“So how much hot glue do I need for these costumes?“

This guy: “yes”

🦖I think I’d look cute in that

@JasonSimpson1966 6 years ago

The one other thing the bat T-Rex needs is a utility belt.

@PartyPoison3371 6 years ago

According to the writer, those plastic tubes on the costumes were for “incontinence due to fear.”

Actually something I have been meaning to share, and related to creepy costumes. Surgical gloves work great as a base to do really creepy hands. Just put one on and use liquid latex and fiber. Cotton is pretty common and it gives a burnt flesh kind of texture but tissue(read Kleenex) works really well and gives a wrinkly skin texture. You can pain if you like but I have used food color to color the latex and that can give you a really good translucent "real" look. Some tinted with a bit of blue lets you create veins. Cover that with some "skin tone" ish latex and you can get some really "old" hands. Crepe hair will also stick really well in the latex when it's wet. A hair drier will speed up the cure a LOT. Usually there is enough stretch that you can take the clove off but worst case you can slice it up the wrist till you can get it off. I almost never have had to cut it to get it off. It's reusable for a couple of years, then the latex starts to get dried out.

This also works really well for building up "flesh" on skeletons, though then I start with coton to build up "muscles" etc. and then use tissue as a final "skin" layer (or not...).

Pleeeaaase consider doing a plague doctor mask. Thats what I’m going as and I think it’ll be really cool and pretty simple

@glittermytimbers 6 years ago (edited)

Great ideas! As an experienced sewist, the fabric store has great iron-on methods for no sew making!

@iamsushi1056 5 years ago

I have two challenges for you (maybe three):
A) do something with superglue and: baking soda, cinnamon, graphite powders, metal powders, etc. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XYPnHODt1E and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIpa80_XGyg for reference)
B) Make a portal gun. If you wanted, you could also make the boots or even recreate Chell's full outfit.
C) (or B part 2) Make a full-scale companion cube

@zeekjones1 6 years ago

To dirty it up, I'd make some 'mud' to dip the edges in; water, tea, crushed coals and ash from a fire, maybe some saw dust from the shop.
Can use pretty much anything, but the water helps it really soak in, especially after ratting up the edges like you did.

I love those T-rex costumes!

I think one of the best instances I saw of them (the T-rex suit) was a trio of them running around with pizza boxes and the TMNT eye masks. They even had the knee/elbow pads, sheaths for their weapons, and one of them even had a sign saying they were looking for Mikey and that he was "lost" It was fantastic XD

@neophytealpha 4 years ago

Marty Mcfly is a really easy outfit to pull off. Many have most of the outfit in their closet.

@eingames9931 6 years ago

"Sewing is not my favorite thing." No crap with using hot glue on the nazgul outfit.

@sudonickx 6 years ago

great ideas. Hot glue seams are definitely interesting. Also: The bat-rex climbing scene killed me!

@TheCrafsMan 6 years ago

Mannn! Great video, as always! :D And it was SUPER neat seeing a Steady Craftin' mug! ;)

every year at comic-con sandiego I always look for "mcthor" and his crew, they recreate superheros like the avengers in the style of fast food mascots and its always a hoot
