Happy Halloween! I thought long and hard about what would be my main event costume for the end of this daily costumed month and I’m glad I went with the Sexy Female Gremlin costume as it has turned out ACE! It was a pretty big effort on the make-up front, but I think I did pulled…

Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice Costume
I loved Beetlejuice as a kid! So today I have taken on Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice where they have their monster/scary stretchy faces. The mask was made with just folded paper on top of a cap, so I’m pretty stoked with how well it turned out on such a dodgy concept. Photo credit: Noodle Noo…
Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons Costume
Today I am REALLY proud of my Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons costume! I have been planning this one for a while and have been quite lazy/procrastinating from actually making it. But now that I have finally put it together I’m really happy with it! Photo credit: Noodle Noo Silver robot head: Homemade from…
Pusheen the Cat Costume (with Scooter)
Today I have dressed as my favourite Facebook sticker character – Pusheen! While there were a few emoticons to choose from with Pusheen, one of my favourites is when she is on her scooter, which is the one I have chosen to re-create.

Sharknado Costume
Today I have taken on the terrible-on-purpose film Sharknado, dressing as a tornado of sharks. This is a great example of using household items such as plastic bags to create a fun and inventive costume.

Sloth from The Goonies Costume
Growing up, The Goonies was one of my favourite films, and while I have already covered The Goonies with a previous costume of Data, I had yet to dress up as Sloth, whose relationship with Chunk was one of the most endearing sub-plots of the film.

Magic Mirror from Snow White Costume
Today is another easy one for your Halloween needs with this Magic Mirror from Snow White costume. All you need to do is paint a plain mask you get from Hot Dollar and then create a mirror frame from gold cardboard.

Mounted Deer Head Costume
A while back I saw an image of this amazing face paint that made you a deer, and I’ve been keeping it in my back-pocket until I could think of something more to do with this than just a deer costume, so I’ve opted to create a mounted deer head costume that is a bit…
Jigsaw from Saw Costume
I feel as if I haven’t had enough ‘scary’ costumes for the build up to Halloween, so that’s why today I’ve attempted Jigsaw from Saw. Someone I’ve come off creepy, but quite as real and creepy as Jigsaw, it’s probably because I don’t have eyes as black as death. My bad. Photo credit: Frosted Tips…
Krumm from Ahh!!! Real Monsters Costume
Today I have decided to do a throwback to a childhood favourite – Ahh!!! Real Monsters – with my Krumm costume. It’s a pretty funny costume in real life, so if you end up doing it for a party, it will be high-fives all round fo’ sure! Photo credit: Window to Happiness Skin-colour top: Forever…
