Hauntingly beautiful and sustainably sourced, the black dress is the ultimate Halloween essential.

VAMPIRE
CURIOUS CAT
Aflower crown can transform even the simplest costume into something unforgettable. Thrift your blooms and make it your own.
1 GATHER YOUR BLOOMS
Choose faux flowers. Think bright and bold marigolds for Day of the Dead, or dark, moody blooms for Halloween.
2 ARRANGE & ATTACH
Using hot glue or floral tape, secure flowers directly onto a thick headband. Start with larger blooms, then layer in smaller ones.
3 MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Get creative! Add spray paint, a touch of glitter, or even zip ties that stick out for a bold look.
This flower crown, created with repurposed items from Goodwill San Antonio, proves that with a little creativity, you can shine.
