Hello Bloggers! Ms. C here.
Now that Halloween has come around, the need for a super awesome costume for school has become high priority.
Could I buy a costume, yes, BUT
Do I like their quality ? - NO.
Do I want to pay a lot of money ? - NO
Do I have time to shop for a decent looking one? - NO
So natural solution, make your own.
DIY-ers, you know better than I do, that a need to create your own things comes on strongly during the holidays, so I just couldn't resist making my own costume.
After much contemplation, and looking through what old clothes I was throwing away, I came up with an idea. What better to be on Halloween at a school, then a Magic Teacher? Miss Frizzle and the Magic School Bus!!!
I had an old dress that was plain and an open canvas. And bought some supplies. I will give you a list of things you need to recreate this.
Hit goodwill or some second hand store, get an old plain or super crazy looking dress :D
I got mine from a friend
I bought some felt sheets
Some tape or Iron on sticky stuff, or sewing is the best solution, however it takes the longest time.
Grab some scissors laying around your house (or buy some if you need to)
Next cut out the shapes you want.
As you know Miss Frizzle wears a dress based on her day, so pick anything you would like.
I chose school themes, because I want to use it for school all the time.
Here are some other shape ideas
Now that you have it cut, you can sew, stick on, or iron on. I ironed on because I threw it together the day before Halloween, but I will go back later and sew on the pieces to ensure they stick.
Here we added on the cut outs and left to hang.
Next I made a coffee cup with my Magic School Bus
Just grab a dollar tree decorate your own cup, add in the picture and call that quits
The end product
Get Creative, Get Clever, Get Crafty
