Still trying to figure out the perfect Halloween costume for October 31st? Or maybe you already have one, but you need a more toned-down version for wearing to work?
Either way, we have the purr-fect solution for all of your Halloween needs! Yes, we’ve all been a cat for Halloween at least once, but you’ve never done it like this before! So slap on a tiger-print manicure, perfect your Audrey Hepburn cat eye, and get ready for the ultimate ready-made cat costume.
What exactly is it that makes this variation on the kitty-cat stand out from the pack? It’s all about the ears. Skip the felted headband this year and DIY your cat ears from scratch — from your own hair!
It might sound a little funky, but the end result is super-cute, we promise! Not to mention incredibly budget-friendly, since your main crafting supply is growing from your scalp as we speak.
There are two basic strategies for pulling this off: You can either create ear-shaped outlines, or you can create pointed buns to perfectly mimic the look of cat ears.
For the first approach, you’ll need hair that’s at least chin length, and some pipe cleaners. For the second, all you’ll need are a few standard hair products and a little ingenuity! Check out the video below to find out which approach is right for you!
