Halloween Post Part 1.

(Whole outfit: Made by Myself)

Hello lovelies, I hope you guys had a great Halloween weekend! I definitely had a great time. I decided to be an Native American, and made it last minute. I think it's one of my favorite costumes I made.

I had never made a poncho before so I was kinda nervous about it, but it actually came out all right. I draped it on myself and cut a point at the back and frayed it. I made a long collar in the front and attached a button to close when it got cold. I definitely kept me warm!

For the skirt, I took my boyfriends old Kr3w corduroy skate pants and turned them inside out. I cut the legs off and cut strips out of them. Then, I sewed 3 layers around the skirt and frayed them.

The breastplate took the longest to make, I spray painted straws with a bone colored white. I cut them into 2 different sizes and beaded it with hemp string. I made a simple flower design for the beads. When I was done with it, I glued the black feathers on each row.

For the headdress I took a piece of fabric from the pants and made a band. Then I made another band out of a paper grocery bag and put it on top of the fabric band. Folded it in half then glued the feathers inside. I sealed the band and attached a braided leather headband I made to it to tie around my head. I added some feather and beads and it was done!

Part 2 of the Halloween post I will post pictures of the shows I went to that my love played in.
