To help you build this year's costume on a budget we've curated a selection of our favourite staples:
L to R : 1. Sequins ($2.50/pack) ... 2. Lycra waist bands (50c each) ... 3. Fill A Bag (from $5/bag) ... 4. 'Silky Hair' tails (50c each) ... 5. Ruffle triangle off-cuts (50c each) .... 6. Decorative trim (from 25c/m)
Our favourite find for a #refashioned Book Week
Lycra Seat Covers - $2.50 each
We LOVE these because we can see them being refashioned into a character from the jungle book or the 'skin' of your favourite dragon from Wings of Fire.
Available in black/white stripes, silver, gold, red and brown.
For the next 2 weeks we'll be answering customers' DIY costume requests with tips on how to recreate their favourite characters from our vast array of supplies. Follow along for inspiration!
Follow along to see how your kids can make their own animal mask from solely salvaged materials. This is a pattern for a unicorn but it can easily be adapted for dragons, long-nosed marsupials, horses (of course), cows and other bovine.
