creating, enjoying, and living a simpler life!
I already posted the Poliwrath Costume DIY, so now here's the Butterfree Costume DIY I said was coming soon!
Poliwrath costume - can be easily made into Poliwhirl (the happier version!). Picture is a link to the 'how to.'
Also check out how to make these DIY Incredibles Costumes by clicking on the picture!
Supplies Needed:
How to:
Use a marker to sketch the design onto the wings. Be sure to have cardboard underneath because the marker (and the paint) will go through!
Then use black to paint the design.
I painted both sides of the wings because I thought it looked better.
Finished wings!
Paint the inside of two halves of an ornament red.
It takes two coats!
I drilled two holes on opposite sides of each eye so that I could sew them onto the headband. If you don't care about the headband you can simply glue them on.
Create a curl on the end of two pipe cleaners and then connect them to the headband by simply wrapping them around!
Excuse the mess in the background - it is a shared office at work!
Check our our other DIY craft ideas here and have a safe and happy Halloween!

Every year at work we have a departmental costume contest. This means we have to have a theme that is better than all the other department themes and that we all have to participate. Our department happens to have over 30 people so it is often hard to come up with really good ideas. A few years ago our theme was superhero's (Which of course there are plenty of!) so I made myself the mother from the Incredibles - Check out DIY Incredibles Costume here!
That was my favorite costume to date, especially because I always make an accompanying costume for my husband for any parties we go to.
The Poliwrath costume that this post is about would be another favorite but I didn't wear it, it was actually the costume I made for my husband. I made myself a Butterfree costume and that post will be coming soon (see below). 
As much as I like the Butterfree costume, I kind of wish I had made myself into Poliwhirl (the happy version of Poliwrath) because it would have been so much easier! You will see what I mean when you read the DIY Butterfree Pokemon Costume coming soon!
Poliwrath Costume Instructions:
Supplies:
How to:
A square of white material. This is simply a white cotton rag used for cleaning (unused of course).
I used a large dinner plate to trace a circle on the cloth.
Then I very lightly sketched in a 'swirl.'
I used a black paint marker to draw in the swirl and make the line a little thicker.
Cut it out....
And sew it onto the front of the sweatshirt!
I don't know why I didn't take pictures of how I made the eyes!
Heres what to do:
A quick shoutout to my husband for being such a good sport! xoxo

Hi there! I'm Kathie, the author behind Creating A Simpler Life blog. I'm excited to share our longterm projects (and planning) toward building our future retirement homestead in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. In the meantime I will be sharing all the other little things we do that are part of creating our simpler life!
