Yellow fabric (I used an old scarf)
Fringed scarf for headband

This was originally going to be my Halloween costume this year. I’d grabbed the clothing items at the local second hand shop a few months ago, and had been planning to save them for Halloween. But then the COVID-19 struck, which has made it a bit more difficult to get supplies, since I’m staying home to avoid spreading anything. So since I already had all the the supplies for this one at home, I figured I might as well just do it up now.

It’s pretty easy to put together out of regular clothes, so it’s a breeze to assemble. You can either use clothes you already have, or grab a few items from a local 2nd hand shop (after quarantine is over of course). I was able to make this one for just under $10.

I wore purple leggings under my DIY Professor Trelawney costume because I had them on hand. But I think she actually had “sweatery” leg-warmers. The great thing about this costume is that it lends itself very well to “artistic liberty”. As long as you choose clothing items that look a little wacky, they’ll fit right in. Your DIY Professor Trelawney costume doesn’t have to look exactly like Emma Thompson’s. People will still know who you are.
