Homemade from actual burlap & stitching. Head was made with a small **CLEAN/NEW** plastic trash bin with mouth & eyes cut out & covered by back felt. The facial features are shaped with foam & are glued onto the (once trash bin, but now) helm. The shoes are covered & glued down with burlap with black marker decorating with “stitching” design.

My father & I made this because I didn’t like anything they were selling online or at any stores. I prefer how we did it better. It took about a week, being a 1-3 hours each night measuring my body, cutting the material, building the facial features, & mending it all together.

Not attempting to impress anyone or have a mindset that it makes me amazing, but it’s a project I’m proud of, & I love designing characters & costumes. I also to work in the theatre as an actor/writer/director, but I also design & do photography/cinematography. If I wasn’t the one in the costume, the picture would be better. If I can find a better picture, I’ll post it.
