All Things Costume & Halloween

The ghost is another one of my favorite Halloween icons, and I love a good ghost story.

When I switched gears from having a Halloween shop to starting a Halloween blog, one thing I knew was that I wanted to create my own designs.

The clown has been a Halloween staple for some time now, but I’ve never been a fan.

Do you have last-minute holes to fill with little to no time to pull them together, or is it just me?

I’m a fan of bats, and not just on Halloween, so it’s no surprise that I’ve done several projects featuring these little flying foxes.

What is one to do when the costume in a bag is what you got but not what you want? Accessorize.

Armed with a hot glue gun, felt, paper, fabric, and other odds and ends, I’ve been known to quickly create something from nothing in under two hours.

I haven’t been to a circus since our kiddos were little, but we enjoyed the acrobatics and the animals. The clowns? Not so much.

One of my most favorite books in my library is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, also known as The Modern Prometheus.

With the clock ticking and no time to spare, grabbing a glue gun, some felt, and embellishments may be all that’s needed to pull off that costume or party piece.

There’s one major holiday standing between now and Halloween, but that’s not keeping some stores from putting out pumpkins.

I get excited about items I can use in multiple applications, and Halloween pieces are no exception.
