Happy Halloween to all! I have always loved Halloween, not so much for the candy (but let’s be honest, that is definitely a big part of it!), but mostly for the chance to dress up. (As I have mentioned here and here, it is no secret that I love me a good costume.)
I perused around Pinterest for some ideas, and found this Owl Costume. Since I am mainly dressing up for the children at work and the trick-or-treaters tomorrow night, I thought I should be somewhat recognizable to the kiddos. So to the children at the very least, I will be a bird.
This was definitely a feat, even though the intructions described this as both “quick” and “easy.” Probably quick and easy for a kid version, but I was not prepared for the amount of cutting involved! BUT, while it was time consuming, I was happy to get into the crafting vibe again. It has been too long!
So after much tracing…
cutting…
and gluing…
I have a crazy owl costume for the kiddos. (The fabric glue is drying, otherwise I would show you what the whole getup looks like. Stay tuned, though!)
In the meantime, here is a photo of me in my mask. Hubs has deemed it too creepy to wear right on my face (I sort of agree), so I will opt to wear it as an “owl-face headband” of sorts.
“hoo!”
