r/Halloween_Costumes

Hello everyone! My new search and find book focused in Kids, which is called Halloween Search and Find Adventures, was just released yesterday! This is a book I would love to read if I were able to be a kid again lol. In each page, you must find a specific character (Dracula, Dr. Frankenstein, etc) hosting its own Halloween party in a specific and funny location, like Draculas Castle, Ghost Mansion house, etc. there are some lost objects too. If you have any questions, may you be an author, illustrator or a reader, I would love to talk more about my process creating this book. Just ask me here and I will answer right away. Thanks!

I have a strange addiction/hobby: I design costume armor for 3D printing. And with two jobs, a baby on the way, and ongoing home renovations and I don't have time to meticulously sand my costume armor pieces anymore.

In order to save precious time (*cough*, cut corners...) I printed my latest design, these vambraces, out of ASA, a material similar to ABS. I then used a small amount of acetone to vapor-smooth the pieces into a high quality, high durability gloss black finish. The whole thing was fast and effortless! It was then a one-step process to make them look metallic, with a single layer of Alclad II paint and a clear coat.

I'm stoked! While the elbow geometry is not *perfect* the way I'd want it, the overall piece is a highly functional part very close to the historical references I used, and the manufacturing time of this cosplay piece was a fraction of the usual time I take to finish my armor pieces. I plan to make a tutorial on Youtube for those who may want to do the same.

I hope you like my work! Cheers!

My son has always requested unusual Halloween costumes, since he was old enough to play pretend and find joy in dressing up in costumes. I never learned to sew, so any costumes I make are held together with hot glue, Velcro and a prayer. This was a particularly fun costume to make, with the most challenging component being the duct tape “harness”. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

We believe it's never too early to start prepping for Halloween!

We wanted to create an original dark fantasy character, so I designed and FDM printed this magical staff. To make it look like an ancient, realistic relic, my wife did an amazing job with thick primers, real silver leaf, and weathering acrylics.

The raw plastic was totally transformed. If anyone else is starting their Halloween prop building early and has a 3D printer, I put the files up for free:https://makerworld.com/it/models/2370731-moonlit-arcanist-staff#profileId-2594605

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a prop we just finished. I did the 3D design and printing, and my wife Ambra did an amazing job with the painting and weathering to make it look ancient and realistic. 🎨

I thought it would be perfect for anyone putting together a dark, gothic, or Halloween costume.

If you happen to have a 3D printer (or a friend who has one), I uploaded the 3D files completely for free. You can grab them here: https://makerworld.com/it/models/2784170-gothic-elegance-skull-hand-mirror#profileId-3094750

What kind of costume would you pair this with?

How can I make this upside down ice cream drip into a pastel wig? What could I use for the drips that are glossy? A real ice cream cone? Or styrofoam cone rolled up with brown paper? I’ve watched videos on white wall spackling, glue, and cornstarch- how did they do this? Already planning my CarnEvil theme with Cotton Candy Dan and Eye Scream clown- wanted to do a pastel, sexy clown outfit with this amazing wig idea and serve cotton candy to the kids…more makeup inspiration…
