Harry Potter Cosplay: Professor Sibill Trelawney

 Harry Potter Cosplay: Professor Sibill Trelawney Trelawney is definitely one of the favorite background characters of Harry Potter for sure! My sister in law did the perfect costume!  Wild fluffy hair with head scarfs, big bug eyed glasses, lots of necklaces and busy boho patterns!  The key here was the glasses for sure!  They are super cheap but add the perfect touch! We even had extra to pass out as favors to the kids! She was fun and went around in full divination speech! Phrases like "my boy!" and "the Grim!" were commonplace!   This post published on Doodlecraft first 

Harry Potter Cosplay: Hermoine Granger!

 Harry Potter Cosplay: Hermoine Granger!   Okay, there's a lot of variety with Ms. Granger. If you have bangs--you might go with the young version...bangs and lots of curls.  Or older with more tame hair!  Here's how we did the Gryffindor Robes: I used my favorite Robe pattern Simplicity 5840...and cut a rounded hood instead of a pointy one. Seriously, this pattern is worth it!  You can pick it up from Amazon too! I cut a red lining for the hood only and sewed it up. It takes about 2 hours of sewing to get it all together. See more details on this post Here's the funny backstory: I was majorly into making robes about 8-9 years ago...I made 100's. I bought every single bolt of black or brown material on the $1 a yard rack at Walmart... and they don't even have that rack anymore! I cut out this pattern so many times...until I wore myself out! I sold a bunch of them for $100's each and gave many as gifts. I cut out another batch ...

Harry Potter Cosplay: Moaning Myrtle!

 Harry Potter Cosplay: Moaning Myrtle! (It was brought to my attention that I spelled "Myrtle" wrong...such a muggle!) Everything about this whiny bathroom dwelling ghost is so fun!  A DIY costume is simple and easy! Pigtails and bangs.  If you don't have bangs just loop and bobby pin hair like we did. Round glasses Gray tattered clothes...we thrifted a mans gray button up Gray tie White shirt (or slightly gray)  And face paint! We used this fantastic paint I just used a little water and white paint and brushed it all over her face. Then I used some copper and watered it down and painted the sides of the  cheeks to look sunken skeletal structure almost...and a little on the lips.  Don't forget to pout and whine! Great for a last minute Halloween costume! Get a group together and storm Hogwarts!   This post published on Doodlecraft first
