Garden Costume

Combining a garden party with a costume party can be a great way to celebrate during the spring and summer months. Historically, garden parties have been an opportunity to have a really well-catered lunch while putting on display all of the best plants and flowers that are being grown for the season. Taking that garden party and turning it into an occasion for some sort of costume party can be a great idea. And there’s certainly no shortage of costume ideas, homemade and store-bought, out there on the Internet these days.

For example, when the idea is to have a lot of fun many people are taking a simple frock or vest and decorating it with colorful plastic or silk flowers and wearing that. This kind of costume, which can be homemade quite easily, is known as – of course – a “ flower costume.” One can also choose to decorate one’s self from head-to-toe in such a costume, as a matter of fact. All that’s needed is a sheet in which a hole can be cut so that the sheet can be worn like a poncho or cape, even (if cutting a hole in a sheet is too hard) and then a bit of effort aimed at attaching the flowers to the sheet.

Rather than going with a white sheet, though, try to find a simple cotton one that can either be dyed green or that already comes colored as such. From there, head to an arts and crafts store where bulk lots of plastic or silk flowers can be bought at a very low price. Normally, a simple hand stitch around the plastic stems is all that’s required to keep the flowers on a sheet, so keep that in mind when it comes to creating a homemade costume.
