PETS: DIY pinata costume

Studio DIY likes to create fun costumes for their cute little chihuahua and last year sweet little Bella dressed up as a (very fitting) pinata!  To create your own little pinata you’ll need to get some different colors of crepe paper, cut them into fringe then hot glue them to a regular dog sweater.  Grab a mini sombrero hat and your pup is ready for a Halloween fiesta!

ADULT: DIY tinker bell costume

Maegan (courtesy of Babble) showed us how she easily created a DIY tinker bell costume that’s sure to please all the Disney lovers out there.  She took a solid green dress, cinched up the skirt a bit, added some tulle as a belt and hair sash then added a yarn pouf to her simple heels to get that tinker bell shoe look.  Top of the look with a wand and some glittery makeup and you have a magical look!
