My Halloween costume this year... Black Widow Spider! Here is how I did it. Best part? I now have accessories that I can use for another costume instead of buying one costume that I cannot use to make others. Consider making your own costume. It is fun and I bet you won't have to worry about someone else cramping your style at this year's Halloween party. Try it!
Happy Halloween!
(The Concept)
Black Jewelry, Spider Web Eyelashes, and Skirt from Icing
Tiara, Fangs, and Spider Necklace from Spirit Halloween Store
All Craft Supplies to make this costume were purchased at Michaels
To make this costume I purchased sticky glitter foam from Michaels as well as Red Paint Markers Martha Stewart Glitter in black. Once I got home I cut out spider web shapes from the foam glitter and cut out nice black ribbon to make a bow and cover the elastic band on the skirt. I sewed the little black spiders to each piece and painted the red Black Widow Spider on each spider. I also attached one of these spiders to the black tiara. The picture below shows the finished spiders.
I spray painted the large spider I used for my belt in black. It was really a glow in the dark suction cup house decoration. After, it dried I used spray glue to adhere the glitter. I highly recommend the Martha Stewart glitter it is incredible and so SPARKLY!

After, the glitter dried on I painted the Black Widow Spider symbol using the red paint marker.
To add to my costume I had my nails done and used OPI nail polish in a cool metallic purple (I will try to find the color) and Black Shatter. I love how it looked with the costume.
The final piece... an American Apparel leotard. American Apparel really is the best go-to place for costume leotards. They also look sexy and hip for clubbin'.
