All Things Costume & Halloween

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.

One of my favorite Halloween decorating methods involves webbing – lots and lots of webbing.

Of all the iconic images often associated with Halloween, the bat is among my favorites.

Skeletons, bats, and cats with glowing eyes, eerily lit faces carved into pumpkins, and candlelit lanterns –

I enjoy creating costume pieces and characters, but that doesn’t mean I always spend a lot of time on them.
