These Nightmare Before Christmas costumes are so cool I let out a string of expletives when I saw them on Craftster. Suzhy made these Jack Skellington and Sally costumes for her sister and herself to wear to the Elf Fantasy Fair in The Netherlands. Definitely click through to see more photos and read all about how she made these. The only part she didn’t make herself was Jack’s gloves!
Geek Crafts reader Brenna Friesner, aka librarylolita on Craftster, who brought us the Zombie Potato Costume, sent in this Super Mario Bros. Blooper Ghost costume.
Knitter extraordinaire Vickie Howell has designed not one but two awesomely geeky sets of wrist warmers, and both patterns are free online! This week she published the Alice Wrist Warmers pattern over at CRAFT:, inspired by the upcoming New Moon movie… these would be perfect to complete your Twilight-inspired Halloween costume in style!
And her Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers are a favorite from last year that are just the thing to knit up as the temperature drops. This pattern is available in kids’, women’s or men’s sizes and includes a handy (and cute) charted image for creating your mushroom.
Now that I’ve watched The Goonies with my son, I can say that it’s just as good as when I was his age. Craftster user spareGus cross-stitched (along with some other stitches) “Goonies Never Say Die” and did a fantastic job.
I can’t say it enough – I love tiny things. This Severus Snape doll is fabulous on its own, but check out the tiny potion ingredients and wand to use with his tiny cauldron. Check out the rest of MamanTattoo‘s stuff of Craftster, including a Luna Lovegood and other Harry Potter goodies.
Another *cute* Cthulhu, but here is one from Craftster user FicklePegasus. She crocheted this baby blanket complete with pacifier holder. And in case you were thinking Cthulhu for Halloween, don’t forget this costume.
