Last year I decided to build a velociraptor from Jurassic Park. I wanted it to be life-sized (in the movie it’s 12 and a half feet long); it would be my most ambitiously difficult Halloween costume yet. Shortly after the last Halloween, I settled on the male raptor design from Jurassic Park 3 (it would … Read more
The frame for the tail of this Spaceballs Barf costume was a thick plastic hose, the end split for about two inches to allow for fixing it to the “butt patch” that pins on the back of the cargo pants. Covering that is a shaped piece of long shaggy fur, shaded with Halloween hair spray. … Read more
Update Below is my original report for the first (and only) time I ever wore my Teenwolf costume. Well, until Let’s Rock Bristol 80’s Festival 2017 came around. I attended two years previously in typical 80’s clothing (denim shorts, Sam Fox T-shirt, neon socks and wristbands and an actual mustache!) but was amazed at all … Read more
None of the tattoos shown in the pictures are mine. I bought several random temporary tattoos, and also made some of my own. You can buy temp tattoo paper and use your home printer. I studied many pictures of Kat Von D and downloaded clip art, trying to be as accurate as possible. A friend … Read more
My friends and I decided on a Wizard of Oz group costume for our last day of Sixth form, which is traditionally fancy dress. I am Dorothy in the middle!

I made the bird nose out of paper clay so it was light enough to spirit glue to my face. Stayed all night though it was a little difficult to drink. I kept the eyebrows as separate pieces so I could be expressive, they were felt semi-circles I hot glued feathers to and made a … Read more

My friend and I had no idea what to wear to a Halloween party but I saw his plaid shirt in his closet and realized that we already had everything we needed to be a tree and lumberjack! I grabbed some eye make-up and some leaves from the yard and made myelf into a “tree”. … Read more

I actually kind of regret this big comfy couch costume because now everything I do pales in comparison to it. I don’t really remember how or when I came up with the idea, but I remember I couldn’t find any good how-to’s on it. The most difficult part, though, was only the hat – I … Read more
