Creating an elaborate costume such as Marie Antoinette and not spend a lot of money is possible with a little savvy and a crafty hand. Thrift shops and craft stores hold most of the items needed to create a royal costume. Elaborate decorations and details are the key to making this costume come alive. A little research of some of the details she added to her hair and dress add a uniqueness to the costume. Last of all the make-up of this queen easy to reproduce. A costume with such decoration can be time consuming but the end result is remarkable.

Thrift stores carry all kinds of prom and wedding dresses at reasonable prices. When looking for a dress the more fabric the better. It needs to be very poofy and if a hoop skirt or crinoline is available it will help to poof the skirt of the dress out even farther. The dress should have sleeves and a fitted bodice. Decorate the dress with ribbons, bows, pearls, flowers and even jewelry.

Recreating Marie Antoinette's hair is the most challenging and yet will cost the least unless splurging on an actual wig is in the budget. Her hair was blond and always curly. Whether buying a wig or creating this do with natural hair there are keys to success. To create "high" hair a filler of some type is needed and is pinned to one's hair. Ideas for a filler could be foam, a ball of yarn or even chicken wire! The curls are pinned around this filler and the higher the better. The queen added unusual decorations to her hair such as birds, feathers, and jewelry. The make-up is very pale with red lips and a beauty mark. Long eyelashes, light colored eyeshadow, and blush on the apples of the cheeks will top off the look. Finish off the costume with lots of jewelry, an elegant fan and even a face mask.

Creating such an elaborate costume may be time consuming but does not have to break the budget. Thrift stores and craft stores will provide supplies. Imagination and patience does the all the work without breaking the bank.

Are stinkbugs poisonous?

Answer:No. Stinkbugs aren't poisonous. I caught one today, and I'm not dead.

Their stench is for self defense. For example: if a bird is after them, they'll release their stench and it will go away.

Answer:Actually, the eggs are protected in arsenic. There is a Chinese bird that is immune to the arsenic, enabling it to prey on stinkbugs. Also, you don't die from touching them. Arsenic is a poison that if you consume enough of it, you will die. In large amounts, it gets into the blood stream. In other words, don't eat stinkbugs. Answer:No. The Brown Marigold Stinkbug is actually not poisonous. There are other known species that may be poisonous, but they live in other countries.
