Paper Toilet Roll Wig

Toilet paper rolls DIY costume
With Halloween a mere 4 weeks away, it’s time to start thinking of costumes for our cute kiddies. This adorable DIY Halloween Costume: Rollhead Toilet Paper Wig by Finns Mari Savio and Kati Rapia, who are the authors of the books JUJU and MAJA. They featured this fun tutorial in the Australian online magazine called, Papier Mache. In colonial times wigs were the in thing, but a bit hard to manage. Periwigs or perukes are styles of wigs. They were hot and expensive. This modern take on the periwig is not expensive or hot and is way to cute to pass up. This is such a fun DIY, and sure to be a hit for Halloween!
See how to make it here:

Handmade Halloween How to Host A Killer Party

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year for a few reasons.  The best part is being able to (even if only for one day) dress up as your favorite character, monster, alter-ego – whatever you want!  Second to that is the actual Halloween party.  Whether you’re hosting a kid friendly bash or adult only gathering, decorations and favors are a must have.
