I’m the Weeping Angel. (DON’T Blink! Blink and you’re dead!) My 6 year old son, who is a big Whovian, is the 10th Doctor. I made both costumes. My dress is polyester covered with spray paint (black, gray, and white sprayed in that order) for the stone texture and look. I have nylons on my … Read more
This was a last minute idea as I procrastinated and the parties snuck up on me! It got me first place at party #1 of the season. I first applied a liquid to powder cover up that was a few shades darker than my skin color (not necessary but helps to ‘disguise’ yourself more). Then … Read more
My daughter was obsessed with Monster High but we both knew there would be a million Monster High characters and we wanted something more creative.

DANGEROUSLY CHEESEY! I always strive for the most creative costumes that girls my age have never thought of. Most of my friends go as Slutty Ghosts…but not me.

Have always been somewhat fascinated by Mexican Day of the Dead ‘Dia de los Murtes’ here in Ireland, the birthplace of Oiche Samhain (Halloween in Irish) we have … Read more
Our Wonderland Costumes…Don’t call me crazy, just call me “Mad”. Disclaimer: Just know that I am NOT a super seamstress…creative, maybe…but I cannot sew more then a straight line! It may also be added that my hubby is NOT a “dress up and go out” for Halloween kind of guy! BUT, he thoroughly enjoyed this years … Read more

I was inspired after seeing Cirque du Soleil’s OVO to make this costume. I loved everything about those costumes, but I wanted to be fancier! Therefore: GOLD. The legs are made of layered cardboard, paper mache, and PVC running down the center, like a hollow bone. They attach at the hips and ankles and through … Read more

The costume consisted of a store bought latex mask glued to a latex bald cap for full head coverage. The bald cap had … Read more
