DIY Women’s Cat in the Hat Costume

Disclosure AffiliateMake your own DIY Women's Cat in the Hat Costume using this short list of items you can find online. Your costume will fit perfectly and be SO unique!

Last year we shared some DIY Halloween costume ideas that were a big hit, so we’re back this year with some more! We are starting out with an adorable DIY Women’s Cat in the Hat Costume that is styled on the classic Cat in the Hat, but with a feminine flair! My bet is that his costume will be the hit of your Halloween party. It’s easy to go to the local costume store or party store and buy a “pre-packaged” costume, but it’s definitely not the best option. If you’re going to a big party you’re likely to see someone else with the exact same costume and it just won’t be very original!

The other problem with a party store costume is that they are usually limited in sizes and you have to buy everything in one package – which doesn’t end up good if your top is bigger than your bottom or vice versa.

Putting together your own costume pretty much ensures that your costume will be unique AND it will fit you well. You can also easily tweak parts of the costume to be exactly what you want!

We have a super fun idea for a putting together a costume to let you dress as everyone’s favorite storybook character with this DIY DIY Women’s Cat in the Hat Costume. You can find all of these items at Amazon and put together your costume in one order!

How to Get Wavy Hair Like Sabrina Carpenter

Disclosure AffiliateSabrina Carpenter Wavy Hair

If you’re a fan of Girl Meets World’s Sabrina Carpenter and her gorgeous wavy hair, we have a step-by-step how-to tutorial thanks to Celebrity Hairstylist Laurie Heaps. Follow them to get effortless waves just like Sabrina’s!

1. Rough dry hair for volume at the root.

2. Part hair into 4 sections.

3. Take a 1-1/2 inch piece in horizontal section and spray with White Sands Liquid Texture Medium Thermal Spray. Then, straighten a few inches of hair in a bending motion with a flat iron.

4. Straighten the next few inches of hair bending the flat iron in the opposite direction, continuing this pattern all the way down the hair.

5. Go over the hair with the flat iron tapping gently on areas that have too much wave. Less is more!

6. Finish with a light mist of Redken Wind Blown Hairspray. Laurie used a T3 micro flat iron for this look.
