Aloha Grass Skirt

Of course I waited until the day of the luau to look for a grass skirt. Since I stole my daughter's bloomers to make brother's shirt she now needed something to wear with her shirt. Would you believe that Michael's didn't have any yet? I grabbed a bag of raffia and a piece of ribbon. I used the ribbon for the waistband and simple looped the raffia over the waistband until it covered her bum. It took me less than an hour and cost less than five bucks. I also had to trim the skirt so she didn't step on it all night.She loved it! She loved it so much that she took it off after about five minutes and almost refused to put it on for this picture. Oh well! Can't win them all.
