Halloween Haunt - Pumpkin King creeper

This is a creeper that we made yesterday in about an hour (designing it and placement of leaves with safety pins). We still have to sew down the leaves. It's pretty cool and really scary in the dark. I'll edit this post and pic in a few days, okay?

Gothic Lolita Mini Top Hat

I made this top hat for my costume crafts class in the spring semester. Mini top hats like these are very popular in the Japanese fashion style called Gothic Lolita. Originally, it was supposed to be a black hat with a white ribbon but I fell in love with this fabric and felt that white wouldn't complement it as much as the Hello Kitty pink does.

It's a buckram top hat covered with a diamond-embroidered, navy polyester fabric and a sheer Hello Kitty pink ribbon with white polka dots. To get the ribbon to be solid on the band, I laid a white satin ribbon under it. I am very pleased how it turned out. It's really cute!

These pictures make me realize how much I need a new Styrofoam head. :(
