Yes, it is only September. However, this mom has two kids that have requested some very elaborate costumes, so I have to start early. Before I know it I will be having to start in December for the next Halloween. Haha!!
So, I was sworn to secrecy what they will be, but I wanted to share a small hint for Maddie's costume this year. This is her wig. I started by unwinding a full speil of yarn and then I sewed it onto old top of Maddie's dance tights to make a wig cap. Once it was sewn in place, it was time to start braiding and placing onto the mannequin. I used fabric glue to keep the wig more natural, but I hot glued the bun in place. Once the glue dried, I also added a hair band. Then started painting using acrylic paint. I painted everything a dark grey, then kept getting lighter and lighter to add more depth. Have any guesses as to what she will be?
