How to Train Your Dragon Costume!
Posted on October 31, 2014 at 5:42 PM |
Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon! My 2014 Halloween costume inspiration came from one of the cutest movies by DreamWorks, How to Train Your Dragon. Astrid plays the love interest of the main character, Hiccup, and they are viking dragon slayers! To get into character, I knew the skirt and shoulder pads would be the biggest challenge, but how in the world do you make those spikes and skulls? Luckily, Elizabeth from A Swoop and A Dart provided an amazing Astrid tutorial and I grabbed some tips from there. Crayola Model Magic... the greatest find ever. A quick trip to Joann Fabric for a half yard of vinyl and brown felt and I had the base for the skirt. At Michael's I grabbed the model magic, faux fur, a few sheets of simple foam, some cording, and a couple gray and black acrylic paints. I also used a little bit of velco I had on hand to hold the skirt together. Once I had all my shapes, I let them dry on cookie sheets with plastic wrap. They were super simple to paint as well. Next came the skirt. I started with one long strip of vinyl I measured to my waist. I cut out 9 panels of each of the vinyl and the felt and made two simple long stitches along the whole length of the skirt to attach the panels. Up next was the shoulder armor pads. I painted two sheets of foam gray and then added in some streaks of black to give it more of a metallic or rustic look. Measure out about an inch strip and cut away. Once you have 5-6 strips cut out, I used a simple thread and needed to actually sew the ends together. Super glued on a few spikes to the foam and those were all set. The hardest part was figuring out how to keep the shoulders on my shoulders. :) I sewed on by hand two strips of leftover vinyl, one in front and one in back, so the shoulder pads would just slip right over my head and rest on my shoulders. I had the green tshirt and navy leggings to pair under! But you could grab something similar, very inexpensive. Wrap up your arms in some cording and you're all set. Astrid is complete! Now if I was really crafty I would have made a shield and axe but I needed to use my hands at both work and the after party. :) |
