    I’m going to show you how I made a giant pumpkin halloween decoration that can also be worn as a fun costume.
    You’ll see how I transformed some yoga mats, fabric scraps, and paint into a realistic-looking pumpkin that is big enough to fit me inside.
    This project was inspired by my love for halloween and pumpkins, and also by the movie Cinderella, where the fairy godmother turns a pumpkin into a carriage. I thought it would be fun to do the opposite and turn myself into a pumpkin.

    I know it was probably frustrating to see it not go as planned. But I genuinely think that all the "flaws" and "mistakes" just make it better! It has a Nightmare Before Christmas aesthetic, and it's soooo fitting!
    Much love and thank you for putting a smile on our face! 😊❤

    • @Amaranthyne
      @Amaranthyne Před 7 měsíci +3

      I totally agree! It just made it look creepier and scarier! Totally on point 😤

    • @uzlezzz
      @uzlezzz Před 7 měsíci +2

      100% agree. Pumpkins are so often creepily misshapen and lumpy, its all part of the aesthetic ant it looks perfect for what it is! Loved the reveal and the versatility, you did great.

    Thank you on so many levels for showing that this is also part of costume making.
    I am a professional costume and propmaker for shows and theatre and people usually see my work in the shining, glittering show light, well staged or nicely shot.
    They don’t see us makers sitting on the floor in a shabby, ill ventilated basement, covered in hot glue, latex and duct tape, with scratches on the hands and marks on the face from the respirator mask, after the tenth energy drink and some leftover junk food, ugly sobbing and crying and questioning our life choices while the deadline is laughing in our face and you just feel more stupid every second because you’re usually good at this.
    I love your channel so much! You are an awesome maker and I am grateful, that you share it with us.

  • @ima.ekenes

    I can’t believe how "versatile" this is!! 😂 As a skirt, walking pumpkin head, hiding spot or just decoration… impressive!!

  • @bast713
    @bast713 Před 7 měsíci +91

    You are a mad crafting genius, and to me this video just proves it. The pumpkin looks so cool and creepy! Even with a lot of setbacks, you pulled something "cursed" into a really cool finished project. The details are just fantastic. I really appreciate when creators show what goes wrong and how they problem solve it. I'm sorry this was so stressful for you, but it does look really cool.

  • @voxangelaemortis
    @voxangelaemortis Před 7 měsíci +34

    By the end, I just wanted to give you a warm hug. The pumpkin ultimately came out looking wonderful.

  • @katiewaterrose
    @katiewaterrose Před 7 měsíci +66

    I can't even imagine how exhausted you must have been at the end of this but I believe our cursed little pumpkin turned out fantastic! Think of the trick or treaters you could terrify by sitting inside that thing by the candy bowl!! 😂

  • @lynnkale8494
    @lynnkale8494 Před 7 měsíci +45

    As frustrating as it is when things don't go as planned, I think it's awesome that you posted this to show all the frustration and setbacks. It's easy a a creator to watch all the successes on social media and think you're the only one who fails.
    Thanks for being real!

  • @kirstenpaff8946
    @kirstenpaff8946 Před 7 měsíci +42

    Sorry to hear you had such a hard time with this project. Luckily Halloween is the one time of year, when looking cursed is actually a good thing.

  • @laurinfritz442
    @laurinfritz442 Před 7 měsíci +14

    I love it as a skirt. Looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie.

  • @kirstenpaff8946
    @kirstenpaff8946 Před 7 měsíci +11

    I doubt you get trick-or-treaters at your house, but this would be such a great Halloween prank. Just sit outside, looking like a giant pumpkin decoration until some kids turn up. Then you can pop up and scare the crap out of them.

  • @catherinejustcatherine1778
    @catherinejustcatherine1778 Před 7 měsíci +14

    I absolutely concede that this is a "nightmare project" for a perfectionist. The setbacks and glitches were daunting and your feelings are valid.
    As a person who creates on a smaller scale and more infrequently, watching your struggles, and learning from your mistakes is immensely helpful. I am impressed with the state of "artistic wholeness" that you wrastled the stubborn pumpkin into!🎃 I agree with others that the rough irregularities added to the spooky holiday vibes. Honestly, from the outside, and, subjectively, I believe it looks like a success.
    I hope your next project is more satisfying for you. (I am sure that your viewers and patrons will live it either way!)

  • @salemgraves1692

  • @laurahi3468
    @laurahi3468 Před 7 měsíci +8

    I know it's hard to believe when you had something else in your head, but I genuinely think it looks amazing!!! It is not a shiny new pumpkin from the store but a spooky one that has been sitting on the porch for a week already - perfect for Halloween 🎉

  • @melissashiels7838
    @melissashiels7838 Před 7 měsíci +3

    @Scereyaha Před 7 měsíci +9

    I think sewing with fishing line would have been my go to for a shape like this. It might be less prone to snapping than thread, but I am sure floss or small cord could work too, especially if you sew out the side of the edge to keep the stitches off the front face.

  • @GM-qq1wi

    @annbrookens945 Před 7 měsíci +2

    It was NOT an unmitigated disaster! You mitigated it fiercely!
    SUCH a journey to completion. One always thinks, "I can fix it by doing *this*" Then *this* doesn't work and you still think its fixable...
    I liked the pumpkin blouse with it; it ended up looking pretty cool!

    A for Efford. Why didn't you think about making a wire structure that functions as a skeleton to help with the shape?
    But the end result is it's a scary pumpkin, so mission accomplished.

  • @cherylhuot4436
    @cherylhuot4436 Před 7 měsíci +4

    That is a fabulous pumpkin!! Fun and Spooky at the same time. I think my favorite is when you wear it covering your head and body with just the legs showing!! LOL it really didn’t need the hat.
    I understand this was a lot of work and frustration for you, but the end result was great!! I appreciate seeing other people’s struggles. It lets me feel I’m not alone when I make my own, many mistakes. Thank you for including the Good and the “Oops! That didn’t go as planned!” Moments! I love seeing your, always creative, fixes and saves!

  • @robintheparttimesewer6798

    Thank you for showing the real struggle of perseverance and coming up with solutions to get a project done. It's too easy to see all the pretty crafts on CZcams and the like and get inspired, but when you start you feel like yours is trash and it's just not going right. It's nice to see one of my favorite artists show the real struggles as well as the masterpieces.

    Maybe you can give it more structure later on by using some wires?
    But I can't think of any glue that works best for yoga mats either :( (don't know if something like wood glue, super glue, fabric glue would do the job)
    But the result looks nonetheless very good! And very creepy.
