My Halloween theme this year was Bride of Frankenstein. I’ve been working on this theme all year, so it was great to see it finally come to life. Many of my props I’ve been posting over the past week, but there were plenty of decorations as well like the Mad Scientist Lab Combo and the Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein wall decals.
My costume I made following the Little Miss Monstrous Costume pin on Pinterest and I also tried another pin to erase my eyebrows. I’m not great at makeup, but overall I think my makeup came out pretty decent. Also, my friend did the eyebrows because I knew I would mess those up.
For the costume, I followed the directions for the drape and arm wraps. The wig, I crocheted. I also made some gloves to cover my hands as well. If I were to do it all over again, I would not have used ace bandages for the arms wraps. They were not comfortable and kept slipping all day. I think I’d probably just make wraps from rags. Perhaps using a cheap bed sheet? But I do love the final costume. This pin has also been re-pined from my board probably at least a hundred times by now. I hope there were a lot of Brides of Frankenstein out there this year. And yes, this costume is much better and more authentic than the one I saw at Target.
So, my cubicle won 1st place at work and my costume won 3rd place. I’m very happy with my results. And I have at least two more Halloween ideas in my head to keep me going for the next couple of years, although it would be pretty difficult (and expensive) to top this one.
