DIY Halloween Costume: Gumball Machine

The most difficult step in this costume is deciding how many fuzzy pom-poms you want to glue onto your clothing! If you don't have time to shop for clothing, go through your closet or ask friends and family to donate a second-hand shirt. The clothing doesn't have to be in pristine condition since it will be covered with pom- poms.

What you'll need:

• Red pants paired with a T-shirt or a red jersey dress
• Multicolored pom-poms
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Gray felt
• Black felt

Instructions:

1. Using the hot glue gun, glue pom-poms all over the top of the dress or T-shirt. Try to mix up the colors so that you don't have too many of the same color in one spot. Allow this side of the dress or T-shirt to dry.

2. Flip over the dress or T-shirt and repeat Step 1 on the opposite side.

3. Using gray and black felt, create a gumball coin slot. You can spell out "25 cents" in black letters, or just use the black felt to create a coin slot.

4. Glue the felt piece to the dress just below the pom-poms or to the bottom of the T-shirt. Allow the glue to dry.
