Mum praised for epic Halloween costumes she made her daughters for free from their old Disney princess dresses

IF you’ve run out of ideas or are avoiding the shops this year, one mum shared the epic Halloween costumes she made for her daughters out of their old Disney princess dresses

The mum was praised for her thrifty idea of using her girls’ old dressing up clothes to create a scary outfit, which didn't cost a penny to make. 

The mum explained the gowns were a bit worn, but were too good to simply throw away.

So she gave them one last hurrah by turning them into unique costumes, with ‘minimal’ sewing. 

The mum shared her idea to Facebook group Family Lockdown Tips and Ideas, where more than 4,000 people have praised her creativity. 

She said: “My girls have a lot of Disney princess dresses.

“Some were not in good condition after many years but were still too good to throw out.

“So I made these.

“Not the best as I’m absolutely useless at sewing etc.”

The snaps show the girls dressed as Elsa and Snow White, with a hole cut in the skirt for their head – giving the impression they’ve been beheaded.

The mum stuffed the torso and arms, adding gloves for hands, and popped some red paint around the neck for authenticity. 

She confirmed that the outfits were from a few Halloween's ago, but they still make a good choice for parents desperately trying to think up a last-minute costume. 

The mum added: “…They won many competitions (these were a couple of years ago).

“[Daughter] lost her hands in another party too.” 

Commenting on the home-made outfits, one mum said: “They are fantastic."

Another wrote: "Genius."

While a third asked: "How do you get them to stand above the head? These are incredible."

Plus this woman’s bizarre Halloween costume has people cracking up when they finally get it, so can YOU work it out?
