I always had this vision in my head (even before havin' a kid), how wonderful it would be to create my child's Halloween costume, every year.
then reality set in.
3 Halloween's later, I faced the challenge head on...
Anaya wanted to be a BUTTERFLY!
Can you believe?? I did it!! I really did it!! I MADE Anaya's Halloween costume!!
As soon as she was set on what she wanted to be. Her and I went down to the library to research all the possibilities. We came across a beautiful picture book of every kind of butterfly and moth imaginable. Anaya scanned through and chose to be a 'peacock' butterfly.
I took metal hangers and shaped them into wings. Black tights stretched over the skeleton. Hand painted and glittered them up.
I learned how to make a no-sew tutu.
black pipe cleaners for the antennas.
what a great Halloween this was!
