Craft Challenge #44 - DIY Halloween Costumes 2009 - Due Nov 1 - Nov 5 2009

11/13/09 - Winner chosen!

Congrats to thebeatcowboy for her entry titled, WoW: troll shaman and orc warrior!
Read all about her project here:  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=326767.0



Check out the blog featuring a bunch of the other entries as well!  http://www.craftster.org/blog/?p=5881

11/06/09 - Time to vote!  Scroll up for the poll...

11/01/09 - The entry board is open!  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=432.0

It's that time again!  Time to showcase all of those amazingly creative DIY Halloween costumes of this season.  We had some awesome entries in 2008 and 2006, and now it's your turn.  Get crafting, snap some photos and enter Challenge #44!

Here are a few specifics for this challenge:

  • The costume you enter must have some handmade components, and it must be a costume you are making for this year and not photos of costumes from past years.
  • If you are making a costume for someone else, and not for yourself to wear, it's fine and dandy to enter it, but just remember that you can only have one entry in this contest.
  • If you are making a set of multiple costumes for multiple people that all go together via some theme, you can enter them together as one entry.

Rules:

  • Post your craft during the period of Nov 1 - Nov 5 2009. No sooner. No later. On Nov 1 there will be a special folder created for entries.
  • Voting will happen from Nov 6 - Nov 12 2009.
  • Each participant can enter ONE project. (Although your entry can have multiple components to it.)

Originality:

It's probably impossible to know whether your project is 100% original and has never been posted on Craftster or made by anyone else in the past.  But if your project was definitely inspired by something you've seen before, then just give credit to that project.

Prizes:

At the end, I'll set up a poll right here and the first place winner will get...

(1) their project in the Featured Projects area
(2) their project in the Craftster Blog

And this prize (winner can receive prize in U.S. or non-U.S.):

Any one item from one of Craftster's online shops!
