I can’t take credit for this seriously cute idea, but luckily my creative friend, Krista, said I could share it with you. Just what am I talking about? These DIY Glitter Sunglasses she made for her Beanie Boo loving daughter! A campground they were staying at was having a Halloween in July party and kids were encouraged to wear costumes for trick or treating and a costume contest. Her daughter, Everleigh, chose to be a Beanie Boo and Krista got creative! She made these glitter sunglasses, a DIY TY tag, some felt ears and a tail to create an adorable DIY Beanie Boo costume! Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the whole get-up, which took 2nd place in the contest and earned Everleigh a crisp $20 bill!
