DIY Mary Poppins Costume

Halloween is quickly approaching, meaning time to start thinking of what you are going to be. I find it so hard to pick a Halloween costume, mainly because I don't want to spend a ton of money on a costume. I decided I would see what I had in my closet and if I could use any of it to make a costume.  I found a black skater skirt and a button up shirt and immediately thought Mary Poppins. This costume is fairly easy to make, as many people people own these basic pieces.

Items needed for the costume

   

black skate skirt, black tights, white dress shirt, red bow, hat with white flowers

Hat and Bow

Needed: red ribbon (make into a bow), glue gun, black hat, scissors, and daisies

Glue your flowers on the hat in the pattern of your choice

Make-up

Mary Poppins make-up is pretty neutral, so I kept a neutral eye and made the focus her famous red lip.

Hair

Mary Poppins has her hair in a low bun. The best way to do your hair is to put the hat on your head, then form the bun below the hat.
