So i know that this post is a bit different form anything else ive done before! But for those of you who love fancy dress parties or Halloween this will be the post for you!
A few months ago i was invited to a birthday party, only to find out 1 day in advance that it was a dress up party! CRAP.....i was thinking, gees what am i going to wear!
All the costume shops where i live were all booked out and they are super pricey aswell!
So i decided to make my own!
This way your guaranteed a 100% unique costume, that you can have forever and reuse!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
- Green singlet dress- Supre $12
- Hot Glue Gun- Bunnings $8
- Green Fabric (can use a few different shades if you like) 2 mts of each $20 fabric shop
- Saftey Pins, Needle & Thread & Scissors- $10 Craft Shop
- Leaves- From the garden
- Old Head Band
OK LETS START!
1- Wear the Dress. This is the best way to see how it will hang and sit on your body when your wearing it.
2- Start with some of the green fabric- Im using the darker green silky fabric
Using the saftey pins pin the fabric to your dress. I started the fabric from my sholder.
Then moved down to my waist and so on! Go crazy you can make some really cool shapes!
3- Carefully take the dress off. Find the section where the saftey pins are
4- Take the needel and thread and start sewing each section to the dress
SO MUCH FASTER & EASIER!
6- Now with the patterned green fabric- draw out leave shapes and cut them out! Cut out lots of different sized =D
7- Take the hot glue gun and glue the tips of the leaves to the dress. I placed mine where the sewing was, but you can put it anywhere you like! I also glued some on the shoulder parts of my dress.
8- If you like glue on real leaves as well! This will give a really realistic feel to your costume
I decided to use real leaves, cos they are free! IF you were to buy fake leaves you need heaps and it adds up $$$
LET THE BOTH DRY for at least 12hrs!
AND YAAAy your all done!
I hope you have found this helpfull! Please let me know what you think and if your going to give it a go!
