DIY--- UNICORN COSTUME

COVER1sm

Halloween season is upon us and dressing up is really my ultimate thing to do!!! I've always been obsessed with Halloween, perhaps even more then my children. I love the idea of becoming different characters once a year. This year I was the magical, mystical creature... "BIKER ROCKER UNICORN"
I came up with this costume because every year my friends throw a huge themed Halloween party. This year, the theme was "From Dusk Till Dawn" the famous Quentin Tarantino movie. In the movie, there is a biker bar where everyone becomes a vampire. Now I didn't want to just be a biker vampire chick, I wanted to be a unicorn dammit...so the "BIKER ROCKER UNICORN" was born.

This wig from eBay
The bangs were so long I had to give my wig a hair cut! However this seller is in Illinois so the shipping was super fast if you're crunched for time.

Now, for the fun part! My magical, unicorn horn. At first I found some wonderful options, (wig included) in this Etsy shop. However I had absolutely no time for shipping. So I did the next best thing. Ran over toMichael's and Home Depot to make the horn myself.
What you'll need...

Styrofoam cone, I bought the small size
Glitter Blast, glitter spray in Starry Night
RUST-OLEUM Universal paint and primer in Black Gloss
Once you spray the cone, wait for it to dry, about five hours. Then the fun part of studding begins. I bought these studs on eBay, however you can get them at any craft store.
