Fleur Delacour Costume

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=313464.msg3604270#msg3604270

Prendolyn the Weird blogs all Harry Potter crafts, all the time at Wilcox Wizard Wear. Click through to read five posts detailing how she made this wonderful Fleur Delacour costume to wear to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She did everything from sewing the dress and capelet to painting a pair of shoes to making the wool hat. (Is there a verb for hat making? Besides hat making?) I am in awe and plan on spending some quality time reading her entire blog.

Quickie Halloween Costumes: T-shirts

Chewbacca T-shirt

Ok, not really a craft, but if you’re lazy and a procrastinator, or just like to laugh, take a look at the Top 20 Halloween Costume T Shirts – for those times when you must dress up but just feel line wearing a tee. Many are quite geeky like the Chewbacca tee above.

Maybe these will give you some ideas on some to make yourself. (Do share!)

Half-Life Headcrab Zombie Costume

Headcrab Zombie Costume

Craftster user melyssa_marie made this super costume for her boyfriend of a Headcrab Zombie from Valve’s Half-Life. The crab itself is made from vinyl and paint. She was so clever with the guts on the shirt…a fake apple split in half and a fake loaf of bread!

P.S. She made her present costume too, which cracks me up because my parents did that to me when I was five. It was horrible because in kindergarten that day we were cutting out shapes to make Halloween mobiles and I couldn’t cut because I could barely move my arms. Childhood tragedies.

Yakko Warner at RCCC

This is actually the second time I’ve posted about a Yakko Warner cosplay, and I think this one takes the cake!

Brady Danger Gage creates amazing costumes. This Yakko Warner was created for the 2016 Rose City Comic Con in Oregon. Brady also made Wakko and Dot Warner costumes as well, AND he created costumes for those costumes: Batman for Yakko, Superman for Wakko, and Wonder Woman for dear little Dot. They were surprises for the awesome Keith Tucker, based on his own artwork.

And if you click here, you’ll be able to watch a short video of Rob Paulsen, talented voice-over artist and the voice of Yakko, meeting the Animaniac in real life.

From a practical point of view, if you’ve ever thought about making a mascot-type foam head for a costume, you might want to check out Brady’s Facebook page. He’s got a series of pictures that show how to stack the foam, how to start sketching on the faces, and how to wrap it in fabric. It’s a good tutorial.
