Fashion Friday (On Saturday): Simple DIY Halloween Costumes

-

So I did not have a chance to blog yesterday so I decided to just publish something today.
I was looking around on Pinterest to find simple DIY costumes that can be made with items from your closet and I found a few super simple ideas. Since I have my own Halloween party to go to today, I am just going to link my top choices below with the photos and link my search results here  if you want to see even more costume ideas. One tip that I do have is try to use eyeliner and lipstick instead of Halloween makeup if you are using simple colors or designs.


1. Identity Theft
You would probably have to buy the stickers. This costume is very clever!
















2. Minnie Mouse
These are just two versions of the way that you can dress as Minnie but the possibilities are pretty endless! You just need a pair of ears. 




















 3. Scarecrow
The possibilities for this costume are endless because you can change the shirt, boots, the way you draw your stitches, etc.These are two different versions of the scarecrow so be creative with yours.





















5. Medusa
You just need a curling iron and some rubber snakes.

















6. Thug (or Alex)
A Clockwork Orange






















7. Regina George Prank Outfit
Mean Girls

Well, you will have to ruin a tank top for this costume, its going to probably be the most simple costume that you will ever make.












8. Mia Wallace
Pulp Fiction

















9. Ty Beanie Baby
Super simple DIY to make this costume in making the TY heart. You can use the woman on the left's idea and recycle Easter Bunny ears for your Halloween costume.















10. Ghost
If all else fails, just cover yourself in a sheet. And be sure to cut holes so that you can see. :)

















**Follow me on Pinterest and I will follow you back! Let me know in the comments below what you are going to be for Halloween! Next week, I will be posting the all of the costumes that I did for my work's spirit week so stay tuned! Thank you for reading and have a great weekend!!**

What you will need: Candle Jars (Square or Round) Candle Stick Holders Ribbon (optional) All materials for this project can be found at Dollar Tree in the candle isle. They are regularly found items so this project can easily be duplicated. Directions: 1. Remove all price stickers. These are glass and we are gluing them so you are going to want a clean surface.  2. Put hot glue around the rim of the candlestick holder.It will begin to dry pretty quickly so work fast, don't worry if the glue starts to drip. 3. Place square jar on the top of the candlestick holder while the glue is still hot. It will bond pretty quickly so make sure its straight! You also don't want it to look messy. Finished Product Lip Gloss Holder   4. Repeat. For a more unique look, try putting the candle jar on a slant when gluing. This will only work with the round type jars. You will get something that looks like this: 5. Add a

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.

Trial Tuesday: Removing Scratches From Wood

If you haven't figured it out by now, furniture is not made like it used to be. For this reason, when looking for wooden pieces I usually opt for the old, heavy wooden pieces over the plywood of today. So, when I look for furniture, it's typically at a thrift store or rummage sale. I take such pride in finding pieces and repurposing them. You can take something old and make it like new with a little effort. While repainting furniture can be fun, it is even better when you find a piece that just needs a good cleaning. So when I came across the Pin below, I was very curious to see if this technique worked. TRIAL What You Will Need 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1/2 Cup Vinegar Wash Cloth Before Directions Mix vinegar and oil. Use a wash cloth to apply the mixture to your scratch. Repeat steps if necessary. After Results: FAIL Note that literally nothing happens. Now, while this scratch is pretty deep, isn't that the point? I did try thi
