I love doing timely costumes that reflect something currently going on in pop culture. Because this year was 2012, I decided to make a costume for the end of the world, and what’s a better way to dress for the end of the world than dressing as one of the people that predicted the whole … Read more
My brother, Luke, is 12 this year, and he was having trouble thinking of a costume. So I thought of the saying ‘When life gives you lemons…’ and we came up with this! We wanted to keep the costume plain. No logo tee shirts, no bright colors. So Luke just wore jeans and a white … Read more
On occasion I get a creative burst, and without planning just dive into my project! I am a fan of trial and error, I don’t really like following a guide or recipe. I started this crocodile costume with the head, using cardboard as a base with a hot glue gun, then paper mâchéing to get the right shape. For … Read more
I made this adult Batman costume for Halloween 2012. I picked Batman, let’s face it, what grown man does not want a bat suit, lol? It took 3 weeks to make the bottom, half are black jeans with pads I made from a old black jacket plus PVC for the boots from another old coat. The chest piece and shoulder armor are … Read more
First off I want to say I am truly a MK fan. I have been ever since my older bro and I got MK2 for Super NES…*reminiscing on childhood. I wanted to go all out and give proper tribute to one of the most epic games/characters of all time…Sub Zero. *I also want to thank … Read more
My girlfriend recently dyed her hair from brown to platinum blonde and wanted to find a costume for Halloween that showed it off. Being Harry Potter fans it wasn’t long before we realized the going as Draco Malfoy would be a piece of cake. The Draco Malfoy costume was so easy she had everything we needed in … Read more
My husband loves superheroes! OK OK … so do I. So, for our first cosplay attempt at last year’s Comic Con, we decided on a super simple (and cheap!) Clark Kent in the middle of “becoming” Superman costume for him. (I was Tank Girl – you can check out my other submission for a how-to on my costume!) What … Read more
The same year (2012) my son wanted to be Davy Jones for trick or treating, he asked to be something easier for school. My solution…. Billy Butcherson the zombie from Hocus Pocus! It was a costume I made my husband a few years back. I pulled it out, and yay, it fit Joe! It was … Read more
This Egyptian God Ra costume was supposed to be a one night super fast costume for my son’s 6th grade Egypt day at school. They were to all dress as something Egyptian. Most just wrapped sheets around them and put on eyeliner. Of course my son wants to be the Bird God Ra. Sigh. No pattern, … Read more
My son decided to tell me this year he’d like to be Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. He knows I make every costume, why this?? lol, but I took it head on, and worked on it simultaneously with Alice for my daughter. So, I started with his sword. It’s a .99 cents only store … Read more
This year for one of my Halloween costumes (you can’t wear the same costume to two parties), I decided to be the main characters from one of my favorite movies ever: Emperor Kuzco from the Emperor’s New Groove. First I bought a large sheet of red fabric, and then cut a long rectangle to make … Read more
Charlie Brown was very simple. You need a yellow polo shirt, black shorts, yellow socks and brown shoes. You will need black fabric paint. You just draw the Chevron symbols on the yellow polo with the black fabric paint. The rest should be purchasable and WalMart. We also added a small stuffed Snoopy to his costume.
