DIY Dobby Costume

Harry Potter and Dobby CostumesHey friends! Last year my oldest wanted to be Harry Potter for Halloween, so of course we needed to make A, our little house elf, Dobby! While I couldn’t find any costumes in his size, I was able to make a DIY Dobby costume for only $1, no sewing needed!
