Frugal Halloween

A wonderfully talented friend made the kids costumes again this year. Pictures of those to come after Halloween. The one thing I needed for Hannah's costume was a hat for her Jessie costume. Online they sell for around $12-$15 plus shipping. And, they have been out of stock everywhere for months. A friend of mine told me she saw red cowboy hats at the Dollar Tree. I picked one up and tonight attempted to make it look like Jessie's with the white string weaved around the edge. It is not perfect and there are a couple differences from the "real Jessie". I am pretty happy with how it came out and the total cost was A DOLLAR!

Supplies:
  • Red hat from Dollar Tree
  • Black Sharpie to mark spots for holes
  • Ruler that I found in the kids crayon box
  • Hole punch
  • Clean white shoe strings that Chris had (which can still be used since I did not cut them)
  • Jessie doll for inspiration
