![]() ![]() We found some suspenders at his grandpa’s house that put the finishing touch on his costume. ![]() All he would need is a beard and hat and he could just wear his typical shorts shirt and hiking boots. My boyfriend doesn’t like to dress up a lot for Halloween so I figured a garden gnome would be the perfect costume for him. Then I got this idea for animal Halloween costumes for the two of us. My boyfriend and I were cleaning up the property around his grandpa’s house when we found a couple of garden gnomes. ![]() If you ever want to make animal Halloween costumes, this is very easy to make! I didn’t want the ends to poke my feet so I edged the whole shoe with ribbon and added a little bow. I bought a pair of heels from a thrift store and hot glued the feathers on. To get the shape on the beak you need three different pieces: Two sides and middle, this will ensure a more curved shape. Again everything was hot glued into place. For the headpiece I used a plain headband, more feathers and cardboard. I wanted the dress to be short but to make sure it wasn’t inappropriate. This technique also helps give the dress a better fit. To cover the raw edges at the bottom of the bodice I sewed on a wide strip of pink grosgrain ribbon. As a base I made a simple shift dress and hot glued different shades of pink feathers all over the top portion. This is the ultimate girly girl costume! I ordered feathers from the internet it was the only way to make sure I had enough of the same color. Costume by Meghan A., Fredericksburg, Virginia ![]()
