First Halloween Costume Update! 🎃

Whoo! Already making a little progress. I wanted to begin this project by working on some smaller parts so I don't get too overwhelmed, so today I began the foam bases for the Pauldrons and Bat mask. I could have patterned these myself with a lot of heartache, but to save time I bought some foam patterns from some lovely folks on Etsy! 🍂

For the Pumpkin Pauldrons I bought this pattern by mellowMindCosplay on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1307918262/diy-pumpkin-templates-for-eva-foam

And for the Cat/Bat mask I bought this pattern by letsmakegeekstuff: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1335862714/digital-pattern-and-tutorial-video

If you wanna make something similar I definitely recommend both of these patterns. Super easy to use and already making this build a lot easier ✨

I'm thrilled with the mask but I'm not the biggest fan of the Pauldron size 😅 I think they may be a little too big, but they're also pretty big in my design. I'm not sure if I wanna scale them down so I'll probably put it up to you guys for a vote! These still have plenty more work to be done on them. The Pauldrons need some jack O' Lantern faces, straps, and a stem/leaves, and the mask needs a mouth sculpt with some teeth. More to come 🎃
