Sam from Trick 'r Treat

[Bigturc]

Nothing new .. I was a big success for my party .. I had to let the movie run in my room for the ppl asking .. "It's cool, but wth is it?" .. and then I'd show it and they'd go .. holy ****, you're so motivated!

Beside that .. didn't have my head on for a long time .. it was obviously very hot in there .. although I could sip drinks through the mouth with straws .. lots of straws!!

Thanks to this thread I've begun work on my own Sam costume. Getting ready to tackle the burlap now - anyone know what size buttons I should use for the eyes? I'm thinking a 1 inch diameter is about right.

My pleasure .. It's exactly the goal when starting a wip thread! Iirc, i've used 1.5" button and it was to my eyes a preety good match!

Thanks for the info about the button bigturc!

So I just finished one half of the burlap on the head - what a nightmare! I've never done anything remotely this crafty, so I'm a neophyte in every respect. Fortunately the front turned out ok, but the back is completely butchered and bunched up. I wound up just cutting off excess burlap and getting glue gun happy, smushing it down and just trying to glue it down to make it as smooth as possible.

yeah .. I've had quite a fun time applying the burlap too!! It's kina hard to explain how I did it but ended up with no excess or waves in it.

[Bigturc]

I think with a repaint, this could be made to look pretty good.
