Since this was a surprise, we had to guess on head size and found that my Muppet was a pretty good sit in for a five year old.

She came up with the idea that we could make a Merida wig and found some instructions on Pinterest. While you could go to a store and find a red wig, most of the time these did not really capture the volume and essence of Merida.Īround this time, my wife was in one of her phases where she wanted to crochet everything. We found several decent dresses, bows, and even bears, but one of the challenging points was the hair.Īs you probably know, Merida has a lot of hair, and it kind of goes all over the place. As such, she wanted to be Merida for Halloween, and honestly most other days as well.

With Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party now going on for this year, this seemed like the perfect time to think back on a fun DIY Halloween solution to make your little princess feel just like Merida.Ī few years back, my niece was obsessed with Brave (she has good taste).
