I normally do very sexy costumes, but this year I decided to try the scary look. My boyfriend and I decided to do Mr. and Mrs. Freddy Krueger. I loved it. I put a slash on my face using scar putty and then two other marks on my neck. My boyfriend did his very own … Read more
Our son recently watched the old movie “Beetlejuice” that everyone loves! He fell in love with “Beetlejuice” so Beetlejuice he was. His costume got lots of “Ewww’s and Awww’s”. He had people stopping to take pictures of him. We had so much fun making this costume come to life for him. We put a lot … Read more
I decided to look through pictures for make up ideas this year. White make up has always been a challenge for me. I found a similar picture and went with it. This is How the Creepy DIY Costume with Orange Hair and Wicked Face was built: I purchased contacts, a hat, gloves, and a lot … Read more
Since Halloween 2013, I have been creating Neytiri. I was inspired by the movie. I bought a full bodysuit in blue from halfway across the globe and went to town modifing it. I modified the bodysuit by cutting out the chest and sewing in an inner bodylift suit, with bra, to give it more shape. … Read more

This Tooth Fairy costume idea took me a whole year of planning. It really wasn’t difficult to bring to life after I got the idea in my head. It took about 4 hours to apply the special effects make up on my face. I made the teeth part beforehand out of Kleenex and Latex. The … Read more
This year I was really excited to try my hands at creating a costume that was both interesting and fairly easy (and cheap!). The awesome thing about a skeleton face is that it is transformative.

I really loved the character from Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland, The Queen of Hearts. I began a long journey of trying to find just the right fabric to make it a close as possible to the screen version. After a couple of weeks I had not found what I wanted in fabric so I … Read more
I wanted my son to be Beetlejuice so bad, so even though he just turned two, I knew I had to try. I searched high and low for a tux in second hand stores, mainly because I felt unsure how it would turn out, and suits are expensive. I finally found one, but it was … Read more
