For these costumes I made my dress, hood, eye patch, and wounds, my boyfriend's ears, tail, pants, guts and cravat. I also did my boyfriend's make up, modified a coat to make his frock coat and bloodied up a perfectly good novelty hatchet to get the effect I wanted.

A peek at his tail


I loved my axe!

In this pic I'm a bit sweaty and disheveled after dancing like a mad woman

Just a normal evening out with a giant baby

During this busy ghoul and zombie season, what can be more important than a good set of guts?


I made these guts out of bicycle inner tubes. It's the first time I've tried making guts this way and I think they turned out alright. I think the design and arrangement need to be tweaked just a bit, but they aren't half bad.

From this picture can you tell what I'm going to be?


Does this help, or is it confusing?


Then there's no way a picture of part of my boyfriend's costume is going to help


Here's a pic of my almost finished dress


Yes, they're couple's costumes, so maybe these next pics will help



I made everything above except for the teeth. The hatchet I just took a cheap plastic prop and bloodied and dirtied it up a bit. Completed costume pics to come soon!

My boyfriend's kid was a zombie girl scout this year for Halloween, so of course she had to have some badges!

Here they are:


There's limb reattachment


arm gnawing


lurking


and (of course) brain eating!

(unfortunately I don't have a close up of this badge after I colored in the knife and fork)

I want to make a few more, just for myself and I want to fully embroider them instead of just using a backstitch outline.

This is the first project I've actually posted to Craftster, so let me know what you think!
