We Were in a Book! We need your help to win a contest!

About a year ago there was an open call going around asking for people to submit their costume and cosplay photos. We decided to take a chance and submit a few things and one of our costumes ended up in the book! The book is called 1000 Incredible Costume and Cosplay Ideas. It was put together by Joey Marsocci aka Dr. Grymm, Allison DeBlasio, and the Queen of Cosplay Yaya Han. If you're interested in seeing some really beautiful costumes or if you're into cosplay you should really check the book out!

 Here it is! The costume was in the section of original characters! My sister was so excited to see herself.

Here's the original picture.

Halloween Costumes 2013: Pokemon!

Happy Halloween! This year we decided to nerd out hard and do Pokemon! Ai and her boyfriend were the iconic Pikachu and Ash! I was Bulbasaur because he's a classic and I love his colors! The costumes were so much fun to make and wear. We showed them off over the weekend and were so thrilled by how excited everyone was over them! We did the big Halloween bar crawl thing that our city does every year and heard screams of PIKACHUUUUUUU and POKEMONNNNN (and SQUIRTLEEE because some people thought I was him! >_<) everywhere! 

Like always we tried to make the costumes different from everyone else's. Ai I had the brilliant idea for me to make animal hoods! I used this pattern but I blew it up to make the hoods extra big. If you do use that pattern and tutorial be forewarned that the hood does come out about the size of just your head. I had to buy more fabric because I wasted some making the hood as it was. Anyway, I made mine and Ai's whole outfit, except for the leg furries and my shirt. Ai did Ash's hat and I made the shirt. I forgot to make Ash's gloves, but if we do end up wearing these to our local Comic Con in the spring I'll make sure to make some. 

Alright enough of my rambling, it's time for the costumes! 

Pikachu and Bulbasur!!! I love how the costumes turned out! 

I love this pic! They make the cutest Ash and Pikachu couple ever!!! 

Hahahaha we had fun playing around! "Pikachu sucker punch Bulbasuar!!!!!"

Ai is hands down the cutest Pikachu out there!!!

I'm Bulbasaur not Squirtle!!! >_< hahahaa I'm just glad no one thought I was a dinosaur!

Ash chooses you!!!! 

A wild Pikachu appears! 

hahaha we look a little creepy here! I think we were preparing for battle or something! We're obviously not good at modeling! 

Bulbasuar!!!!

Pikachu!!!

That's all for this week folks! I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween tonight!!! Now it's time to start on our Christmas crafts! Happy crafting!!!  ♥  

Adventure Time Costume Re-do

This week's post is another costume re-do. I finally took better pictures of the Jake costume. Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to fixing the Finn costume. When I do, I'll be sure to post yet another update on them. We might even do a whole Adventure Time group!

I've been obsessed with doing action shots!

I made the hands like this so she could have free use of her hand.

That's all for this week! Halloween is getting closer and I'm almost finished with all of this year's costumes. Happy crafting! ♥  

Ninja Halloween Costume Re-do

I'm so excited it's finally October because it means it's the start of the holiday season! To countdown to this year's Halloween costumes, I'm re-blogging the past costumes. But this time around we finally did proper photo shoots for all of them! 

We're kicking things off with the ninja costume! 

The ninja is all geared up and ready for her mission! 

The weapons were all made out of cardboard, electrical tape, lots of hot glue, and acrylic paint.

Took some action shots and they came out pretty good! 

My sister really is a ninja! 

That's all for this week folks! Can't wait to reveal this year's costumes! Hope you all are working hard on making some fantastic costumes! Happy crafting! ♥  

Halloween Costumes Part 2: Adventure Time

So it's another quick post this week. We haven't had time to get some new stuff up. So we're showing off more Halloween costumes. This time it's my sisters' costumes. They were Finn and Jake from Adventure Time! 



It's Adventure Time!!! The only thing I did for the Finn costume was make the hat and the sword. If I get the time later I think I'll make and share the pattern for the Finn hat.

This Jake costume was one giant onesie like the ones that little babies wear. I had to make my own pattern for this and let's just say it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever made. But the end results was definitely worth it.

Sorry it isn't much of a post this week. As we've been promising we'll have fun holiday stuff up soon! ♥ 

Halloween Costumes 2011: Hello Kitty!

So I know that this is a few days late but here are our Halloween costumes from this year! 

You finally get to see what we look like! We were Hello Kitty and her twin sister Mimmy! We made all the accessories for this costume (the furry boot covers, gloves, headbands and glasses). Everything else was either stuff we had or bought. 

We bought some plain thick black headbands from Wal-Mart and I attached furry white ears to them. I made the ears from some really plush white fabric and stuffed them with poly fill. Then I made giant bows out of red and yellow plush fabric and also stuffed them with poly fill. 

This is the front side of our gloves. They're made from the same material as the bows and ears. They are finger less because gloves with fingers are really hard to make.

Here's the back of the gloves. 

Here's one furry boot cover. 

These were a really lucky find! We found these randomly while walking around ROSS! They're super cute, comfy, and something we can use again and again. 

And these were the glasses we made and showed you two week's ago here. 

Here have one more random photo of us. (I cut the other people out to protect their identities!) 

So that's all for now folks! We hope that everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! Next week I'll post my sisters' costumes! They were Finn and Jake from Adventure Time. We're looking forward to next year since we already have an idea for our costumes! ♥  

Hello Kitty Glasses

So Ai and I have been working on our Halloween costumes, which aren't quite done yet. We just wanted to give you all a little teaser of what we've been up to. Can you guess what we're going to be?! These are some Hello Kitty glasses we made. They're actually just the frames because we couldn't find clear lens glasses and it's dumb to wear sunglasses at night! The bow and whiskers are made with polymer clay and attached with E-6000 glue. (Which is the best glue in the world! It's taken A LOT of trial and error to find glue that works really well. The only downside is that it smells awful and is a little hard to use.) Anyways on to more pictures! 

That's all we'll be revealing for now. We certainly don't want anyone else copying our costume so you'll just have to wait until Halloween to see the whole outfit! Oh before I sign off here have a random spider magnet I made:

A spider magnet for Halloween! As usual you can find our magnet instructions here.

I can't wait to see what everyone has in store for Halloween! Happy costume hunting/crafting folks! ♥
