YES! I am planning and plotting for Halloween as we speak!! I’m very excited about the girls’ current request. Let’s hope they don’t change their minds…
I wasn’t planning on entering anything this year until I started working on my costume for a friend’s party. What started as a fun fascinator and stenciled tee is going…beyond that haha. Love it when a project starts taking on a life of it’s own. I will be posting
I was going to enter, but I caved and bought part of the costume. Minecraft creeper. We’re making the head, though. Square box and different hues of green felt and some kind of netting for the eyes and mouth. Should be fun, but I just can’t make the whole body before Friday.
Every year, I think to myself that THIS is the year I’m finally going to make a cool costume (inspired by all the amazing things I’ve pinned on my Pinterest boards). And every year, I don’t do it. This year is looking the same… I think I have a googly eye somewhere that I can stick on my forehead, a la “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once”…
I purchased a pink skeleton onesie for too much money and also plans for one of those masks/helmets that you fold yourself. It’s a pink rabbit head, but looks menacing. It’s a very strange pairing and I love it.
I definitely purchased aspects/bases of my home-made costumes and I’ll still enter them!! I would say you could definitely enter just the creeper head @irid3sc3nt. Having painted many a Minecraft block, it’s a lot of work!
It was not too easy. I watched three movies (Rocky Horror, Adam Project, [can’t remember third])plus a couple show episodes on tv (Kim’s Convenience, Bee & PuppyCat) while cutting, placing, and gluing. It was crazy how long it took!
