It's that time of the year again when kids dress up in different United Nations' costumes. This year, my daughter was chosen to represent Spain. And if you have been reading this blog, you will know that i am not really fond of buying ready-to-wear National costumes because kids usually only get to use them once (check out our
Spanish Matador and
Prince William DIY costumes).
So i started doing my research and found some costume ideas online such as this.
With the help of my creative director (
read: Yaya Jovy), we started thinking of how to execute Dawn's outfit. I searched through my cabinet and found an old tube top that i thought would make for a good base for the outfit. Jovy cut out two holes from the top to fit the arms and altered the bodice fit Dawn's petite frame.
Then she attached a hotel laundry bag at the bottom to hold the red and black crepe paper.
And the sewing of the black and red crepe paper began.

So you see, it doesn't cost much to create a fun UN Day costume. All you need is some creativity and a bit of hardwork.
Share links of your costumes with us so others will also be inspired :)
