But nothing prepared Terry for the feedback she received from her followers, who praised her creativity — and wanted the recipe. so to speak.

“I posted it last year after I did it, and that was before I really did a lot of TikToks,” Terry says. “I got 30,000 views and I was overwhelmed and amazed and everything.”

The idea to dress her then-2-year-old daughter as a campfire mainstay came about when the Lindale resident visited her local store “last minute” and couldn't find any ready-made costumes she liked.

While she was at home on Pinterest, she came up with the idea of ​​making a s'more costume. Luckily, she didn't have to look far for most of her materials.

“I realized I needed a tutu so I went to the store. But otherwise I already had everything at home,” she says.

Terry hand painted the box with realistic looking chocolate squares and the whole project took about two hours, which was perfect as it needed to be done for an event the next day.

“I feel like I've always been a little creative my whole life, but I don't feel like I'm a professional at all,” the humble DIYer tells PEOPLE. “I just fake it until I make it. Most people ask me how I do it and I say, “I really don’t know.” I just start doing it and it somehow works out.”

And part of the key is simply trusting the process.

“The more you do it, you just have to have a little confidence,” she adds. “When I start doing something, it usually looks a little bad at first, and then I think, 'Oh no.' But then I just keep going, keep going, keep going and then I'm like, 'Oh, okay, that actually turned out pretty good.'”

Last year's finished costume included a cardboard piece secured around Noah Mae's waist and a smaller piece attached to her headband. In between, Terry's daughter wore a white tutu and white top for a marshmallow effect.

And Terry's pitch-perfect performance left her followers drooling.

“Tell us how to do this. Please!” one commenter wrote alongside the video of Noah Mae posing in the precious costume.

Another fan praised the mom's efforts: “I'm yelling and describing this to my family in the next room while ooooring and ahhhhing. So damn cute!!!”

This Halloween, Terry will keep the dessert theme going by dressing her daughter as cotton candy.

Unfortunately, Terry says her older children — a 13-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son — don't share her younger siblings' love of dressing up as candy.

“As your kids get older, they don’t really want to do this [dress up]” she says. “So I’m just going to enjoy this while I can.”
