I mentioned last month that I was hoping to make a Yoda costume for my daughter Pearl, and yay, I finished it! I wrote it up as a tutorial for CRAFT: as part of their big Halloween round-up.
This is a super easy project to do if you sew — I finished it within a week. My favorite parts to make were the hat (I used Heather Mann‘s tutorial and actually made a little set of three in different sizes),
and the snake.
Please let me know if you make a Yoda costume too, I’d love to see it!
Lisa Ashby of the Modern Homemaker posted a tutorial of this Pee Wee Herman stencil she made with contact paper. Anyone got any Pee Wee Herman costumes?
If you’re looking for a Halloween costume that is just obscure enough, then discomeat at craftster has got one for you! This is her husband dressed in the Brak Costume she made him for a costume contest. Anybody can pull of a Space Ghost costume, but I think you’ve got to have a certain “I don’t-know-what” to pull of Brak.
Alexa Westerfield shares a tutorial on her blog, The Swell Life, to make these bloody pumpkins. I love the vampire bite.
Wow – check out these great crocheted monster eyes slippers! I love them – too bad my wife can’t make me some (she lacks the skillz).
