I decided to do my costume the cheap way this year by only using things I had on hand, enter Chelsea from Seablanket... She did an amazing tutorial on how to make your own lady bird costume over on A Beautiful Mess. I followed her tutorial and added a few of my own tweaks like making a dress from scratch instead of using a pillowcase (because my boobs will NOT fit in one of those things) and using a slightly brighter fabric because its what I had in my house. I also decided to add an owl mask to make the costume a little more obvious, so I made one from the Martha Stewart website. I didn't have any crepe paper or glue for some reason so I made mine out of cardboard and construction paper and then stitched all the pieces together. Yes, I stitched paper together. It actually turned out pretty well but I will have to wait until later tonight to post pictures of the actual costume I made because I have absolutely no idea where my camera is and its 5 am.
