My friend had a Halloween party with an optional theme of Witches, Wizards, and Warlocks. When I have an excuse to wear a beard, I WEAR A BEARD, Okay? 
When she texted the invite that day I was wearing my pink skeleton dress and I felt it was the perfect outfit for Merlin.
I already had pink fur from my dragon art doll I made like four years ago so I just had to make a quick beard and hat. All in all it cost me $7 for the felt. And it’s lined so that it doesn’t bother my face.
I made a pocket in which to be able to store items within Merlin’s beard and also for animals to live in it but I forgot to have them peaking out in the picture so here’s this as an example:
I enjoyed wearing it and I made a quick costume for hubby. He’s the bearded man, obviously. If I love beards so much my spouse is obviously also going to have one. I got a woman’s large green top and put a bunch of my accessories on him. Then I put runes on his forehead. Tadaah! Lol
I liked trelling people I was Merlin when asked and then not explaining myself… I don’t have an explanation. I also said it was a couple’s costume cuz Merlin married a druid. More confusion. Lmao.
