On Friday, October 16th, www.YouCanMakeThis.com had the opportunity to showcase some ideas for last-minute Halloween costumes on KSL’s Studio 5. What a fun day! We are very appreciative to the kind producers and hosts who made everything go so smoothly and helped everyone feel comfortable. As you can imagine, you never know what to expect when you have small children or pets on live television, but it was a great experience!
If you were not able to watch the segment live, we’ve got the clip right here for you!
Keep checking back on the blog in the next week as we’ll spotlight some easy how-to’s from that segment, including how to make those cute “ladybug antennaes” you saw on our Yorkie! The ladybug dog costume was made with instructions from The Ultimate Walking Vest.
Additional photos, links, and instructions will be posted throughout the week. But for now, go and download YOUR FREE products: Sew a Fancy-Filled Tutu by Kimberbell Kids & Carla C. and Festive Vests by Carla C (The Scientific Seamstress). Using those 2 books, you’ll be able to create a variety of costumes for your little ones. It’s our “TREAT” to you this Halloween. They are only free for a limited time as this offer expires October 31, 2009. So download today!
