SAEDNEWS: The actress shared details of her DIY passion.
According to SAEDNEWS, In a delightful interview with Vogue, Blake Lively, the talented 36-year-old actress, shared her exciting journey into the world of DIY as she prepared for Halloween 2023. With the release of her upcoming film It Ends With Us, Lively took a break from Hollywood glam to showcase her creative side by crafting adorable costumes for her daughters, James, Inez, and Betty.
Taking inspiration from the iconic witch outfits in Hocus Pocus, Lively embraced her role as a hands-on mom. She revealed, “I got cloaks on Etsy and went to the Garment District, got all the trims. Look, I did all this—the sweetheart shape, the details on the sleeve...” Her passion for costume-making was evident as she poured her heart into every detail.
Blake also took to her Instagram account to provide a sneak peek of the enchanting costumes she designed. She shared her process, admitting, "In fairness, I don't know how to pattern make." Rather than feeling daunted by this challenge, Lively found a creative workaround. “I start with a base dress (or broom or wig) from Etsy or Amazon and build out all the layers and trim and details and flourishes and build from there,” she explained.
Lively’s love for DIY stems from her childhood, where she watched her mother craft everything from scratch. “My mom used to make everything from scratch. I LOVED and appreciated that so much but never learned how myself,” she noted, highlighting the sentimental connection to her family roots.
This Halloween, Lively not only embraced the spirit of the season but also showcased her remarkable ability to blend creativity with motherhood. With her charming costumes, it’s clear that Blake Lively is not just a talented actress but also a devoted mom who truly values the magic of handmade treasures.
We can’t wait to see her daughters bringing her Hocus Pocus-inspired creations to life! What are your thoughts on Blake's DIY endeavors? Share in the comments below!
