Homemade halloween

Looking for an easy, last minute costume? Want something unique and up-to-date? Be the twitter bird! This costume is really simple and only takes a few steps to create. The twitter bird itself is blue, so I bought blue shorts, a blue top and blue socks at Wal-Mart, but you could even find any blue-colored clothes from your own closet. Wear whatever blue items you want and don’t be afraid to accessorize. I added wings to mine that I found at Wal-Mart. Wings are also available at Party City. Next, you need somewhere to display your tweets. Take a whiteboard (which can be found at Wal-Mart and craft stores) and attach ribbon with tape, a stapler, glue or whatever works easiest for you. I went for a little bigger of a whiteboard so there would be room to write on it, but if you are worried about comfort, you might want to go for smaller. For fun, you can add the twitter symbol or little birds to your ribbon or board for an extra touch. I searched for the twitter symbols online and printed them out to tape them to the board. Lastly, add your twitter handle and a tweet to your board. Tell people to write their own tweets and hashtags on your board to make it even more fun. You can even let people tweet at you or other people. This costume is flexible, inexpensive and a great way to start conversations.
