Halloween Costume Contest 2014

One ANGRY Flower !!

Having collected these smiling stuffed toy flowers for years, my initial costume plan was to be a giant “Happy Flower”.  But then  I thought, “What if not all the flowers were happy?”  Thus sparked the creation of “One Angry Flower”.  

The entire costume was handmade from scrap pieces of fabric found mostly at thrift stores, the head frame started as chicken wire found in my backyard. Stuffing from old pillows. Styrofoam eyes with pipecleaner lashes.  And the jumping stilts I found on eBay. The teeth are hot-glued to bendable coated wire.  The majority of time spent was hand sewing. Creating the additional flowers with the “uh-oh” look on their faces was a must. Since I had no pattern, the whole project was a “trial and error”, then “fix it” basis.  I started in March, and slowly worked out problems along the way.  The added bonus was the great workouts with learning to move around on the stilts.
