Hello ladies and gents
Today I bring you another post, this time it's about one of my favorite holidays...
Halloween!
I had a BLAST this Halloween--me and my brother created a whole Halloween themed party for the family.
It has got to be one of my favorite Halloweens, since ever!
So, allow me to show you all the awesome stuff I got for Halloween:
 |
| Seen this little guy on sale and had to own him! |
 |
Here is a photo of everything I pretty much got.
I got a little bit of everything from various shops and stores.
So, I have a little bit from Walmart, Thrift shops, 99 cent/dollar trees and Amazon/ebay! |
 |
| Got two different bags of Spider webbing, the green was supposed to glow-in-the-dark but...it didn't. lol |
 |
| Here are a bunch of stuff-a lighted up Anonymous mask, a plastic skull, googly eyes, glow-in-the-dark necklaces, eyelashes, lipsticks. All sorts of necessities for me and my life. |
 |
Liquid Latex was ideal for Halloween and Zombie Walk.
So glad to find a really cheap bottle at Wally Mart! |
 |
| More close-ups! |
 |
I instantly fell in love with that golden Plague Doctor mask.
So I got one in gold and another in black, for my dad. |
 |
I also got me a plastic "lace" mask.
lots of grabs for future looks and stuff, that is for sure! lol |
Now, I will show you what I got for Zombie Walk and projects I had to make by hand.
Just a few items--nothing crazy~ lol
 |
Pretty much making stuff from scratch.
So I got fabric for our costumes, yarn for arteries, all sorts of crafting things and such and such. |
 |
| Another shot of the items. |
 |
I love this Heavy Starch. It helps to aid in keeping my shirts crisp and clean.
It also makes for anti-gravity costumes.
Sadly, I didn't get to starch my costume otherwise I would have had the front a bit more "open" and "out" if I did. lol |
 |
Got a lot of stuff, for crafting purposes.
All of which came really handy!
I freakin love the dollar store. lmfao |
Now, we shall go into a small preparation.
I didn't take LOADS of photos but what I have I would love to share with the likes of you all.
 |
Here is a sample of my sketch I based my paper mache project on.
I tend to make little doodles like this all the time. lol |
 |
I made a little oogie figure with paper mache.
For my cupcake tier! |
 |
| My brother made some fall-inspired incense cones. |
 |
| My paper mache Audrey II beginning! |
 |
| More sketches. |
 |
| I also made the boogie boys as masks! :) |
 |
| Putting a white-base over my things. :P |
 |
| Some detailing and smoothing. |
 |
| My brother made a HUGE popcorn box! |
 |
| I decided to make some jars, too. |
 |
| Lids, all made out of salsa jars. |
 |
| Masks getting their white-base. |
 |
| Now, i'm adding some paint to my dry pieces. |
 |
| Frog Breath Jar, you can put a glow-stick inside and have the inner mouth glow. Like I did. |
 |
| Another shot. |
 |
| Oogie~ |
 |
| Audrey II all painted and ready for details. |
 |
Me and my brother decided to make a few little extras.
Like these skeleton fairies. |
 |
| That popcorn box looking spiffy! |
 |
| Decided to take a coffee break...but it looks like Audrey is having some with me. lol |
 |
| Went ahead and made some extras for our Zombie Walk costume. |
 |
| This is what a painters palatte looks like after she's done using it. lmfao |
 |
| Audrey looking absolutely cute. |
Anyways, enough with that prep work.
Allow me to show the party in it's full glory.
*At the end of this dreadfully long post, if you'd like to see each item I handmade in better detail..
I will include alone-shots of them!
 |
Got a bunch of these cute LED Flashing Necklaces.
Perfect for our party! :3 |
 |
I found these yummy snacks at the local supermarket.
I thought they were perfect for our party.
I have tried Cheetoes before, but wanted them again because of the cute bones.
And the Voodoo chips were something I was curious about because I never had 'em but loved the name and the fact they are New Orleans Kettle Style.
I was pleasantly surprised with the taste--something similar to Salt & Vinegar with a tad more spice. Loved 'em! |
 |
| I got a tray of "finger food" lmfao |
 |
This is my Oogie Boogie Cupcake Stand.
Devil's food cupcakes with cream cheese icing (also icing was inserted INSIDE each cupcake--The tops are complete with cookie crumb and gummy worm.
For Oogie, of course! |
 |
Made some Mayor party hats for the family.
We were also celebrating my brother's birthday, early.
His birthday is Nov. 17th but he wanted to have a Halloween themed birthday this year--so we did things a little earlier. lol
I got him a few presents that I hid under the table--a book on Samhain I got via amazon, a fog machine, some awesome scary PJ bottoms, perfume, lipsticks and some thrift store finds like an incense holder and a soapstone burner.
*forgot to take pix of his presents but i'll update with the presents soon. I plan to do a review on the new book, anyways! |
 |
| More picture shots of the table spread. |
 |
| The sign I painted for the whole display! |
 |
| Of course you need a "refreshment" sign, as well. lol |
 |
| The jars with the "deadly nightshade" which are just ripped up black plastic roses. lol |
 |
| The "movies" we watched that night. |
 |
| The popcorn box! EEk! |
 |
| The big movie candies. |
 |
| The paper plates and napkins for our halloween pizza. |
 |
| the whole set-up! |
 |
| Small details but they make all the difference. |
 |
