How-To: Make a BoogieBot Robot Costume

On CRAFT, Brookelynn writes: “I know a little girl who has wanted to be a robot for as long as she can remember- a dancing robot, to be precise. The best thing about being a kid is letting your imagination run wild. The best thing about being a grown-up is being able to make a child’s dreams come to life. Introducing the BoogieBot 5000, the best robot Halloween costume ever.”

I was asked by Fox & Friends to come on their show and do a segment about last minute DIY Halloween costumes on Sunday. It was a CRAFT-centric day as our own Haley modeled a vintage stewardess/Pan Am costume, and our own Eggs and Bacon costume took center stage on Gracie and my friend Dejon. It was a really fun day! If you weren’t up at the crack-of-Dawn, here is a clip!

Posables Perfect for Spookifying the Front Yard

Tony Regalbuto’s father has a penchant for decorating the family’s front yard with whimsical, sometimes frightening, humanoid decorations. Many of the characters are based around Posables, a system of configurable mannequins demonstrated at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. These seem to be the perfect template for creating scary (animatronic?) ghouls, monsters, and goblins for this Halloween season.
