The BEAST stands 12 feet tall, his head moves up and down and side to side. His eye’s light up from a switch controlled at my head level. Arms are fully functioning. It is pretty light, I walked around the whole neighborhood (with my daughter on low-hanging tree patrol). I saw a giant costume guy … Read more
This Carbon Knight costume was a fun costume to work on. It took a total of five months to complete. I used EVA foam (which can be found at your local LOWS for $20). I started with some templates I made and other simple shapes. Then cut them out on the foam. Then I hot … Read more
Any chance I get to use 50lbs of glitter I take. Unicorn screams glitter so I decided to be one this year! The hooded horn and paws were ordered from yandy.com I found the purple and gold shiny dress from Forever21 for $12. The leg warmers are from a local Halloween store, as well as … Read more
I always want to stand out in a crowd and wear something that no other person has, which is why I always make my own clothes and costumes. I designed and created my own Ninja costume by myself from scratch. I draped the patterns on a dress form and used a stretch satin for the … Read more

The year 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and we celebrated by morphing into the pink (Pterodactyl!) and yellow (Saber Tooth Tiger! ) Rangers for Halloween. We took these costumes out for a night on the town (in the city, actually), a putty disturbance in the park, and also to the office Halloween party—it’s morphin’ time, … Read more
I’ve wanted to make the black diamond costume from Moulin rouge for a long time so I finally did it! It took forever! I started it a few months ago and have been working on it every waking moment to get it done in time. I worked really hard to replicate it to the best … Read more
