Oh my gosh! This is such a fun costume and so easy to make, so if you haven’t made a decision on what you’re going as and you’re down to the wire, then this is the perfect last minute costume! I think it’s genius!

Laura with LaurDIY uses a red skirt and a white tube top to make this costume, but you can use a red dress that has straps, rather than sleeves (or a strapless one), white tank top, a red apron, or anything that’s handy…just use your imagination!  If you don’t have those, you can always find these items at a thrift store or Goodwill.

You can even make a headband with pom pom’s on it to top it off! And, of course, if you have red shoes wear them! Or, if you have an old pair you can spray paint them red…or not!

Wouldn’t “chew” love to be a gum ball machine? (I know, corny, right?) Bright and yummy and so easy to make. The top’s filled with colorful balls. A metallic silver panel features a coin slot, knob and chute door.

Watch how Laura makes this darling costume in her step by step tutorial and get busy making this great costume!
