Halloween Wrap Up!

Amidst all the college apps, flu, and missed school I have managed to complete 2 full costumes and help out with four more! I think my new talent is specifically the demon wings below seeing as they managed to help their wearer get second place in a costume contest!
And of course my own costume (which I of-course forgot to take pictures of) featured these fun boots!
The boots were actually very simple to make and probably cost me $1-$3. They began looking more like this:
 They were very old, and very crappy (the ones no one really wants at a second hand store)! So I took some purple paint... and added some very simple swirls, and then hot glued the sparkles on to the troubled spots.
Sparkles and Gemstones!

To fix everything in place I went over with some fabric glue, and now they seem to stay on! I think I might do this with some more of my really bad shoes.

So to wrap up the Halloween... I hope your costumes worked out and lets move on to better things-- how about Belly Dance costumes and Christmas decoration!

Halloween Cram!

So if you are still busy and you don't have a halloween costume, you can try superfast Candy Fairy costume. Not only is it fast, but it is made of materials almost anyone can find at home!
You will need:
  • cardboard
  • a small piece of wire
  • glue (preferably hot glue)
  • Paint
  • Cellophane/tissue paper/wrapping paper/
  • Candy wrappers, ribbons anything shiny
Here are the steps:

  1.  Make a wire loop (14-16 gauge)
  • Cut circles out of cardboard (1 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch diameter)
  • Paint or cover the circles in cellophane/tissue/wrapping paper
  • glue a big circle on to the sides of the wire loop
  • attach the other circles to the big circle
  • add ribbons, sparkles, or leave as is
  • Give yourself a round of applause!
To add to the costume, grab a bag of candy, eat it and leave all the wrappers in the bag.... then have a friend dress up as the tooth fairy!

Demon Wings with Welding

I found this interesting technique on instructables.com. Not only is this the only pair of wings that could truly appear evil, but ethernight is also very original... so far this is the only tutorial using welding!

Quite impressive: instruction can be found here!
