My beau pointed out these Beetlejuice inspired mittens to me last night, and I just can’t get over them. Damn Your Eyes posted these Beetlejuice Sand Worm Mittens on craftster. She used another mitten pattern to start and then added these awesome Beetlejuice touches! Perfect if you want to keep your hands warm and costumed for Halloween.
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.
As promised, here is another great costume idea from Alexa Westerfield, a Mona Lisa costume. Be sure to click through for instructions and ideas for other “masterpiece” costumes.
Alexa Westerfield has all sorts of awesome Halloween projects on her blog The Swell Life, including this deviled egg costume, complete with instructions. I’ll be posting another cool costume from Alexa tomorrow.
A Saturn Costume for Saturday. Perfect for an astronomy geek, or a pregnant lady like me! K1 posted this Saturn Costume she made for her son on the blog negative entropy. I really love it! Looking at the supplies needed, I loved it even more. One black long-sleeved shirt, fabric paint, markers, a foam ball, a hula hoop–and a beer. K1 notes that it is necessary tool for a parent making their kid a Halloween costume! (Note: If you were going to do this as a pregnancy costume as I mentioned earleir, you wouldn’t need the foam ball!)
