Halloween Look: Fantasy Alien

Image
Hi everyone! This is my last Halloween Tutorial of 2017. I hope you enjoyed at least one of the six looks I have done this October. Today's look is inspired by Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Stencil, Alien Fantasy Fairy. I don't know how fairy the look turned out to be, but I can confidently say, I do look Alien. I hope you like the look!  If you want to watch the full video tutorial on how I created this look, just click on the link provided.

Halloween Look: Unicorn

Image
Hi everyone! This is my 5th Halloween Tutorial. Just one more look after this! Anyways, this look is a Unicorn look. It is inspired by Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Stencil, Unicorn Queen, but I ended up creating a look that looked like this Unicorn is part of the royal court instead. Anyways, besides my short comings, I still hope you enjoy this Halloween Look!  If you want to watch the full video tutorial on how I created this look, just click on the link provided.

Halloween Look: Mystic Mermaid

Image
Hello! Here is my 4th Halloween Tutorial and this time, it is a look that I've been wanting to do a version of for the longest time, a mermaid look! This Mermaid look is inspired by Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Stencil, Mystic Mermaid. My sketch for the mermaid was a bit different than the one I created, but for my first mermaid look, I am pleased with the outcome, and I believe it lives up to the magical and mysterious name of "Mystic Mermaid". Backstory of the Character: There is no real backstory to this character, since I basically just freestyled everything. I still hope you enjoy what I came out with.  If you want to watch the full video tutorial on how I created this look, just click on the link provided.

Halloween Tutorial: Zombie

Image
Hello! Here is my 3rd Halloween Tutorial! I am on the roll with these Halloween Tutorials! I hope I can keep up the momentum! Haha! Anyways, this Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Theme is Catwalk Zombie, and just like the Skull Queen look, this is my very first Zombie look. Even without the prosthetics, fake blood, and other fancy products to create a gnarly zombie look, I still think this look came out quite nice. What do you think? Backstory of the Character: She is a model turned zombie, hence the theme "Catwalk" Zombie. She got bite in the neck, but the bite did not kill her right away. Instead, she died a pretty painful death as her body surrenders to the infection, and she eventually dies and wakes as a zombie.   If you want to watch the full video tutorial on how I created this look, just click on the link provided.

Halloween Look: Skull Queen

Image
Hello! Here is my 2nd Halloween Tutorial! The Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Theme is Skull Queen, and since this is my first time trying out a skull look, I thought I'd make it easy on myself and do half of my face. Here is my version of a Skull Queen. She is a leader of some badass gang, and her signature look is piercing eyes and a skull handkerchief hiding half of her face.

Halloween Look: Quirky Jester

Image
Hello! It's the first Halloween Tutorial! Yes, I know a clown or "Jester" look has been overdone, but hey, I haven't done one yet, and I know this will not be the last Jester look I'm going to do. For this Jester look, I wanted a fun, lovable Jester. One that wants to have fun, play little tricks, and giggle all day long.  So I hope you enjoy the look!

Tag: Halloween Tag 2015!

Image
I have thought about doing the Halloween Tag for about a year now, so I thought this year is a great year to finally sit down and answer some Halloween questions. I also like how these sort of videos allow me to share more about myself. 

Halloween Party (DIY) Party Favors

Image
A great party is when everyone leaves happy and what better way to ensure your guests' happiness when they walk out the front door with a little treat in their hands! Today I will be sharing with you on how to make these amazing party favors for both kids and adults!

Halloween Party (DIY) Photo Props

Image
So what do people usually do at parties, especially Halloween Parties? Take pictures right? We all want to take shots of those memories for reminiscing later on and we all know that Halloween pictures are the best, but we also know that without fail each year, there will be those that come without a costume on.  So today I will be sharing with you on how I created these cool Photo Props, made especially with these costume-less guests in mind. It's easy, extremely affordable, and the memories will be priceless!

Halloween Party (DIY) Candy Corn Candle

Image
You can't throw a Halloween Party without light, how else will see each other's costumes.  Today I am here to share with you on how I made this Candy Corn Candle. It's cute and chic, it definitely captures the Halloween Spirit, and it will light up a room with an eerie glow. However, you may need more than one candle to get enough light to see comfortably. 

Haunted Family Portrait

Image
This is probably the most spooky of the two frames that I made. I love the effect the holographic picture made with the bloody, full of guts mesh curtain. My ideal spot to hang this frame is over an altar of candles (preferably battery operated candles), away from the wall so that the frame can twirl slowly in circles, with more candles on each side (these candles will be attached to the wall). This way the light from the candles will cast enough light, as well as, shadow on the frame so that the on-looker will be able to see the shape-shifting images the picture provides. (Watch the video, to see what I mean by shape-shifting.) The guts are actually made out of hot glue and paint, but the effect is amazing! It really looks like guts, since the glue has a bit of shine to it, so the "guts" actually look quite juicy.

Spider Nest Frame

Image
For some reason, spiders terrify me, but at the same time they fascinate me and I find them creepily beautiful (not that I would ever touch a spider voluntarily). However, they are one of my favorite Halloween Creepy Decorations. If I want cute, I will stick to Candy Corn & Pumpkins. I really like how this frame turned out, especially the hot glue spider web. I also really like how this photo (on left) turned out too. With the poor lighting, and sharpened and tweaked the colors a bit with iPhoto  the picture came out spookily perfect! I think it would be so fun to make a few more of these, and decorate the house with other spider related decor. In the near future, I will definitely do a Spider Theme Halloween. Right now, this Halloween is more of a Haunted House theme and a bit of randomness added to it. Next October I will keep all my Halloween Videos in a more cohesive theme, so that I can have a masterpiece at the end to share with you guys! ...

Hanging Skeletal Frame

Image
The vision I had in my head when creating this was the scene from the movie, "The Mummy Returns" (love these kinds of movies) where our heroes finds the oasis where the Scorpion King lies, and they are being chased by the natives that live there, who are these shriveled up little skeleton creatures. They look really creepy and they make these soft screechy sounds, and they are super fast! So imagine the terror of being chased by 50 of these little things. I wanted this frame to have that same chilling effect. As if the creator was a crazy voodoo practitioner that has gone over the edge of no returns, and these poor hanging skeletons are her victims where she likes to frame them up on display. 

Halloween DIY Treat: Corny Witch's Hat

Image
I knew that I needed to do something with candy corn, because for me, Halloween is not Halloween without eating at least a bag of candy corn. I know that it is just sugar, but it is so delicious!  As we all know, the packaging to Candy Corn is not very exciting. So I thought why not spruce up the container for the candy to make it more exciting in eating them!  So I came up with using another well-known Halloween element, "A Witch's Hat". 

Halloween Look: Mrs Scarecrow

Image
I have always like the brainless scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz when I first watched the movie when I was a child, so today I am going to show you my re-creation of my favorite Dorothy Escort to the Emerald City.

Halloween DIY Treats: Ghosts & Bat Pops

Image
October has arrived, and we all know that October is all about Halloween. So for this month I am going to do just that. Every post is going to be Halloween based!  So, to kick off things, I am going to share with you these cute ghost and bat lollipops that you can make for your kids, or family and friends. If you have time, you can even make them for trick or treaters, since these are very inexpensive and easy to make.
