It’s been a Star Wars filled month around our house as we’ve collected everything we needed to create super cute, but super cheap Star Wars themed costumes for all three kids. To view my full post on Star Wars Themed Costume Ideas, Click HERE
Or, see the individual posts I did for lots of ideas on each character:

Did you dress up as Queen Amidala? If so how did you do her headpiece! I need HELP! I got a red dress from the thrift store, but haven’t figured out how to do the elaborate headpiece.

I’m so sorry that I’m not going to be much help, because I went with a MUCH easier Padme costume! I considered the elaborate red dress and decided it would be too much work. But, here is a link to someone who pulled it off using a pool noodle!: http://kirascraftylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/iron-man.html
I’m thinking that if you have the make-up, which is easy to do, the dress, and maybe just the big hair looking part of the headpiece made out of a pool noodle, OR just do your hair up big in sock buns, everyone will know who you are!
Here is someone who made a cool headpiece out of trash bags and paper plates: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Schoolworks-Queen-Amidala/5598951
or if you can find a mask like this by wednesday, you’ll be all set!: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Queen-Amidala-Adult/dp/B000QW6SM6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1351514124&sr=8-3&keywords=queen+amidala+headpiece
I hope you are inspired and figure something out! Have fun!! Please share what you finally decide ;)
