Easy DIY Indian Costume Tutorial

I am one of those adults that LOVES an opportunity to dress up. Last year for Halloween, I wanted a simple costume for trick or treating made with mostly stuff I already had. I looked at my tribal leggings and thought “Indian!” Most of the Indian costumes I saw on Pinterest were extremely revealing and that doesn’t work for me! I love how this is modest but still really fun. It was perfect for that cool fall night in west Texas 🙂

**I’m gathering my friends favorite DIY costumes they have made themselves and would LOVE for you to share yours with me. Just email me at deonnawade@gmail.com with a picture of your costume and a few sentences about how it was made. It might be shared on my next Halloween blog post 🙂

All you need is:

tribal patterned tights
mocassins or some short suede boots
matching tunic top
leather headband or leather chord
feathers from the craft store
t-shirt yarn for the necklace (here is how I made it)
some craft paint for your face
turquoise or beaded jewelry

Here are some close up pics of my costume:

The necklace was my FAVORITE part of the costume. I made it with some t-shirt yarn from Lion Brand (got it at Walmart.) Click here to see my video tutorial of how to make the fringe necklace.

For the head dress, I bought some leather chord from the craft store, braided it together, and glued a few white feathers to the side. I used some coral craft paint for my “war paint” and it washed off really easy when the night was over.
