About this deal
Place the star stencil just below the middle of the bodice and lightly brush black paint around the edges. But if she happens to land on a Moana costume for Halloween this year, we have some handy ideas to re-create the outfit worn by our favorite Polynesian protagonist. Using a marker or fabric paint, mimic the pattern of Moana's top along the top and bottom hem (columns of five lines alternating with eight "starburst" lines). Either way, learn how to assemble an easy Moana costume for girls with just a few basic items—some of which you may already have in your house.
Yes, it involves a little more elbow grease, but you'll be surprised at just how accomplished you feel once it's complete. When it comes to little girls and Halloween costumes, the options are literally endless (read: she’s going to change her mind at least 13 times). In fact, we bet pulling this look together is almost as fun as the adventures the lead character embarks on in the movie. In fact, some of the best DIYs and most creative costumes are made by sorting through your own closet. Chances are, that baker’s dozen list of costumes has a Disney character costume or three on it, so the good news is that the DIY mermaid costume you bookmarked could come in handy after all if Ariel is the one.
Trace the stencil along the top and bottom of the broadcloth, with the point always facing outward, and cut out.
