>>7147799
Thanks, that's what I was thinking, I just wasn't completely sure because of the blonde bits at the end. But it's just a semi-rushed Hallowe'en costume, I guess I don't need 100% accuracy.

So I was planning on being the guy in the bear costume from the Folie A Deux cover for Halloween but I have no sewing skills. I was thinking about possibly just getting a bear kigurumi and carrying a big teddy bear around on my back but I don't know how well that would work. Any suggestions?

Make him go as another Japanese urban legend or a yokai/ayakashi (kappa, tengu, nurarihyon, etc.). Clearly the cheapest option for yokai is kappa. If he has a big nose, tengu is his best option. There, couple cosplay for you. Now go do your research.

Looking to create a reusable beard that can be removed easily and looks decent. I've done some research, and know to look for crepe hair/wool and to use either liquid latext applied with spirit gum, but had heard that the liquid latex doesn't last very long- like 4 or 5 uses.

I'm thinking of getting either pantyhose or one of those wig caps I've seen at costume shops and cutting it to shape, and either using the aforementioned adhesives or fabric glue to apply the hair.

Anyone have any experience with this that thinks that this would/would not work?

And any idea what stores would carry the hair? Joanns, Michaels, spirit/Halloween city, party city?

A skull airsoft mask, two plague doctor masks, a metal skull viking helmet, a leather goblin mask that I made myself. a black spandex full face mask, a ski mask with the face of death from soul eater on it.

I ordered a costume for Halloween (looking to get into sewing in the future, but wouldn't have anything even sort of presentable by Halloween). It arrived today and the skirt portion is absolutely massive. Other than being pissed off (I paid extra to have this custom-sized and it's not even close - probably close to a US 12/14 and I'm a US 2), is this worth tailoring? I've never been to a tailor before and don't really know what to expect. Salvageable?

Eidolon cosplay. I had a few people recommend them, and the character I got the outfit for is niche enough that there were very few other options, unfortunately.

Any advice would be very welcome. This is just a mockup for now. I was going for more of a fawn (as in just the baby deer) rather than the magical creature faun. But on realizing I'll probably need to cover the headband I attach the antlers to with flowers I'm leaning more towards the latter. I got some advice on screwing them on which I could have got my dad to do (I'm useless with that sort of thing) only I'm going back to college and won't be able to ask him. So what is the most secure way to attach them and does anyone have a link to a suitable headband?

also with regard to what i'm wearing on my body would a brown dress and petti be appropriate? I'm going to a club in this and don't reall want it to be a "slutty_insert animal" kind of thing.

and should I style the wig? how can I refined the makeup? ANY advice welcome.

[Anonymous No.7152816]

>>7152624

The antlers look lovely, try a headband like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-COLOR-WIDE-PLASTIC-HEADBAND-HAIR-BAND-ACCESSORY-WHOLESALE-LOTS-SATIN-HEADWEAR-/270845245913?pt=US_Hair_Accessories&var=&hash=item3f0fa279d9

Putting screws into the antlers isn't as hard as it seems - alternatively you could get some really strong glue but I hope the antlers aren't too heavy.

The dress sounds good, maybe make a small tail and attach it at the back? Might be cute.

About the makeup: It seems a bit orange, better go for a brown makeup. Also, google "fawn maukep" that shit was trending on tumblr some time ago so you will find a lot of examples.

Hello /cgl/,

I'm not very girly, but I really love sheep - so this year I've decided to dress as Little Bo Peep. I have my outfit really close to done (need to add a bow to my crook and make longer straps on a Shaun the Sheep backpack) buuuttt....

I don't know how this make-up thing works. I looked up a sweet lolita video online and I swear this girl used 5 different products on her lips alone. I don't think I own 5 cosmetic products!

Can I just vent a little here about my Halloween costume? I'm kind of sewing challenged. I need straight up step by step instructions most of the time when it comes to sewing otherwise I just don't get it at all.
And for Halloween my friends and me were going to do Lord of the Rings, and my job was to make the cloaks. I got everything all good, the hemming, etc, but when it came to the hoods, I just fucked up so bad. I was following that Alleycatscratch pattern, but her hood instructions were so incomprehensible to me, in the end, all the hoods wound up too small. I think they're all supposed to sit loose around your face when you pull them up, but because they're so small, it's kind of tight around your face and sticks up a little at the forehead as if it were a little cap.
I'm so upset over it because I put a lot of effort into it, and all of my friends are assuring me that they love them and they look super cute, but I wanted them to look as accurate as I could.

So I was thinking of being Beaker but I'm not too sure it's a good idea. The actual clothing won't be an issue, it's the face. All the pictures I see are with a mask and I can't really wear a mask since I have to wear it at work and it's important for me to see. I was thinking about putting blush all over my face and hands to be more pink and maybe buying a clown nose and spray painting it orange (if an orange nose isn't readily available). I'm not sure what kind of wigs are available on this short notice.

So, I'm in the process of making an astronaut costume. Can't decide if I want to throw a cowboy hat on it and be a space cowboy, but I that's a decision for another time...

What could I use for an astronaut helmet styled similarly to pic related? I was thinking either a really large plastic fishbowl or a clear plastic bowl as the face shield with some sort of opaque bowl to form the back. Maybe a cloth covering to make it look more realistic. I plan on wiring on a sound module, LEDs, and a battery pack so that it flashes with the beat at parties.

Other elements are going to include a white painter's suit, tan palladium 8" canvas boots, a white backpack, and black gloves.

Any suggestions for the helmet would be much appreciated! It's also pretty close to Halloween, so I'm mainly looking for things that can be found in average brick and mortar stores.

Hey spookheads, I would like to make myself a costume, I have loads of spare time and I need a hobby. I have this Deadpool costume I ordered last year. I got fucked over and it's way too tight unfortunately. A big problem to it also is that it's hard to see through the white eyes. I was wondering if I could switch the white parts with different kind of material or like stretch them more. I also want to try to separate the mask from the body of the suit but the zipper goes up to the back of my head. Still need to find all the straps and weapons but I guess that'll be easy. I would prefer to make a new costume involving a mask. So far the only ideas I have are the man from The Strangers (with the straw mask), shit I really have no idea. Not into anime, though. I like comics and movies. If I don't find anything I'll work on my Deadpool stuff.

Kind of stupid but I want to go as a younger Banehallow from DotA 2. Since I have less than a week to get in together, I figured I would just go for the pants, overcoat, boots, and beard/facial hair.

Where would be a good place to get pants like that and possibly an overcoat? It doesn't have to be exactly like it since I can attempt to make it look more like Banehallow's coat, but yeah, something sort of like it. Boots should be easy to get, as well as the hair.

I'm leaving off the shoulder armour since that's for battle and before the house of Ambry fell he wouldn't need to wear it all the time. Don't know if I want to do the bottom teeth either. I might.

I was doing a feminised TF2 Medic but I changed my mind last minute after I tried doing this girls makeup on my own face (pic related), and I stood at the door waiting for my boyfriend and actually scared the shit out of him.

The makeup looks so scary in real life, I even spooked myself looking in the mirror.

Bought some Mehron products to do this and I've never tried them and wow they're really good. definitely using their stuff in any upcoming costumes.

I just worked in a hair show where they cut it into a short deep red bob, I don't have time to get a wig or anything really elaborate and I was just told I have to go to two parties that night costume required, good at sewing in a rush but don't have any ideas. help?

I want to dress as Fix It Felix, but I don't think I have time to order patches for him online. Is there a way I could make them, or atleast a better alternative than just taping paper to my hat and shirt?

some kinda time-warp shaggy from scooby doo? i know the name implies shaggy hair but if you went with the same color scheme, carried a great-dane stuffed animal or something, and had various occult and weed paraphernalia on you it would probably be a hit?
i mean, google's kinda sparse but even this guy pulls it off okay, with plain clothes and a full beard. carry a box of cheese-its with a scooby snax label and you're set.

My prof is handing out extra credit if you dress up as a sewing related object/tool. Any ideas? Might spray paint a plate silver and call myself a rotary cutter considering how last minute this is....

I have a wig, jacket and school swimsuit that I used for a Gou cosplay last summer. I was thinking of using that, but adding some costume blood to show I was freebleeding. I think it would be a pretty funny pun, but is it maybe too gross?

This is just a test to see how recognised I'd be.

If I look like I do in the picture related, and wear rubber cleaning gloves and carry around a vacuum and a plate of cookies and a chocolate bar that says 'Mockolate' on it, will you guys know who I am?

I've never seen Friends (that's what I've gathered from searching Mockolate at least), so there's that. If you want to commit to being more recognizable, while I love your eyebrows, tweezing them down would make you look more like Monica (that's who you're being, I think?)

I am having an issue with creating my Halloween costume. I am going to be Chilihiro from Spirited Away. ( As pictured) I have the shorts, shoes and even soot balls to pin on me however I am having trouble making the shirt

I have tried fabric paint ( from a bottle and spray can) with every type of tape but no matter what I do I can't the paint bleeds giving me an uneven line.

Any tips or ideas? I was thinking to cut out the green stripes and glue them on using fabric paint. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

[Anonymous No.7168170]

>>7168151
Can you sew? Sewing on green fabric stripes (make sure it stretches the same amount and direction/s as the shirt you're using) will look so much better than paint or glue.

[Anonymous No.7168188]

>>7168151
how the hell are you painting it? just water down some fabric paint (but not so much that it bleeds) and do the outlines with a steady hand using a ruler as reference. (tape only really works on non-absorbent materials really)

I don't think I will have time to sew it on. I need it for halloween in two days and I work most of the day tomorrow, but I will keep it mind about the stretching.

>>7168188
easier said then done bro. Even with a ruler I have a feeling it would bleed through because the fabric is absorbent.

[Anonymous No.7168219]

>>7168207
Then don't water it down? Fabric paint usually sits on top of the fabric - I've never had an issue with it bleeding, even on delicate fabrics. Also, you can't use fabric paint as a substitute for glue. If you go that route, get real fabric glue or Heat n' Bond.

[Anonymous No.7168217]

>>7168207
just don't use a lot of water when doing the edges, then you can go nuts with it when you fill it in. Bleeding only happens when you use watery paint.

Don't use the ruler as a paint shield, just lay it next to the place you're making a line. do a quick one stroke then more careful tiny strokes.

[Anonymous No.7168221]

>>7168207
If you don't think you have time to sew it. Grab some heat and bond. Especially if it's only a Halloween costume. You could always sew it later.

I'm going as a last-minute female Beetlejuice this year, and I'm torn as to how to balance the cute/creepy factor. I'll be wearing it to work and a parade, if that's any help. So far I've got:

>black lace ankle boots
>b & w striped skinny jeans
>b & w striped wrap/blouse
>white blouse with a black, torn up bow
>a metric fuckton of makeup
>beetle earrings
>a little pin with Betelgeuse Pest Control on it
>some cross/hatchet/hacksaw charms to put on a necklace
>white/blonde party wig

The main thing I'm wondering is how nuts to go with my makeup and hair. I have fake moss and dirt to go just as wild as the film, and some really strong hair products to get that wig to stand on end. Any suggestions? Maybe putting a couple of bows in my hair, lipstick?

[Anonymous No.7168848]

Say, I have a question.
What would be the best place to get a string or small rope that won't snap under reasonable pressure so I can hang this bad boy around my neck? It's just foam board and I got it at just a retail store, but I couldn't think of what sections might have assorted lengths of string :V

not cosplay related but what the fuck ever this is a halloween general.

I bought a big round pumpkin, a mini pumpkin, and two white mini gourds. What should I carve them as?
I was thinking Totoro and those little sprite things.

Please note I don't have any fancy knives or proper carving tools so it needs to be fairly simple.

The white ones should be the little bobble head spirits in Princess Mononoke. Those little buggers are cute as fuck.

I want to go as a doll for halloween, but I"m not really sure how to achieve that look. I have false lashes, and I have concealer I can mix with white face paint to lighten my complexion. I also have an appropriate dress for it, but I"m not really sure what else I can do. I have circle lenses, but I've had them probably about a year and I haven't used them for a while, but they were in a solution. They're probably not usable now.
