When I saw the movie Real Steel, I thought it would be pretty cool to make my own version of the main Atom Robot . The main things you need to make this costume are foam floor mats, a hot glue gun, a heat gun, a dremel, and poster boards. What I did was I … Read more
In searching for an idea for a costume to make this year, my brainstorming led me to H.P. Lovecraft, and naturally my mind immediately thought of Cthulhu.
