DIY Deer Costume

2:35 PM

Here is a great last minute costume idea; diy deer costume for a little girl. When I say last minute, that's literally what I mean. My girls were going to be rainbow dash and pinkie pie for our Halloween party last weekend, but when I attempted to spray paint their hair, it turned into a disaster and lots of tears were shed. My 5 yr old was bawling because she got a drop of colored hair spray in her mouth and she thought she was going to pee rainbow. No child, as funny as that is, I don't think it's true. Then, my 2 yr old's scalp had a bad reaction to it, so I wasn't the happiest mommy at the moment. I turned to Pinterest and saw this cute photo which was the inspiration for my girl's last minute costumes.




For the makeup, I used a light shimmer cream around the eyes and down the nose. Then, I used my bronzer and laid it on a little thick on the cheek bones and around the rest of the face. I used white face paint and applied it to the cheeks with a q-tip. Then I applied eyeliner, brown eye shadow, mascara, and false lashes. Use dark brown eye shadow for the tip of the nose. Top it off with some shimmery nude lipstick and a headband with twigs from the backyard. All Done!



Wear brown clothes from head to toe unless you happen to have a deer shirt like my little girl did. Add a couple of manly hunters and you have a cute last minute family costume idea.

Sisters Meg and Steph discovered that while living the life of poor, newlywed, college students, with fresh little babies in the middle of The Great Recession they could still have what they needed and wanted if they got to work and created things with their own hands. This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.
