Transcript

Is officially day three of making my shark worst costume for Lollapalooza. And as you can see, we have already finished making the base outfit. This means the last step of this project is to make the accessories. To match my crazy outfit, I wanted to make an equally as crazy bad to match. So I collected all of our leftover trim to make my vision come to life. During this process though, I was starting to have a couple of doubts because things were going suspiciously well. Wait, this is so easy. I feel like it's going way too fast. Something's wrong. And it turns out out I spoke a little bit too soon. Because when we took a step back, we realized Yeah. It's giving ballerinas. I was conflicted because I didn't love it, but I also didn't quite hate it either. However, at this point, I was forced to continue because I was already halfway done, which means I had no choice better to trust the process. Time to bedazzle. And after working some of my DIY magic Tada. Done. The bag actually turned out really freaking cute. Tier to make the leg warmers. No fun fact, fact, I have never made leg warmers before, but these were again surprisingly easy. All you have to do is measure how much fabric you need. Five layers. Find the length of your elastic, try it on. Will they fit? Oh.
