Costumes

I love intricate costume pieces. I love detail and craftsmanship. I love the richness and how it elevates a look.

In my end-of-year quest to actually get ahead of things, I created a few New Year’s Eve crowns to welcome in 2023. I may be running behind for Christmas, but …

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We are at that point where the holidays pile up on top of each other.

If you’ve poked around this site for more than a hot minute, you may have noticed that, when it comes to holiday costuming, the more kitschy and ugly, the better.

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.

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.

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

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

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

When working on a project’s supply list, I may not know the proper name of the item I need, and sometimes, I’m uncertain if the item even exists.
