Working on my Despicable Purple Minion in the Bakery Costume for Dragon*Con. I cut the brim off the hard plastic NY Yankees batters cap (yay thrift store!) and drilled holes for airflow. Over this will fit the purple wig and the goggles/eyes. That way I don't have to worry about wig & goggles & the cupcake fascinator - it will all be a single hat I can put on.
Took apart the cheapo water-blaster, sanded all the parts for painting. (Found out that as an actual water-pistol it would have been a fail - it was damaged inside!) But add the faux jelly-jar and LED lights and the cupcakes... oh yeah!
We have Great Stuff and Silicone and giant plastic cupcake muffin-papers... I suspect I really need to take up Quinn's idea and have a Cupcake Bandolier.
The question is: Sew up the frou-frou apron, or buy one from someone on Etsy who loves to sew up frou-frou aprons? By the time I hunt and find the right fabric, and sew it, and frustrate over it, I'm sure the price would be the same. And I saw one I think I love... I really do love to make my own costumes, but buying a piece pre-made from another artist can't be so bad, can it?
Besides I can always wear it when I'm making WAFFLES!!!! (Last night I made potato-pancake waffles! OMG sour creme & applesauce, where are you?!?)
