Benurmanii wrote:Did you make this yourself?Well, I purchased the big head part online, but I had to alter it and embellish it a lot. It looked kinda pointed on top so I had to fold it over and hand stitch it down into more of a dome shape and then stuff it with plastic grocery bags. It came with a felt fabric "pot" that just looked like a brown skirt when I put it on, so I took an old nursery tree pot I had lying around and spray painted it to try to make it look terra cotta color. It's held in place around my waist with a cheap pair of suspenders from Walmart.

Her best friend recently told her she's been scared of faceless costumes ever since an experience she had as a little girl... Mwa-ha-ha-ha! You can guess who my traps will be going after all evening!
