TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. I’VE NEVER ENTERED A COSTUME CONTEST BEORE, BUT I’VE BEEN MAKING THEM FOR YEARS FOR MY KIDS & ME. I LOVE TO CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF USED CLOTHING ITEMS. I RAISE SIX CHILDERN.!! IMAGINE HOW MANY COSTUMES I’VE MADE OVER THE YEARS, LOTS! LOTS OF FUN CONSTUMES.
WELL GETTING BACK TO MY LITTLE RED RIDINGHOOD COSTUME GONE BAD. COSTUME’S NAME IS LITTLE RED MISSCHIEVOUS. SHE GETS TO BREAK OUT OF HER SHELL & RUNS A MUCK.

I ORIGINALLY STARTED MAKING THE COSTUME FOR THE NIGHTMARE HALLOWEEN BALL. IT WAS BEING HELD AT THE QUINAULT RESORT & CASINO. I WANTED TO MAKE A UNIQUE COSTUME FOR MY FIRST, HALLOWEEN BALL PLUS THEY HAD A COSTUME CONTEST TOO.

BY THE TIME I SAW THIS CONTEST,!! I WAS ALMOST DONE SEWING THE COSTUME. I DID TAKE A FEWS PICS TROUGH-OUT MAKING LITTLE RED COSTUME.

FIRST, I STARTED WITH RED ZIP-UP HOODY. I MADE A PAPER PATTERN OF HORNS FOR HEAD & SHOULDERS. I ADDED A LINER TO MIDDLE OF HORNS. THEN CUT HOLES ON TOP OF HOOD & SLEEVES, TUCKED IN HOLES, THEN STITCHED TOGETHER.

NEXT, I MADE A PAPER CUT OUT OF FLAMES FOR SKIRT & CUFFS. I LAID OUT FLAMES ON BLACK & RED VAMPIER CAPE. SAVED HIMED BOTTOM FOR SHIRT. PIN DOWN SKIRT FLAMES TO BOTTOM OF RED HOODY & SEWED TOGETHER TO MAKE DRESS.

NEXT, I ATTACHED A FLAME CUFF TO SLEEVE & ADDING SOME TOOL FOR SPARKLE. CUFF IS 12 INCHES LONG I THEN FLIPPED IT UPSIDEDOWN FOLDED IN HALF, THEN REVERSE FLAMES ON SLEEVE.

NEXT CAME THE TAIL, I USED A METEL HANGER CARDBOARD & BATTING. AT ONE END I BENT WIRE INTO A OVAL, WRAPED BATTING AROUND ENTIRE HANGER. THEN SECURED CARDBOARD TRIANGLE AT END OF TAIL. THEN I ADDED STRAPS ON BOTH SIDES OF OVAL TO SECURE TAIL TO BUTT/BACK.

NEXT, I MADE WINGS. I ATTACHED TWO LOOPS ON BACK OF DRESS, SO WINGS COULD BE ATTACHED OR UNATTACHED. I CUT OUT AN ALUMINUM PAN FOR CENTER OF WINGS, WILL BEND & HOLD.

NEXT I CUT A PLASTIC LID & GLUED OVER ALUMIMUM. I THEN GLUED FEATHERS IN ROWS, BIG ONES ON BOTTOM ROLL FIRST. THEN PLACED MEADIAM FEATHERS ON NEXT ROW. THEN SMALL FEATHERS ON TOP & RANDOMLY THROUGH-OUT WINGS GLUED 4 RIBBONS TO ATTACH ON BACK DRESS

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I MADE A DEVIL SPEAR. A BAMBOO STICK PAINTED IT BLACK , THEN I ADDED A CARDBOARD CUT OUT OF A SPEAR. WRAPPED WITH BATTING THEN COVER WITH RED MATERIAL & RED TOOL

OPTIONAL: I ADDED EMBRODRY THREAD & RIBBON FOR EXTRA BLING. MADE MY OWN MATCHING SKULL EAR RINGS WITH FEATHERS.

MAKE UP COVERED IN FLAMES.

THIS COSTUME LITTLE RED MISSCHIEVOUS HAD A FAIRY TALE TIME OF HER LIFE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS.

FAIRY TALE TWIST
