Katie wants to be an owl for Halloween. Owl costumes are hard to come by in a non toddler size so I felt pretty stuck. But after a few minutes in the thrift store, I found this hat--- $1.50.
And I think we are on our way to an owl costume. Bought two $2.00 sweaters that will be some how be transformed into an owl costume....stay tuned.
In our hunt, Col came across a shawl which I believe is hand knitted that had a knitted rosette on the front....that promptly got caught off when I was contemplating it as part of the owl. Then, into a headband. Hot glue gun and a non slip head band---pretty cute!
And now, for $2.50 and Katie has a pretty fall look. Gotta love a hot glue gun, some imagination and a thrift store.

WAY too stinkin' cute. I want one! I am a lover of thrift stores. I visit 2 every Monday night when Maddie is at class. I always find something. Good for you for working it out! LOVE it!

I know you're already in the throws of Katie's costume, but if you were thinking of ways to maybe tweak the shawl... ???
Just thought I'd pass it along!
