Halloween is only a couple months away. I figured now would be a great time to share with your an outfit and Elisabeth and I made a couple of years ago.We decided to try out a costume idea that we saw on Pinterest. Have you seen the super cute DIY loofah costumes? We found our example here at this blog. The instructions that were given were VERY easy to follow and our costumes turned out exactly like the picture. We were very happy and got so many compliments! We really liked that these required no sewing and no glue… just netting and elastic!

Here is a picture of our materials: 20 yards of colored netting (below is netting for two costumes – we found our netting at Joann’s and used our 50% off coupon from their free app. The netting was regular $1.49 a yard), 4 yards of cord (that we cut in half so we each have a 2 yard strand), about 6 yards of elastic (you’ll need enough to have a loop around your bust, hips and little pieces of elastic to tie the netting to the elastic bands), headbands (that we used to attach the cord). We had clear ornaments in the picture with the intention of making bubbles but last minute decided we didn’t need them.

s I mentioned earlier, we followed the directions on the blog (link above). We measured out 8 equal (we just divided 20 by 8) sections and left the netting folded as we worked to make the process easier.

Here is Elisabeth cutting it while I am supervising. 🙂

Here is a picture of Elisabeth trying it on to see if we had the netting evenly spaced on the elastic loops. It is looking good! We placed the cording on the top just to see what it would look like.
