This Snapchat Filter Costume Might Be the Easiest Halloween Idea Yet
This Oct. 31, lazy girls everywhere will sigh with relief thanks to this simple DIY costume. It's perfect for last-minute preparations or office Halloween parties. Drawing inspiration from Snapchat's facial recognition filters — specifically, the adorable puppy duo that took the world by storm in 2016 — we've dreamed up a real-life version of social media's latest craze. Try it by yourself or with a friend; this easy costume idea is perfect for any situation.
How to Create It Yourself
If you want to bring your favorite Snapchat filter to life, you'll need:
- Several colors of felt
- Headbands
- Scissors
- Wooden kebab skewers or popsicle sticks
- Wardrobe (or skin-friendly) tape
- Hot glue gun
To achieve the puppy filter, simply create felt cutouts of puppy ears and features using a Snapchat selfie for reference. Attach the ears to your headbands, then attach the puppy nose to your own using wardrobe tape. Hold up a felt puppy tongue using a small wooden stick, and voila! You've brought Snapchat into the real world.
