Halloween Costume Challenge 2022!

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!

[irid3sc3nt (Carissa 🎃)]

It’ll be too easy, I think. I’m going to paint the base color black and then adhere felt on it. Oh, I think I already said that. Maybe you’re right.

I just finished costumes for DH and myself. Now, which one to enter in the contest…?

I’m looking forward to seeing what you came up with for both costumes!

[irid3sc3nt (Carissa 🎃)]

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!

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

Here is my Elizabeth Swann (from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest) costume entry:

Elizabeth Swann PotC - Halloween Costume Entry 2022

Every Halloween, our friends have a big, themed party. This year’s theme was “favorite character from a movie.” DH wanted to be Obi-Wan Kenobi, and I wanted to be a pirate. Since I made costumes for the kids last year, I didn’t feel bad buying their costumes this year and making our costumes. I had a couple of the patterns that I needed for my costume, and had to track down an out-of-print pattern for part of it. I spent a few months hunting down some decent fabrics and notions to get to someth…
