Homemade Halloween Costumes

Shrine to my beloved R.L. Stine. That's supposed to be him by the way..I never said I was a sculptor.

Everyone thought I was a dinosaur instead of a carnivorous plant. It would have helped if I had time to construct the flower pot to wear around my waste. My boyfriend made the perfect Seymour though!

Audrey II mask from Little Shop of Horrors. Well, I tried. I have all of these great ideas for Halloween costumes but am not so great at the construction part.

Adam and Barbara Maitland from Beetlejuice! The masks were uncomfortable, but we did win 2nd prize through our local newspaper! If you would like to take a stab at making these, I used this link for directions: http://www.instructables.com/id/Adam-and-Barbara-Maitland-Costumes-from-BeetleJuic/?ALLSTEPS

Some of the teeth got knocked out, even after hot-gluing them several times.

I had to glue a wig to the back to cover the head band part, and had to line the inside of the mask so my face would get hurt with the rough edges and weight. I'm sure there are better ways to re-create these.

Painted and finished!

The making of the masks. I actually really hate sculpting/making things as I am not good at it at all. The masks are deceptive looking. They are uncomfortable and heavy!
