Best carnival costumes

Halloween is coming, so here are my favorites for the best carnival costumes ideas.

1. The „invisible man“ costume

The son of a photographer had this great Halloween costume idea.

She’s been stealing everyone’s voices all day

3. Van Gogh Self portrait costume

4. Lego man costume

A Lego man is known to everyone. That’s why this costume is so popular at parties. Especially because you recognize it immediately and does not have to be a geek. The costume has beebn built by a father for his 8 year old son. Here is his rough guide:

3D model of the Lego Man
Use Pepakura Designer to create and print 2D templates
Transferred to EVA foam
Cut out the parts
Mounting with hot glue
Very hot glue
Spray a few layers of plasti dip
A few coats and clear lacquer
Legs connect with belt with cord and carabiner
Arms on the body with elastic bands
Head fastened with chin straps

7. Classic Rocket Costume + Boba Fett = Floating Boba Fett

Linkfilter member Reapre has looked at the classic rocket costume and then just made a floating Boba Fett out of it. The column of flame below hid his legs. Reapre was wearing platform shoes so he could get a couple of inches higher. Here is the English language documentation.

8. LED Emoji mask

The „Mask of Emotions“ shows emoticons instead of your face. This helmet was created by the Digital Media Design Dept at Hongik University in Korea. The emoticon is controlled by the body actions of the wearer. Here is a little insight into the construction method. As you can see, you can not see through these holes. Well, who wants to be beautiful …

9. Flying Jeannie

10. Head in the Box costume

Because the illusion with the wrong legs is so beautiful there is here again the Version with the severed head. After all, is Halloween and not a childbirth day.

11. Toy Soldier’s halloween costume

Great also the idea to dress up as tin or miniature figure. The strong color is particularly noticeable. The perfect costume for posing for photos. A great „living statues“ idea.

12. The jellyfish

A costume that you can tinker even on the last pusher, provided you have a thick umbrella.

13. Banksy Street Art Costume

We already had a work of art as a costume, here comes the next. One of the most famous motifs of the Streetart artist Banskys.

14. Robot couple

„Steve Machine“

Ok, ok, this is my costume for this year. And not just for Halloween or carnival, because „Steve Machine“ you can book for your event.

18. Hulk Hogan (Last Minute Costume)

19. Black and white characters

This is pantomime pop culture, so you get a classic costume with the theme black and white. Works best as a group costume. Comes well on retro and 20 year anniversary parties.
