My family loves, loves, LOVES Halloween. Costume ideas are discussed all year. This year my son decided to be a dragon…not at cute, fuzzy, wings under his armpits dragon, but a D-R-A-G-O-N!! He told me it had to have a frame that he can stand in and control all the parts. After much thought and … Read more
Here’s my Dragon Trainer gone wrong costume. I had other costumes in mind this year and even started them but was watching “how to train your dragon” and it came to me, what if it went wrong and the dragon didn’t like their trainer. So I decided to make a shoulder dragon that moved and … Read more
For this homemade dragon head costume I used a large balloon (the kind that have the elastic band attached that kids like to bop around work well) for the mold – just make sure it is a big one. I bought wallpaper paste from the store and employed a lot of daily-journal paper. I cut … Read more
My husband and I love Halloween. We kinda got together on Halloween several years ago and every year we try to go big. Well, at least I do and I think my husband is just fine to go along for the ride because he knows how happy it makes me. In 2009 we decided to … Read more
This is Jared at about age 7. These are two costumes we had from earlier years we thought would look good sewed together, it took alittle patience and some vision but I think the work paid off.It looks great and is very wearable and stylish, and with his cosplay while wearing it he brought it … Read more
I love making Halloween costumes for the kids, but I’ve noticed as they get older, the costume choices are becoming more challenging! This year, my 7 yo son hit me with a real stumper – he wanted a Minecraft Ender Dragon, with wings that ‘really worked’. Ok. No problem. Anyone who knows minecraft, knows how … Read more
Apparently a simple loving couples costume is to much to ask for from a girl and guy who love fantasy. I have always loved dragon and my boyfriend has (somehow) always been cool with this. This year I saw a cute costume online and loved it BUT it cost a total of $400 once you … Read more
This is a great costume for a young boy or girl who enjoys dragons! My son is in Pre-K and they had a book report due in a week. They had to choose their favorite book, create a poster board about it and dress up like a character from the story. Well leave it up … Read more
This fire breathing dragon costume may very well be the tallest costume in America if not the world, standing an astonishing 18 feet tall, with a wingspan of about 18 feet as well, a ten foot long tail which functions like a real tail for counter balance. I’m on stilts and have indoor pyrotechnics in … Read more
This year my girls wanted to be something fun and original for Halloween… again. Every year my girls come up with bigger, better and more original (i.e. complicated) ideas. I don’t know if I am going to be able to keep up with their ingenuity in the years to come. My youngest wanted to be … Read more
My boyfriend and I went as a unicorn and dragon couple costume for Halloween! I actually started our costumes last year, but a rogue blizzard rolled in and cancelled our party plans in 2011. Anyone could easily be a mythical creatures couple! For starters, I don’t have a sewing machine, so I kind of just … Read more
Wasn’t sure what to do for Halloween and I always love to be different. I stopped in a Halloween store to look for a dress and I mentioned to them that it would be so cool to have someone paint a design all over me. Wasn’t sure what , but that’s what came to my … Read more
