Here’s another cool Nightmare Before Christmas costume – Oogie Boogie. Craftster user ashleyjustine sewed this out of burlap and padded it with polyester fiber fill. She posted another picture showing the insects she added coming out of him, but because I’m terrified at the mere image of bugs, you’ll have to click through for that one.
What trip to England would be complete without a large amount of Doctor Who trivia, sight seeing and, of course, the new Doctor Who Experience at the Travel Museum in Coventry. As soon as my sister-in-law mentioned it, months before our trip, it became a cemented part of our plans. I mean, yes, it is nice to sit in a pub that was once frequented by C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carrol, great to take in the medieval architecture, and wonderful to get real, authentic fish’n’chips. But I’m a geek, and geeks like what geeks like, and this geek likes (loves, actually) Doctor Who.
Craftster user LittleMissMoonshine made this very clever Math Clock for her boyfriend with equations for each hour. This might take me a little while to determine the time :)
I mentioned last month that I was hoping to make a Yoda costume for my daughter Pearl, and yay, I finished it! I wrote it up as a tutorial for CRAFT: as part of their big Halloween round-up.
This is a super easy project to do if you sew — I finished it within a week. My favorite parts to make were the hat (I used Heather Mann‘s tutorial and actually made a little set of three in different sizes),
and the snake.
Please let me know if you make a Yoda costume too, I’d love to see it!
Lisa Ashby of the Modern Homemaker posted a tutorial of this Pee Wee Herman stencil she made with contact paper. Anyone got any Pee Wee Herman costumes?
If you’re looking for a Halloween costume that is just obscure enough, then discomeat at craftster has got one for you! This is her husband dressed in the Brak Costume she made him for a costume contest. Anybody can pull of a Space Ghost costume, but I think you’ve got to have a certain “I don’t-know-what” to pull of Brak.
