That is exactly what I need - I just can't afford to spend another $50 or more on this costume :frown:

Good to know for next year though!

Final Pics!

:halo::halo::halo:

Here's some pics of the final product from my work party this morning:

I have some patchwork to do with the hair before going back out tonight, but overall things held up pretty well. For my first homemade puppet/large-scale Halloween costume I'm definitely happy with it!

Let me know your thoughts

Hey there Franklin,

Wicked job on your animal head. I'm gonna take a crack at it myself but was wondering what you used for dimensions? How big did you make it? Are there any measurements you might suggest? I'm not sure where to start. I was gonna try blowing up that template you provided using a projector and creating a stensil of sorts....any thoughts would be fantastic.
