Here is a generic hobbit costume I wore for Halloween this year. It involved one productive trip to the thrift store, an unmodified sheet opf cloth from the fabric store, and a tiny bit of wool roving from the crafts store. I put it together the night before Halloween, and I think it came out real nice. The pipe I borrowed from a friend, and the wool is super glued onto my feet.
For the premier of the Hobbit III: Bilbo's Revenge we are hosting a "dwarf feast" before a midnight showing next week. I decided that I needed a dwarf costume, and narrowed in on Gloin. I bough loads more wool roving and a child's snow cap, and hot-glued small patches of the wool on the head and chin-strap. I just need to add some jewelry, and a bit more bulk to the beard.
The next hardest part are the gloves, which I wanted to get out of the way. I used a cheap pair of hardware store gloves as a frame, and cut out pieces of craft foam to go on top. These will get painted after the obligtory 50 coats of PVA.
I only have a few more days, so hopefully the next few night are as productive as the last two!
(Does anyone know if modpodge or sanding out brush-stokes can quicken the time on PVA sealing? I'd like to avoid adding a bunch of thin coats in favor of a smaller amount of thicker layers.)
