Ever since I saw the movie Avatar I was hooked… I ended up watching it 5 times in the theater. So, I’ve been waiting a long time to dress up as an Avatar, seeing as it came out the end of 2009. Finally, October came around & I didn’t really have much time to plan the costume, so I decided to make it myself.
I got a bunch of blue face paint (which can be used on your body), some white paint to make different shades of blue, glow in the dark face paint, black hair spray, and two shades of metallic blue eye shadows. I also got yellow contacts and some different materials to make our “clothes”. It took a lot of convincing to get my boyfriend to paint himself as an Avatar with me, but it wouldn’t have been the same, I needed my greatest accessory, another Avatar =)
This DIY Avatar couple Halloween costume idea ended up being a messy costume to make, the blue paint & black hair spray ended up all over my bathroom, my CAR, and all over the party we went to. It did not matter to me because EVERYBODY loved our costume, especially us. My boyfriend ended up enjoying being an Avatar just as much as I did. We got so many compliments (such as “best costume of the year”) that I decided to enter us into a costume contest online.
It took a lot of hard work and we had so much fun being Avatars. Nobody recognized us, except our families that saw the process. Hope you enjoy our pictures & story as much as everybody else did. Happy Halloween.
