I have always loved Selene from Underworld and noticed there was really no cool options out there. So dug out an old corset I had from back in the day that had buckles on it. Since I was sort of a dark teen I had some old knee high boots from high school that just … Read more
There were seven and a half of us who all got together to do a Homemade Spaceballs Group Costume. I was Asshole/Spaceball. I made the helmet from an outdoor lamp globe, a bike helmet, foam, a drimel, and spray paint. The suit was a painters suite, and the belt was from an old shirt. All … Read more
The only costume that was not homemade was Frank-n-furter. The rest of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Group Costume was put together by us. We frequented the thrift store, and craft store.

Inspired by the DVD cover shot of the instant classic, Office Space, Post-It guy is loved by all. Topping the get-up with a note-filled briefcase seemed … Read more

I went to the craft stores and dollar stores early fall and bought as … Read more
I had the idea of dressing up my family in a Homemade Three Amigos Group Costume for YEARS. It just took the right party for me to decide to get every thing together! I started out with 3 straw sombreros from the party supply store for around $4 each. Three cans of black spray paint … Read more
I was Samara from the movie The Ring coming out of the well. The Samara costume took me quite a while to create. The wall of the well is made up of three different fabrics. I wore an inflated inner tube to keep the well up above my waist and covered that with the fabric … Read more
