DIY post...lots of fall fun!

So since fall is my favorite season (so many beautiful colors!!) I thought I would do a little DIY post on some fun fall projects!!

Katie of Skunkboy Creatures had this great idea for a Halloween costume!! I'm pretty sure my little sister id going to use this one!

Raggedy Ann Doll:

I love his costume cause you can find most of the outfit around the house, and what you don't already have, you can easily find at a second-hand store, or, in the case of the wig, make it yourself!!

You'll need: Red yarn cut to desired length (mine was 40 inches), felt strips (10 x 2 inches), scissors, embroidery floss or thread, 2 hair combs per wig...


Here's how to make a simple yarn wig with a middle part: Steps 1-3: Gathering your yarn together, find the center. Using your felt strip as backing, begin sewing small sections with a backstitch. The area you are stitching together will end up being your center part. Steps 4-6: Continue sewing on small sections until you reach the end of your felt strip. Once it is completed, flip it over. Starting at the same spot you began sewing on the yarn, stitch a comb onto the "front" of your wig. After you've gotten the comb on, trim the ends of your wig and try it on!

For some adorable bangs, you can easily take a shorter length of yarn, find the front/center of your wig and stitch that on in one chunk. Just like real hair, you will need to trim them to the desired length.

To complete this super cute look, style the wig with pigtails, braids, bows and flowers! Wear a fun outfit and be sure to OVER-accessorize by adding bows, aprons, tights and cute details. Enjoy!!
