Thread: Show Off Your Costume

Tweet

here is the costume I came up with on Halloween morning...I didn't want to wear all of that voodoo priest make up, so I thought of this...quite the change, I think...LOLOL

I give you, Susan Boyle!






I won 3rd place at a bar's Halloween Costume Contest too!

I love the Susan Boyle Costume!! LoL!!

Here's the end result of mine..

Hi Lainie,

Ok I'm kicking myself. I used the same little snakes from spirit of halloween. They were the coiled ones right? Only I didn't wrap the wire, I ended up hot gluing it and then tying off the ends and middle with more wire, and cutting it close to the snake so it wouldn't be noticeable. Because the hot glue won't stay stuck to the snake forever. Your method sounds soooo much easier. UGH!

Oh well either way it worked. :-P If I ever make another Medusa headdress I'm sooo using your method.

Made a Beetlejuice suit, bought the wig online.
About to post pics of the creation process in the tutorial forum.

Here's my costume from this year! I was Chamberlain Skeksis from the Dark Crystal. I've wanted to do this costume for a long time, but didn't think it was possible until I saw another member (rogue4) on this forum who made one... so I finally got my act together (uhh... a week and a half ago) and attempted to make it happen! It was a rush job, but I was pretty thrilled with the end result!



I ended up winning 1st place in a costume contest It was very cumbersome to wear, especially for a shrimpy gal like me, but it was worth the discomfort! Oh, I also made some feet but they were just too difficult to walk around in =/ There are a couple more action shots of the costume in my photo albums!

That is so awsome!!! I love that movie.

WOW! What great costumes everyone!!! I love the stalkarounds and the Dark Crystal costume (flashback!). Beetlejuice, Lydia as the Bride, lilium's vampiress, and Dani21 too! So much creativity and skills... JEALOUS!

I attempted the One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater. I tried two versions of the eye: patch on the 30th and prosthetic on the 31st. I still don't know which one I liked better. Any thoughts?

I did a quickie Medusa this year. Simple toga with fabric from the dollar rack at walmart and lots of snakes. :-D

MizLiz.....very creative, I like!
Moocheex55...Susan Boyle-- so FAB! You pulled it off very well. I love your expression and your mic
Hamil$tein....great job!

I was hoping I'd be lucky enough to run into a Lydia, woulda made for a great photo op in my Beetlejuice costume!

Hi all, had a hugely stressful prop/costume build week leading up to the big day(s) and now I can finally say: It was worth every second! My weekend started with a volunteer party at the local High School which had me bring the Pumpkin Carriage,the Unicorn in full Ferrari pose atop two beer barrels,4 coffins,2 fog machines,2 strobe lights, 3 black lights and finally my costume!Party went longer than advertised ( oh well it was for a good cause), made several trips shuttling everything back home for the night only to start loading at 5:45 am for the 2hr drive down to the beach for a 2 day bike race. Pic's and Youtube link can be found at CROSS CRUSADE: Home., then chat,then Photo's THEN Astoria #6. Raced Sat. but not in costume, several did and the official dress up day was Sun. A three day Halloween party for me and I'm beat but happy. The coffins were a huge hit at the race. See you soon!! Bats.
