Homemade “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” Costume

Where our idea came from – My friend and I almost peed our pants the first time we saw the Geico commercial where the man is explaining to the woman that her “bird in the hand” is in such great shape, that if it went to auction, he thinks that it would definitely be worth “two in the bush”. Too funny! When we were trying to come up with a great homemade Halloween costume, we both just started laughing hysterically and were both thinking of the same idea.

How we put it together – We bought the three birds and the foliage from a craft store. We wired the two smaller birds to the foliage and attached it to the front of my pants. My friend held the larger bird in her hand. We affixed stickers on our shirts to look like equal signs, indicating that a bird in the hand is equal to/worth two in the bush.

Extra Tip – If you are going to attend a Halloween party that will be in the dark, you can do what we did and place two small glow bracelets around the two small birds in the bush. It illuminates them perfectly!

Look at that pretty bird!  It really is worth two in the bush.
