween

And my sister and me having some cemetery fun. There was a Victorian burial reenactment in Boulder, with mourners ribbons and everything. Vintage hurses (hursi?) and local ghost stories til sunset.

GHOST PARTY

I came up with the idea for this little guy all by myself! Got the frame from the thrift store and spray painted it with the same spray paint I used for the lamp. The bottom edge of the ghost is just how the edging already was on the lace so it worked out perfect. I laid down the lace down on the paint while it was still wet so it would stick. Knock yourself out!
