Hi guys, I'm Marie! For my Homemade Halloween costume idea, I present to you this adooooorable Sheep costume!! (Can I get a baaaaahhhhh?!?!... haha, I'm corny. I know.). Keep scrolling down to see how you can make this ;)
Materials You'll Need:
For Dress and Hat.....
- White Dress (I got an affordable one at Forever 21 for under $15),
- Fabric Glue
- Lots and Lots of Cotton Balls
- Black Tights
- Long Black Sleeve Shirt
For Ears....
- Scissors
- Black and Pink Felt
- Needle and Thread
10 Easy Instructions:
- Lay the dress out on a table and place a piece of cardboard under the area you want to start at.
- Apply a lot of glue to a cotton ball, and...
- Start gluing them on the dress!
- Cover the entire dress in cotton balls
- Repeat on the other side until the entire dress is covered!
- To make the hat, begin by cutting out two ears in black and pink felt.
- Use a needle and string to sew the ends of the ears inwards a little to give them a round shape (rather than flat).
- Then sew the ears to the sides of a white beanie hat.
- Start covering the beanie with cotton balls just like you did with the dress until....
- .... the entire hat is covered.

Makeup:
To look more like an animal, I decided to do this simple makeup using my black eyeliner. Easy peasy and looks great ;)
And with that you are all done guys! This is the perfect costume for anybody who wants to wear something original, cute, and homemade. I highly doubt you will find another person dressed as a sheep, so you will be unique wherever you go!
