Hello everyone!! If you follow me on Instagram (find me @mariemcgrathpty), you probably already know that my real costume for Halloween this year was this colorful Piñata costume!!! You all know that I am a very cheerful person who is also a big fan of bright colors, so this happy piñata costume just seemed like the perfect fit for someone like me. You can make this costume too!, just follow the bellow instructions:
En Español - Hola a todos! Si me siguen en Instagram (Pueden encontrarme @mariemcgrathpty), probablemente ya saben que el disfraz que me puse para este Halloween fue de una piñata! Todos ustedes seguramente ya saben que soy una persona muy alegre que le gusta mucho los colores, así que este disfraz de piñata me pareció perfecto para alguien como yo. Ustedes también pueden hacer este disfraz!, sólo tienen que seguir los siguientes instrucciones:
Clothing:
I made this piñata dress myself using a regular dress, crépe paper, and fabric glue! Bellow is a step by step tutorial on how you can make it as well!
Ropa:
Hice este vestido de piñata yo misma usando un vestido normal, papel crespón, y pegamento especial para telas! Aquí les dejo con un "tutorial" paso a paso mostrando cómo puedes hacerlo tú también!
To make this piñata costume, you just need to follow the next steps:
- Start by stretching out the dress with a piece of cardboard or anything else long and flat you may have available.
- Cut a long strip of crépe paper and then cut fringe along the entire strip.
- Use fabric glue to apply the crépe paper on the bottom edge of the dress
- Repeat the same process with as many (or few) colors as you like until you cover the entire side of the dress (I used 5 colors).
- Flip the dress around (carefully) and repeat the entire process on the other side.
- Cover the straps of the dress (if any) with smaller strips of crépe paper with fringe.
And you are all done!
Para hacer este disfraz de piñata, sólo tienes que seguir los siguientes pasos:
- Comienza estirando el vestido con un pedazo de cartón o cualquier otra cosa larga y plana que tengas disponible.
- Corta una tira larga de papel crespón y luego corta franjas a lo largo de toda la tira.
- Utiliza pegamento para telas para aplicar el papel crespón al borde inferior del vestido.
- Repite el mismo proceso con la cantidad de colores que quieras hasta que cubra todo ese lado del vestido (yo utilice 5 colores diferentes)
- Dale la vuelta al vestido (con cuidado) y repite todo el proceso en el otro lado.
- Cubre las tiritas del vestido (si los hay) con pequeñas tiras de papel crespón con flecos.
Y con eso ya terminastes!
Piñata Hat:
I made this fun piñata hat very similar to the way I made the dress. Use a birthday cone hat as a base and then apply strips of colorful crépe paper using white glue. Finish off with some strips of crépe paper coming out of the top part of the hat.
Sombrero de Piñata:
Hice este sombrero divertido de piñata muy similar a la forma en que hice el vestido. Use un sombrero de cumpleaños en forma de cono como base y luego apliqué tiras de papel crespón de colores usando goma blanco. Terminé con unas tiras de papel crespón saliendo de la parte superior del sombrero.
Accessories:
I used a piñata stick as a prop so that everyone would be sure to understand what I was. My mom also bought me this cute Hello Kitty piñata so that I could use it as a purse :)
Accesorios:
Decidí usar como accesorio un palo de piñata para asegurarme de que todos entendieran en verdad de qué estaba disfrazada. Mi mamá también me compró una piñata adorable de Hello Kitty para usarlo de cartera ;)
And with that you are ready to be a piñata for Halloween!! This makes a great couple costume as well, just have your friend/boyfriend dress up as a Mexican with a big sombrero and funny moustache ;)
Y con eso estás lista para ser una piñata para Halloween!! Esto también funciona para hacer un disfraz en pareja, sólo necesitas que tu amigo/novio se disfrace de mexicano con un sombrero grande y un bigote chistoso ;)
I hope you all enjoyed all the Halloween costumes from this year! Thank you all so much for your support :)
Espero que hayan disfrutado de todos los disfraces de Halloween que hice este año!! Muchísimas gracias por todo su apoyo ;)
