craftgrrlSo... two questions. Both related to a Halloween costume.
I'm doing Freddy Krueger for someone and I need to know how to put it all together. We've got the hat, and the tell-tale grey and red striped sweater. But what we don't have, I have to make.
1) Claws. Freddy just wouldn't be Freddy without his big scary claws. Basically I'm going to buy some gloves and shove *something* through them to look like claws. BUT, we're going to a dance party and I'm sure the club will be extra-crowded so I don't want anyone to get stabbed. Metal is out. I was thinking some sort of plastic that I could spray-paint a crome color. Does anybody know what a good kind would be to use? Something that would be stiff but not too hard to cut into scary-looking claw shapes?
2) Scary Freddy Face. Freddy also wouldn't be Freddy without his messed-up face.I was thinking liquid latex would be the best way to go about this one. I *was* thikning that, but after making several calls there are NO places where I live that sell red or nude liquid latex. They're all out of stock for Halloween. sooooo... Does anyone have any other ideas for creating that scary burn-effect?
My main problem is... this all has to be done by a party TOMORROW. He just randomly decided to be Freddy Krueger TODAY.
Blah.
Also... I've attached a few pictures of Freddy.
