Last night was my very close friends Hen’s night which was Disney themed. As I have done so many Disney princesses previously with Disney week, I thought i’d tackle a villain with this Maleficent costume. It took about 4-5 hours to make out of garbage bags, newspaper, tape and cardboard and I honestly think it’s one of my best homemade costumes….and that’s saying a lot!
