Frugal Halloween Costumes:
Ladybug
I have a great idea
for a ladybug costume that I made last year. My daughter was only 1 year old at
the time. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a $2.00 black t-shirt with snaps and
two pieces of red felt. I had some black t-shirt paint left over from another
project. I took a dish and traced a circle on the felt, then I painted black dots on it. I cut the felt in half
and had wings for my butterfly. You can pin them on so you can reuse the shirt
later. If its cold you can put black leggings on your child. The antennae was
made out of the fuzzy pipe cleaners and then I glued 2 pom poms on the ends. --

Use a red vest or
shirt with the arms cut off. Cut out black spots of felt and glue
on. Super easy and cute! -- Kim from MN
Materials needed: 2
red posterboards, black leotard and tights, wide black ribbon, headband with
those styrofoam balls on the end, black tissue fabric. Make the ladybug
"shell" with the posterboard and connect them using the black
ribbon. Hang this on the shoulders (like those old-fashioned sandwich
board advertisers). Cover the styrofoam balls on the headband with the
tissue/fabric for antennae. Wear the leotard and tights underneath the red
poster board. -- Susan from TX
