Halloween Costume Challenge 2020

[MistressJennie (Jennie)]

Halloween Costume Challenge!

Many things have been canceled this year, but you know what’s still coming up? Halloween! And staying at home just means we have time to work on some truly epic Halloween costumes.

YOUR MISSION - CRAFT AN AWESOME HALLOWEEN COSTUME!

The Rules:

• Your costume may be for yourself, or for a family member or friend.
• You may have help or collaborate on the costume with an immediate family member like your spouse.
• Your costume may contain some purchased elements, but must be predominantly handmade by you. (Examples of purchased items could be a crown, to go with the princess dress you sewed.)
• Each LC member may only submit one entry, which cannot already be posted on its own thread. If you wish to submit a group or family set of costumes, it will count as 1 entry.
• Additionally, your entry may not be submitted for any other contest in this community.
• All entries must be posted by midnight on November 4th.

The winner of the Halloween Costume Challenge will receive a $20 Amazon gift card!

Additional Details:

• You should submit your entry by creating a project post on the Completed Projects sub-board.
• You are REQUIRED to have a descriptive title and then include “- Fashion 2020 Q4 Contest Entry” (example: Jennie’s Witch Costume - F&T 2020 Q4 Contest Entry). Once you have posted your submission, you need to reply to this thread with a link to your post. If you do not do this, your entry will not be considered.
• Voting will happen on November 5th - 11th.
• The winner will be announced on November 12th.
• If cheating of any sort is discovered, the applicable entry and votes will be disqualified.

If you have any questions, or want to chat about your crafting progress for this challenge, post it here! Let’s have fun!

I love this challenge every year!

I did make-up for the halloween zoom meet up (and forgot to add my shirt) Would this be okay to add to this or not?

[MistressJennie (Jennie)]

Hi @Riechan! That was a tough question, so I checked in with the other Mods for their opinions. Some of us felt that makeup alone isn’t a complete costume, BUT, I did not specify that in the contest rules. So we will count it. Go ahead and enter your makeup from the Zoom Meetup.

But for everyone’s information, in future Halloween Costume Contests here on LC, we will specify that a costume also needs clothing or accessory elements to count.

Thank you!

Zombie Make-up - Fashion 2020 Q4 Contest Entry

Since we are in half of a lock down (getting more strict upcoming weekend) there are no halloween walks or anything here (We don’t really do trick or treating in Belgium) So I really wanted to dress up for the halloween zoommeeting, but being as buzy as I was, I choose this. It took me less than an hour, probably more like half an hour but I had to search some boxes as we moved recently. I used the following: Mixture of baby powder and vaseline => shot wound White craft glue and tissue paper…

(Should so delete the pictures from last year, because it isn’t me?)

Here’s my entry!

Socially distant Viking-Fashion 2020 Q4 Contest Entry

This socially distant viking is ready for trick-or-treaters! [20201031_184346] The beard is crocheted with one entire skein of yarn so it’s a heavy sonofagun [20201031_184255]

A socially distant Viking!

Ahhh, I didn’t even realize this was a thing, thanks @MistressJennie for cluing me in! This year’s costume (for multiple events, thankfully) was a Cheshire Cat! It served two purposes - a friend’s birthday was Alice in Wonderland themed AND I had a Halloween costume with a mask ready to go!

The dress was something my friend had on-hand, I made the jacket, the ears, and the mask… the bag was made by @Bunny1kenobi!

Bird king of Hell. I’m sorry, I have no idea what the hell is wrong with me. I just needed to do it.

My entry!

Plague Doctor - F&T 2020 Q4 Contest Entry

When my son wanted to be the Plague Doctor for Halloween this year, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to pull it off. I was so worried I’d fail at the mask that I had several contingency plans ready to go. But in the end, I think it came out ok! [IMG_2281] I started with the mask because I was so worried about it. I used the simplified version of this pattern. I used duck canvas cloth which I think helped give the stiffness I needed for the top half of the mask and I added a bit of fusible …

Phew! Made it!
