Halloween
halloween is my favorite holiday! this year i got a beautiful print at home mask as the main piece to my costume. i love being able to make a cool costume, save some money and be crafty all at the same time.
this is how it started out. i printed it out, stuck it to poster board and then glued on all the colored glitter paper. the design came from wintercroft.com - check them out, there are some really amazing designs there! i purchased the halloween pack which meant that i also got a skull, bat and devil mask. i made both the bat and skull masks in my preparation for this one. one of the coolest things is that they encourage you to use found paper - they use a cereal box in the tutorial video. that keeps it low cost and environmentally friendly. perfect!
the dress that i wore for halloween also required that i find some high heels because the dress is slightly too long. i couldn't find any that were cheap enough for me to wear only once or twice that also matched the rest of my outfit. so, crafty me, i decided to glitterize some cheap heels i got at goodwill (for $2.50!). after taping up the parts that shouldn't have glitter, i used regular elmer's glue and dumped the glitter on. after it dried i used a spray sealer to keep the glitter from falling off (too much).
and here is the final! i'm so happy about how it turned out!
