Bellatrix Lestrange Costume

Check out this hyper-movie- accurate Bellatrix costume made by Burdastlyle user and blogger Cation Designs.

Aside from looking… well… amazing there are a few other awesome things about this project and this crafter that makes me love it even more:

  1. She’s a science teacher!
  2. The corset was made from thrifted leather pants (yeyy for recycling!!)
  3. In a post about Harry Potter she mentions Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

UPDATE: Cindy from Cation Designs has just updated her blog with a tutorial on how you can make your own Bellatrix corset. You can see the tutorial here.

Renee’s Top 3 Costumes

When we decided to each pick our top three Halloween costumes from the last two months, I knew I had a tough job ahead of me. We found so much pure gold this year, and it was really hard to choose just three, but I did my best. So without further adieu, my top three:

The Yip Yips by Tracy Lawson, they are sparkly, cute, and nostalgic! What more could you want? And if you’re going to be an adult in a Sesame Street costume, please, please, do not dress up as Elmo!

Two: Baby Elvis Costume! Seriously, at what other time has a kid so small rocked so much (I’m excluding toddlers with mohawks for this one)? CuriousFae did an awesome job on this one! (via craftster).

And last but not least: THE GORE! Halloween is historically about death and ghosts, and GORE, why else did I rent three horror movies to watch tonight? The Dissection Costume wins on the gore factor! To make it even cooler, jessicution didn’t go to the Halloween super store to pick this number up, it is all made from scratch, even the fake blood! Totally awesome! (via craftster).

Yip Yip Costume

Yip Yip Costume

Yip! Yip! Okay, so Sesame Street may not be the first thing you think of when you think of Halloween, or even geek crafts. Fine, but you have to admit these costumes are pretty awesome! Traci Lawson posted this great Yip Yip Costume with full instructons on her blog dedicated to children’s video games. Even if you don’t see yourself making your own Yip Yip Costume, I still suggest checking the instructional blog out, so you can see a video of Traci and her friend Yip Yipping in New York City.

Rubik’s Cube Costume

rubiks-costume

Cardboard + duct tape + colorful paint= perhaps the coolest geeky costume ever. Designerd posted this baby at instructables, and it’s just amazing. The added detail of making each square on this Rubik’s Cube Costume appear “twistable” makes this a cardboard box costume that takes a little more than some spray paint and accrodian tubes for arms, but would be so worth the trouble.
