When I was at the new Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland last month, I got to meet Maleficent and she was glorious!
I’m usually not one for Disney villains, but I was seriously in awe of her entire demeanor. She made a few snide comments about my outfit that caught me off guard and (cracked me up!)
In that moment, she became my new favorite Disney villain!
So to celebrate meeting her, I’m sharing this fabulous Maleficent headband DIY tutorial.
