Our friends, Mary and Jim had a Halloween party
this year, so we needed to find costumes.
My husband, Stan, came up with the idea of a Gnome. He used paper bags to make the hat and mushrooms, then sprayed them with red and white paint. He then used a box to have the illusion of a toad stool. The bearded mask added the look for the Garden Gnome.
I used some old shoes. Then glued them with fall leaves and butterflies.
I found the gown at the thrift store. Bought the wings and made the crown. Then added more butterflies all over. Thanks to my neighbor, Jackie, with her idea to attach them with sticky dots. The Gnome and the Woodland Fairy had a great time at the party.
Love the costumes:)
