Sometimes, kids don’t want to be their favorite superhero or cartoon character for Halloween. Sometimes, they want something completely unique. Like this Creeping Vine Costume. It might not be as exciting as being a Disney Princess for Halloween, but if your child dresses up like Ivy this year, chances are they’ll be the only one. Which is halfway towards winning the annual Halloween costume contest. And the fact that this costume takes only 15 minutes to pull together is a bonus!
I created this costume as part of Craft Lightning week. This week, along with my friends Angie from The Country Chic Cottage, and Jen from 100 Directions, as well as our crafty friends around the internet, we’re sharing fast and fun Halloween crafts. And I’m sharing 15 minute or less costumes all week long! Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post to check out their projects, and be sure to check out my costumes from earlier this week – the mushroom costume and toga costume.
To make this costume you’ll need:
The “trellis” which is created from a wood-cut from American Crafts that I found in the scrapbook aisle
Ivy (the garland-style ivy that’s a little fuller) – BUY TWO
Green Ribbon
Scissors
Green shirt
I tied the ribbon to the top of the wood-cut.
This was hung over my son’s head, while wearing the green shirt. If you look closely, you can see it is an inside-out Christmas shirt.
Using a little more ribbon, I loosely tied one garland to each of his ankles.
Then loosely wove it up into the wood-cut.
DONE!
This costume isn’t very expensive or complicated… but is sure to get a lot of comments on Halloween. And it is easy enough to adjust it for an adult to wear as well.
