Breakfast Pastry Costumes

This Homemade Halloween Costume Takes Inspiration from a Sweet Pop Tart

This incredibly creative homemade Halloween costume takes inspiration from a retro breakfast pastry treat, the Pop Tart. The costume is a great DIY project that no one else is sure to have at your next costume party.

The pop tart costume is surprisingly easy to put together and it allows you to wear whatever you'd like since the costume is separate from your actual outfit. The costume begins with a large rectangular piece of cardboard that is painted to look like a pop tart featuring a creamy pastry topped with strawberry pink icing and technicolor sprinkles. The board can be attached to two heavy duty strings that can sit on your shoulders allowing you wear the pop tart across your body and dress how you please underneath.
