Velma & Daphne DIY Halloween Costumes
Ah Halloween, my second most favourite time of year (right behind Christmas). I absolutely love dressing up, and my favourite thing to do is create a DIY costume. This year I took to my Instagram stories and posted a picture of my red wig and ask you all to guess who I was going to be! There were so many great guesses: Jessica Rabbit, Ariel, Cheryl Blossom, Poison Ivy, just to name a few. But this year I decided to DIY the famous ladies from the Scooby-Doo gang! So the red wig is actually for my Daphne Blake DIY costume! And for Velma, well as you can see my hair cut is pretty spot-on for her look!
Now let’s get into the costumes!
