Homemade Smarty Pants Halloween Costume
Almost every year I make my own costume. I was at my youth group with no clue as to what I was going to be. Someone asked me a question and, of coarse, I knew the answer. But I gave her a little more information than she wanted and she said, "You can be such a smarty pants..." and well I thought that would be a cool, yet funny, costume.
How I made it was really simple. I taped "Smarties" candies to my pants. For added effect; I did some really elaborate make-up, a cheap necklace, some present ribbon, and I color-sprayed my hair. This was a really fun costume!
Extra Tips: Wrap the tape ALL the way around the smarties candy. So when the twisted part of the candy is facing you the tape resembles a horse-shoe. If you tape them loosely the candies will fall off easier.
Total cost: $5.00
P.S. You may have to spend more depending on the cost of candy and hair spray in your area.
Enjoy!!!
