So, as you know, I've been working on a Sandflea costume for about eight months: here, here, and here.
Well, the costume is completed! Not only is it completed, but I recorded an episode of AO on how to make it. =] View that HERE.
For those of you that would prefer to have a written instruction of making it, well, you came to the right place.
MASK
Materials:
- Black, Stretchy, See-Through Fabric (1/2 yard)
- 2" Diameter SmoothFoam Balls (2, or how ever many you want)
- Thumbtack (one per eyeball)
- White Fun Foam (about a 5" square)
- Safety Pin (1)
- Sewing Pins
- Sewing Machine
- Chalk (or Fabric Pen)
- Markers (black, and other colors)
- Hot Glue Gun
Procedure:
Hood:
- Take black fabric and pull it tight around your face.
- Pin it in the back around the shape of your head.
- Use the chalk to trace the curve of your head onto the fabric.
- Sew along the chalk line. Test and sew until it fits the shape of your head.
- Cut off excess along the outside. (keep it long though, to tuck into sweater)
- Flip hood inside out.
Eyes:
- Take foam ball and using a marker, draw a black circle about the size of a penny.
Mouth:
- Go to the Sandfleas website, and go to the "In Your Face" game. Pick your desired mouth.
- Draw out mouth on fun foam.
- Cut out mouth.
- On back out mouth, horizontally tape or hot glue safety pin.
- Put on hood and chalk where you want the eyes. (I like putting them right above my actual eyes, on my forehead)
- Take of hood. Stick tack through the back of the chalk mark and stick on the eye. (repeat for each desired eye)
- Try on again to make sure it's what you want, before you make it permanent.
- Take of hood. Take off eye and coat tack in hot glue. Replace eye.
- Put on hood and pin mouth where desired.
It's a Freddy Kruger sweater. go find one. If it's Halloween, go to Hot Topic.
Hey guys,
IRON CROSS NECKLACE
This one looks good.
PANTS
These are important. If you forget these you'll look silly. And possibly get arrested.
If I think of more things to add to this, I will.
