DIY LOOFAH COSTUME
Inspiration
What you will need
- 10-20 (I got 20) yards of tulle fabric
- scissors
- yarn (same color as your tulle)
- measuring tape
- elastic or elastic head band
- needle and thread
- white twisted rope
- Tube dress or tube shirt and shorts same color as tulle
I got all my supplies from Hobby Lobby. I used a 40% off coupon and it only cost no more than $20
1st start by cutting your 20 yards of tulle into 10 equal length pieces. Each piece will be 2 yards in length. 1 yard is 3 feet so each piece should be 6 feet. *FYI: the tulle should come already folded DO NOT unfold!
2nd take each 2 yard piece of tulle and fold it into half, then another half.
3rd take the elastic and measure your bust line and waist line. Then you will cut the elastic and sew the ends together. (if you are using a elastic headband there is no need to cut.)
4th cut 10 small pieces of yarn about 5 inches each. You'll be using these to hold the tulle together that you created in step 2.
5th now take 1 of the yards of tulle and scrunch it together like a fan. Take 1 piece of the 5 inch yarn you created in step 4 and tie it in the center of the tulle pieces. DO NOT CUT OFF THE EXTRA PIECES OF YARN LEFTOVER.You'll do this to all 10 pieces
6th take 5 of the 10 pieces you created in step 5 and tie the extra yarn onto the elastic or headband that you created in step 3.
7th take the twisted rope and tie it onto the elastic band. That will be the hanging rope that's part of the loofah. YOU ARE ALL DONE!!!
Putting on the costume
put on tube dress or tube shirt and shorts, place the 2 "tutu's" on your waist line and below your bust line. The tube dress will not look right when you first put it on. This is when your handy dandy fingers come in. Start fluffing the tulle in between the folded parts of the tulle. You can also cut the folded parts of the tulle to make it fluffier. Accessorize with glitter spray paint for wet look, or add white balloons to it, so you can get the suds look! =) I prefer not to wear heels with this.
I forgot my rope :(... please don't mind the hair!
I got this idea off of pintrest.
