Favorite Halloween Ideas: DIY Costumes

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Costuming? I'm in costume as I write this entry. Guess which one I'm wearing:

The Raven (no sew)
An homage to Edgar Allen Poe's famous creepy poem.
*tip: Buy a black-feather boa and clip individual feathers for headpiece, wrist cuffs, and tail following Martha's instructions. Best to glue beak to a plain, black store-bought mask, otherwise it's too uncomfortable. The black tulle is important to give the bustle volume so don't skimp on materials!











Tulle Ghost (no sew)
Can you imagine seeing someone in this get-up on a moonlit, foggy Halloween night? Get me some Depends.
*tip: Try to find the wider 108" tulle for easier, wider coverage and better effect.











Spiderweb Mother & Baby Spider
So cute! I really want to make a spider costume like this for my black lab. (Not attached to me! Too heavy.)


Even your notoriously party-pooper friends won't object to wearing these gorgeous masks to your Halloween party. The black one would pair perfectly with the Raven costume, wouldn't it?
*tip: use
