DIY Flower Pot Halloween Costume
Materials
- Brown leggings
- Yellow T-shirt
- Large thin basket (we purchased ours from Hobby Lobby)
- Hand saw
- Burlap
- Faux flowers
- Hot glue gun
- Tan webbing
- Wire cutters
- Burlap headband
For the Basket:
Remove the bottom from the basket using a hand saw. Glue pieces of the burlap around the bottom to cover any sharp edges.
Lay the basket on its side and start gluing the flower stems along the inside rim. Be sure to vary the height at which the flowers stick out from the basket to give the costume a less structured feel. After you finish gluing the flowers down, glue a large piece of burlap down over the stems to help keep them secure.
Cut two lengths of tan webbing to create the straps. Glue one end of one strap to the front left of the basket, then glue the other end to the back left. Repeat with the other length of webbing for the right side of the basket.
For the Headband:
Use the wire cutters to remove the stems from two to three of your remaining faux flowers, the use the hot glue gun to attach them to the side of the burlap headband.
