Make Your Own Halloween Costume

All it takes for a great Halloween costume and makeup is a little imagination and a bit of time set aside! So, don't miss out on that party this year because you have nothing to wear. This year, you are going to be ready!

Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz

This was a fun costume and since I bought most of it at a thrift store it was fairly easy to put together. I sprayed the shoes with Spray Mount artist's adhesive and stuck red glitter to them. The dress was a house dress that I picked up at the thrift store and just had to hem the skirt shorter. I did buy the apron new, but got one that matched my kitchen so that I could use it later. I had the basket and borrowed the stuffed Toto, who peeks out, from my niece.  My hair was long enough to braided so with a lot of blush for my cheeks a little glossy lipstick and some fairly heavy eye makeup, I became Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

Happy Halloween, Crystal
