Bookweek

Well bookweek has been and gone, Phew!! that was hectic, but Isabel loved her costume, so it was well worth it.

After finishing Isabel's costume I didn't know if I could make her teachers and my costume because of my sore back (I had a back muscle spasm, ouch).  But with a visit to the chiropractor and acupuncturist I was slowly on the mend.

I had ideas running around in my head and managed to put them into production and created the following costumes.

Princess Poppy (from "Trolls")

This ended up being fairly easy, I just made a sack dress and appliqued the flower detail on the bottom.  The top had wide ric-rac threaded through and tied over the shoulders. 

I found inspiration for the headpiece on the internet, but after continually flopping down into the teachers face I will have to do a bit of tweaking to make it stay upright.

My costume only required a cardboard box, some paint and my farm clothes.

I went as "Minecraft Steve (Ann)" from the Minecraft computer game that the kids seem to love at the moment. I even found a book about Minecraft.

With a quick google I printed off a guide to help me paint the head and off I went.  The hammer came from a Bunnings promotion and I was set to create my own Minecraft world.

Two simple costumes that didn't cost me anything but my time.

Enjoy
