Congratulations to Tammie C.,
the winner of the Value
Place "Costume to DIY For" Contest.
Tammie created the incredible upside down cheerleader costume for her daughter - check out the picture of it below:
We are pleased to provide Tammie
with a $50 Visa gift card for her money-saving, do-it-yourself creativity. Interested in replicating the costume for
your kids for next Halloween? Here's how
Tammie made it:
"I made a stuffed head and attached it to a
sweatshirt and then put the pom poms at the ends
of the sleeves with my daughter's shoes attached to the bottom. I took an
old pair of pants and cut out the front and attached a piece of black panty
hose to the front so that she could see where she was going. I attached a
pair of stuffed sneakers to large wooden dowels
that she could hold onto and attached them to the sweatshirt. Her hands
control the feet and her feet control the hands. It is hilarious."
Congrats to all of you out
there who saved money this Halloween by making your own costumes, and a special
thank you to everyone who entered our "Costume
to DIY For" contest.
