I wasnโ€™t planning on entering anything this year until I started working on my costume for a friendโ€™s party. What started as a fun fascinator and stenciled tee is goingโ€ฆbeyond that haha. Love it when a project starts taking on a life of itโ€™s own. I will be posting :wink:

I was going to enter, but I caved and bought part of the costume. Minecraft creeper. Weโ€™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 canโ€™t make the whole body before Friday.

Every year, I think to myself that THIS is the year Iโ€™m finally going to make a cool costume (inspired by all the amazing things Iโ€™ve pinned on my Pinterest boards). And every year, I donโ€™t do it. This year is looking the sameโ€ฆ I think I have a googly eye somewhere that I can stick on my forehead, a la โ€œEverything, Everywhere, All at Onceโ€โ€ฆ

I purchased a pink skeleton onesie for too much money and also plans for one of those masks/helmets that you fold yourself. Itโ€™s a pink rabbit head, but looks menacing. Itโ€™s a very strange pairing and I love it.

I definitely purchased aspects/bases of my home-made costumes and Iโ€™ll still enter them!! I would say you could definitely enter just the creeper head @irid3sc3nt. Having painted many a Minecraft block, itโ€™s a lot of work!

Itโ€™ll be too easy, I think. Iโ€™m going to paint the base color black and then adhere felt on it. Oh, I think I already said that. Maybe youโ€™re right.

It was not too easy. I watched three movies (Rocky Horror, Adam Project, [canโ€™t remember third])plus a couple show episodes on tv (Kimโ€™s Convenience, Bee & PuppyCat) while cutting, placing, and gluing. It was crazy how long it took!

Yess!! They seem so simple, those Minecraft blocks, but they are deceptive!
