c’est l’halloween
Tuesday, November 1 2011
My first DIY Hallowe’en costume was a success! I feel pretty proud for putting it all together. It wasn’t as hard or tricky as I had thought, and I actually enjoyed the whole process.
In preparing for going out for the Hallowe’en festivities and parties I contemplated making a bird mask, but ran out of time and energy. So I opted instead for makeup and Hallowe’en facepaint but I feel like it might have been too much. A plain old masquerade mask would’ve probably done the trick. Lis was La Calavera Catrina of Dia de los Muertos or Day of the dead. Her costume was pretty much a traditional scary costume. It was easy to throw together and yet still awesome.
great bird costume!
This is lovely! I’d like to make a child sized bird costume with this pattern in mind next year. xo
Karyn, I got the idea from a picture and instructions for a child sized version of this. There’s a picture and link for it in the blog post before this one. It would be super adorable for a little one!
That is amazing! Great costume and it’s 100% more awesome because you made it!
Thanks Lola! Loved your blog post about Fantastic Mr. Fox!
