My friend Meredith alerted me to this super cute Princess Leia baby costume on Craftster, which kibblesandknits made for her daughter’s first Halloween! LOVE it. She says it cost her $3 and took her less than 3 hours to pull off – there’s still time…
Julie from Gleeful Things has put together a roundup 7 halloween themed tutorials, including 2 different ways to sew together a bat and super cute/creepy crochet candy corn cyclops’ (alliteration ftw!)… enjoy!
Hi everyone! I’m Charlotte and I am a new writer for Geek Crafts. I’m a Yorkshire lass born and bred; that’s Yorkshire in England if you don’t know. I am an avid crafter that dabbles in all areas of crafting. I love baking ever since I was 4 and making biscuits with my Gran. I also enjoy sewing, making toys and clothes, as-well as embroidery and cross stitch. I also dabble in miniature painting, I am getting rather good at it if I say so myself. I am also geeky as well as a crafter. I love anything Sci-Fi and Fantasy, particularly Doctor Who, Harry Potter and Dungeons & Dragons. I have always been a geek, I used to be attached to my Game boy Colour from the moment it came out playing on Pokemon. I love pirate, fairies, stripy socks and shiny things!
Until my next post I bid you farewell!
If you havn’t entered Burdastyle’s Bernina Halloween Competition this year you’re too late! but here are my picks of this years cutest and geekiest offerings:
I absolutely have to stress that this is just a small snapshot of the HUNDREDS of entries, you burdastylers have really cranked it up a notch this year! See the whole list of entries here.
My ABSOLUTE favourite is Sassy-Pants‘ light up Angler Fish Costume just for the fact that it will probably genuinely scare the bejesus out of anyone who’s lucky/unlucky enough to be on Sissy-Pants’ boy’s trick or treating route.
Dmajen‘s Ash Ketchum costume, Ananda473‘s Buzz Lightyear costume and Suewanda‘s Link Costume (not pictured), all get credit for being super accurate and detailed.
While Vivat Veritas‘ Flower and Bee Costume, Lsekiya‘s Angry Birds Pig Costume, Ananda473‘s Toy Story Alien Costume, JessicaScissor‘s Ewok Costume, Dneimat‘s Dinosaur Costume and Sparney‘s Sushi Costume, all get the ‘dawww!!’ award for dressing your freaking adorable babies and toddlers in the most geeky and eye-wateringly cute costumes imaginable.
Well Done everyone!
