Heavy white cardstock with colored pencils would also work for the stars. After your stars and diamonds are printed, cut them out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Add wire to your headband and tape each shape onto the wire with both a front and back side using the double-sided tape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Use this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/shop\/product\/printable-lucy-in-the-sky-with-diamonds-diy-halloween-costume-topper-shirt-name-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"free printable Lucy name template (opens in a new tab)\">free printable Lucy name template<\/a> so everyone will know you\u2019re <em>Lucy<\/em> for the nightJ. Cut out the letters from the template and tape them onto your piece of felt. Then, cut out the letters in the felt &amp; tape them to the shirt you will wear for the costume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Optional clouds. I thought holding clouds sounded fun for the picture, but it might be annoying if you are at work or out trick-or-treating. If you want to have clouds, I cut mine out of poster board with an X-Acto knife and then drew on the outlines with a thick sharpie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/last-minute-halloween-costume-idea-with-easy-diy-halloween-costume-topper-2.jpg\" alt=\"last minute halloween costume idea with easy diy halloween costume topper\" class=\"wp-image-862\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/last-minute-halloween-costume-idea-with-easy-diy-halloween-costume-topper-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/last-minute-halloween-costume-idea-with-easy-diy-halloween-costume-topper-2-259x300.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/last-minute-halloween-costume-idea-with-easy-diy-halloween-costume-topper-2-768x888.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/last-minute-halloween-costume-idea-with-easy-diy-halloween-costume-topper-2-885x1024.jpg 885w, https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/last-minute-halloween-costume-idea-with-easy-diy-halloween-costume-topper-2-624x722.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> This costume is easy to wear since it\u2019s primarily a Halloween costume topper with some letters to spell out <em>Lucy <\/em>on your shirt with a couple of optional clouds! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy costume making!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"110\" height=\"29\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellosmallworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/r-post-sig.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-599\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for an easy Halloween costume that you can make the night before Halloween?
