My son loves Star Wars. He thinks the coolest character is General Grievous. When Halloween rolled around, we tried to find a General Grievous costume for him, but all we saw were clones and Jedi. Nobody had an evil monster like this! I decided I had to make it myself.
The mask and light sabers are made of paper mache. The arms I made by cutting off the arms from a black sweater and hand stitching them to the underarms of another black sweater. I bought pillow stuffing and filled the arms so they would look more realistic, then I hot glued the skeleton gloves to the ends to keep all the stuffing inside. I attached a fishing line to the fake arms so they would move when he moved his real arms.
The shoulders, chest, arm and leg pieces are made of regular craft foam sheets. I could not match the color exactly so I had to paint the foam with the same color I sued to paint the mask. All the foam is hand stitched to the black shirt and pants. The cape was the easiest because I just sewed a red fabric to a black fabric and I added Velcro to the top corners and also his chest, that way the cape can be removed.

This is the best costume of General Grievous. Katiria is extremely creative, and did an excellent job with this costume. If it weren’t for the title I would never know it was homemade. Would you make some costumes for my girls, lol?
