Silvan Elf: The Wreath and Dress Base

The wreath.

I made the crown/wreath! I used fake foliage and flowers from Michaels, but you can basically find this kind of thing in any large craft store. I actually found a ready-made circle of fake leaves, so I just tied or weaved the other flowers into it using their stems, which sometimes had wire in it, or in the case of the flowers, I pulled them off the stems and tied them on using the leaves, which I also pulled off the stem.

Also, if you want to use real flowers, that's wonderful, if not better! I was just lazy.

The shirt of the pajamas. (Excuse the
bad photo, I didn't have a camera
so I used my computer webcam. :P)

I also got a velvet pajama set for the dress that needs a lot of work because it has pants that need to be turned into a skirt as well as it being two separate pieces instead of just one, but I liked the fabric and it was cheap. I might continue looking to see if there's anything better, but I think it'll
do.

Other details I got/have include ribbon for the sash and a pin that I may or may not be using in the costume.

That's all for now!

2016's Costume: Tolkien Elf

Hello!

I was going to be Junko Enoshima from Danganronpa, but then I decided that I'd rather be an Elf, because I recently (this year) got really into the Lord of the Rings movies, and now I'm reading the books, and part of me has always wanted elf ears.

So now I'm going to be an Elf!
A Silvan Elf, to be exact, from Mirkwood. No specific character, which is new for this blog! Yay! Milestone!

Obviously I don't have any pictures yet to show what I'm going for, but hopefully I'll have some sketches nearer to when Halloween is. I'm planning on being thrifty for this costume, so I'll most likely just look around Salvation Army until something strikes my fancy. I do have a nice idea for a crown involving plastic foliage and flowers, though, so that's something.

Anyway, that's my announcement.

Happy Halloween!
