…that? This pandemic has been tough for so many people, and for me personally with my small business being impacted, as well as creatively. I need an outlet to express myself and interact with people and with so many events being canceled it has been hard. I first was doing zoom visits back in March/April/May but come summer people wanted to get outside and stop staring at their computers. I knew that full scale events wouldn’t be happening again…

…f bottoms to smooth and even them out. Coat with one coat of gesso thoroughly. Allow to dry, and apply two thin coats of Mod Podge, allowing for drying time in between. Make sure you get all of your foam covered, as your spray can destroy the foam if not adequately applied. Spray with black Plastidip, applying coats as needed, and allowing for drying time in between steps. Take each individual cone, and trace a circle 3/4”-1” longer than all edges…

…dime on your Halloween costume this year, but don’t want to go as a slightly more drunk version of yourself (again), try one of these costume ideas. Not only are they inexpensive, lots of them can be made up at the very last minute. 1. An athlete If you don’t have a jersey laying around somewhere, I’m sure someone in your inner circle does. While dressing up as an athlete is the type of costume you see frat bros who couldn’t be bothered to put an…

…inst. We wanted the monsters plans to steal the nougat candy to more directly affect all the characters in our town, so we updated the CQ monster mythos quite a bit. More than anything, we just wanted to hit the sweet and unique tone of the games while still re-inventing the story to work as a TV show. What shows or games influenced your creative direction with Costume Quest? Oh man, so many! As mentioned, Power Rangers and Charlie Brown, but also…

…ded videos showing how to create a skull smile, an evil clown mask, or simply one bloody gash in your forehead. But, as you’ve probably noticed firsthand, watching one YouTube tutorial doesn’t make you an expert, and sometimes your fool-proof Halloween idea ends up being a major fail. To help you plan ahead this year, we interviewed professional SFX makeup artists about the top mistakes people make when trying to do their own costume makeup. Take…

…in your Velcro accordingly, such that the straps open and close appropriately. Lastly, cut a strip of muslin that measures a few inches thick, with a length that matches the measurement of your waist, plus a few inches extra. Attach Velcro to either end of this strip, which will serve as your belt. Step Thirteen: Now the fun part! To distress your apron and make it look rotted and bloody, fill your spray bottle with a few cups of water. Pour in a…

…preferred the look of my bodysuit without them, but you may feel differently. Try the bodysuit on and carefully pin (or hold) the bottom pieces shut to see if you like the way the edge of the leg openings fit. If you choose to add elastic, do so before closing off the ends, that way it’s easier to feed the elastic through and stitch the loop closed. Pro Tip: This pattern calls for you to cut 2 pieces of the FRONT view piece and sew them together….

…zipper. Step 6: As an optional step, you may choose to cut your overlay a bit shorter. I chose to do this to more closely resemble Zelda’s overlay. To do this, map out your new length with your disappearing ink pen. Pin your edges down so that they don’t slide around while you’re cutting. Once you’ve cut your overlay, hem it and finish the bottom edge off with another strip of your purple bias tape. Step 7: Sew your rose bud trim along the bottom…

…en. But we’ll see, I’m not sure. If my friends are doing something and it’s a group thing, I might dress up as something. And you’ll see it on my IG. And the last question was, which role of yours did you enjoy wardrobe the most for. It probably would have to be The Umbrella Academy. I actually also did a movie recently that I can’t wait to tell you guys about, where I just loved my wardrobe in that as well. But probably, right now, at number one,…

…t can be a bit tough for the sewing machine to sew through, so take it really slowly. Once your done sewing, flip the pieces right sides out and then use a needle and thread to sew the opening shut. Finally, top stitch over all the edges. Now you want to take the measuring tape and measure from your mid back, over your shoulders, under the arms, and back up your back to just below the mid back. For my cosplay, this measurement was about 32″ long….
