Hats and Skirts and Ruffles, OH MY!

So this year I wanted to make the kids costumes, as usual and not have it be the same costume that someone else does. So I decided to do a witch for Morgie and Coey wanted to be a pirate. Although they are pretty generic characters I decided to make them myself so no one else would have it. I got the idea for Morgan's skirt from a tutorial on how to make ruffle tier dresses. I thought it would be pretty cute to use Halloween material to make the skirt so she could use it for her costume. I couldn't find a hat to go with it so I thought maybe I would make one with scraps I had. So after the purchase of a 48 cent posterboard here is the finished product. I usually don't brag about things I make because they usually aren't that brag worthy, don't believe me, well then you never saw the dead sock froggy. Anyways this hat took me about 3 hours to make but I think it was worth it. I just plugged in a movie and my glue gun and went to town. This is the finished product. I hope you think it's as cute as I do.

Not sure if you can tell but I also put little clear and purple gem stones on it to make it extra girly.

Notice the purple flower in the middle, well yes I did make that by hand. They are super duper easy.

I love this skirt and when I first had Morgan try it on she would not take it off. I had to let her wear it the rest of the day and hope she wouldn't get it dirty. The only thing I wish I had done differently was waiting until I bought black thread to make this. I got so excited to make it I had to use the cream color thread I already had.

Anyways I am so excited for Halloween this year for some reason. I can't wait for you to see the finished product and hopefully they will turn out as cute as I am imagining.
