Since everyone's shown off their Halloween costumes...

I'm totally proud of mine. :) I bought a little girl's polo shirt from Target and ripped the crap out of it. I covered it in "dirt" (black lipstick), "grass stains" (green marker), and fake blood. I sewed plastic spiders all over the shirt (took forever!) and onto a brown skirt and knapsack I found at Goodwill. Then I put a rubber snake around my neck and sewed the head and tail together so it looked like the head was going for my jugular. Kind of a snake necklace. Got a Brownie sash and badges on Ebay, put fake cobwebs in my braids, made a huge bruise and dirtied my face, and voila!

The shirt and makeup actually looked a lot messier in real life, but I still think it came out well. It got a lot of laughs.



This is a stupid question, but does anyone know how to get permanent marker out of a Girl Scout sash? Is it even possible? I had a little mishap...
