DIY Halloween Costume: Grapes

Pay tribute to one of the most popular fruits with a DIY costume that doesn't involve sewing or any other special skills.

Pair this shirt with anything from your usual wardrobe, including leggings or jeans. When you're buying balloons, you can buy different hues of purple, if you'd like.

Instructions:

1. Blow up the purple balloons.


Safety pins

2. Prick the tied bottom of a balloon with a safety pin, then attach it to the shirt. Repeat for each balloon. Try to space the balloons as close together as you can so your shirt isn't visible.

3. Try on the shirt and check the spacing of the balloons, shifting them around or adding more if you'd like.

4. Connect the balloons by applying double-sided tape to the sides of each balloon. Stick them together, applying more tape if necessary, until all the balloons are connected.

5. Using green felt and scissors, cut felt into a leaf shape. (It doesn't have to be perfect!)


Headband

6. Using the hot glue gun, attach the felt leaf to the side of the headband.
