Blake Lively isn’t afraid to get crafty to create special moments for her and Ryan Reynolds ’ children. “I got cloaks on Etsy and went to the Garment District, got all the trims,” Lively, 36, told Vogue about her Halloween costume DIY skills in an interview published on Wednesday, August 7. “Look, I did all this, the sweetheart shape, the details on the sleeve.
” Later that day, Lively showed off her handmade Hocus Pocus costumes. “In fairness I don’t know how to pattern make,” Lively explained via her Instagram Story. “So 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, applying on top.
” Blake noted that her mom, Elaine Lively , “used to make everything from scratch,” adding, “I LOVED and appreciated that so much but never learned how myself. Bucket list skills left to learn.” In the image shared via her Instagram Story, three costumes inspired by the 1993 film were displayed side by side.
Blake tagged Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy underneath each of the respective costumes. (The trio starred as the Sanderson Sisters in the Halloween-themed movie and the subsequent sequel.) While there were only three costumes photographed in the snap, Blake and Reynolds, 47, share four kids: daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4 and son Olin, 18 months.
Reynolds, who tied the knot with Blake in September 2012, recently revealed the name.
