Hope your Halloween is devilish!!

I made this costume for my daughter. It cost me about $5!! The ears and pitchfork are from the Dollar Store . Caileigh tends to not leave headbands in, so I cut the ears off the band and glued them onto clips that I clipped in her pig tails. The tutu is made from a roll of red and black tulle. I loved the costume, Caileigh resorts to tears when she sees it!

The photo was taken by my friend Kathy.. She's wonderful- Check her out! Kathleen Hertel Photography

 The rest of the pictures were taken by me!
