So Thanksgiving is a few days away, so what am I posting? My finished Halloween costumes of course! Sorry it took forever to get these photos, my sister took them and she has been quite busy with school so it took her a while to send them my way. Well, better late then never!
So I’ve been pretty busy with crafting especially with Halloween right around the corner, and thankfully I’ve actually managed to take some pictures for you guys to see! I was meaning to make this post earlier but time caught up with me so here we are. Sorry about that! To make up for that, this is pretty much going to be three posts in one! I have two parts of my costume I need to show off as well as a semi tutorial on how to make a wand for my sister’s costume.
So here we go!
I’m planning on participating in a Warrior Dash next year, but I need to train so I’ll be able to run and do the obstacles in a decent time. A lot of people dress up as viking warriors for the race, and I thought it would be cute to just have horns, since there’s no way I would be wearing a costume or a viking helmet while running. I’d die. I didn’t want to make a headband with horns on it because I was worried it would just fly off during the race; headbands always fall off of my weirdly shaped head, so I decided some hair clips could possibly work!
I decided to make them now because firstly, they would make for a good addition to a costume that involved horns of some kind, and secondly, if I see them every day on my desk it will remind me to keep up with my training.
Here are the materials:
Need some gigantic eyelashes sometime soon, say, for Halloween, and don’t want to pay almost $10 for them? Well I got the tutorial for you! I found a tutorial on youtube on how to make your own false lashes with just a few materials that most people have around and got to makin’.
Materials:
For Halloween I decided I was going to be Poison Ivy from Batman. I needed green tights, and of course the one time I need them, there aren’t any green tights at all. Frustrated, I bought a pair of opaque white tights with the intention of dyeing them with food coloring. I had seen people dye yarn this way, what would be the difference?
Here are my materials: white tights, food coloring (I used green and yellow), vinegar, a stainless steel pot and a measuring cup.
So, it’s been a while… stress filled senior year of college. Anyway, I’ve received a lot of comments asking for a tutorial on how to make this key for a Halloween costume I had made a while ago. I had started to create a tutorial for this but I ended up moving and all that stuff got packed away, but I just so happened to find all my stuff the other day, so I figured I’d throw this post up before Halloween so hopefully you guys can make yours in time. 
The parts:
Here are the parts for the wind up key.
Phew, it’s been a while! If you guys hadn’t noticed, this blogging thing is pretty difficult for me to stay on top of. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to post somewhat regularly, haha.
I’ve done a few things between now and my last post.. one of the biggest things being attending the Austin Maker Faire.. and I know I’m going to be a few weeks late, but I’ll eventually post a few of my pictures from there. I also made a duct tape dressform for my little sister and I’ve started a jacket.. which has been sitting in my room half finished for about a week. Oh yeah, I just made these awesome earrings, but you’ll just have to wait for those pictures because this post is really for my… halloween costume!
