This halloween I want to dress as a peacock but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a costume. Here are my easy steps for a peacock costume for under $25.
Step 1: The Outfit
Find a cute blue dress online and sew a similar dress for $12
The dress on the left is the one I found online. The dress on the right is the one I made with fabric from Joann's
Step 2: The Shoes
A friend gave me these shoes this summer. They were too big for her but they are perfect for my costume. Thanks Lauren!
In order to pull off the this look you will need some serious eye makeup. Here are a few ideas I found online. The first one is my favorite. I bought four bright eyeshadows in greens, blue and bronze from Sally's beauty supply for $4 altogether.
Step 4: The Feathers of course!
I wanted a hairpiece that would really stand out and provide the feathers to complete the peacock look. I found an already assembled feather arrangement at Joann's and altered it to fit my project for only $5. I will probably also paint some feathers on my arms to really stand out.
Below are pictures from Halloween. With me are Adrienne and Brandy, They were a panda and bamboo. (So cute)
Close up of my face makeup. I used colorful eyeshadow and for the bronze outline I used metallic craft paint (it came off really easy with warm water and a wash cloth)
My hairpiece..I didn't get the best photo, but I think this one will work
