Halloweird Weekend!

Double the fun, two weekends of Halloween costume parties! Living in a college town the costume parties seem to last year round but there's only one time of the year everyone breaks out their best & most creative ideas. It's time to break out all the DIY Pinterest ideas and old costumes that can be re-used to hit all the costume parties you can!

In case you need some ideas I'm going to display some of the best I think I found on Pinterest:

DIY Rubic Cube

Salt, Tequila & Lime 

DIY Loofah....one of my personal favorites I may have to try 

DIY Unicorn 

DIY Pinata 

50 Shades of Grey

DIY Tutu Tutorial

With it being so close to Halloween I figured this would be a very appropriate post. A tutu is an easy, cheap DIY project that can be a base to almost any Halloween costume. They've become increasingly more popular for festival outfits too. Hopefully my easy steps can help you make your very own tutu!

Materials: 

Scissors

Elastic Ribbon 

Tulle Ribbon (~6 inches in width)

How To:

Cut the elastic ribbon to be big enough to tie into a bow when around your waist. 

Then cut the tulle into strips about 18-24 inches long. 

To attach the tulle to the elastic all you have to do is fold it in half. Then keeping the elastic in the middle, pull the tulle through the loop created by the fold. Pull until secure.

Periodically, I would try on the tutu pulling it around your waist to see where you will be tying it & to see if you are putting the strips of tulle close enough together to get the full tutu look.

Suggestion: If you have a sparkle tulle ribbon leave areas to attach those pieces last, unless you wanna be Ke$ha.
