It’s August, which means that Halloween is only 2.5 months away! For many people, planning a Halloween costume isn’t something that can be done overnight or through ordering something fast and easy via Amazon. No, they have to put effort and work into creating something really fun and memorable, something that will stick out in the crowd and prove that their passion is real!
Perhaps one of the most recognizable and beloved horror icons, A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Freddy Krueger is also one of the most seen costumes come October 31st. I’m not saying that as a bad thing. Hell, if you love the guy then I say own it and rock that outfit! But sometimes the outfit feels a bit “chintzy” or you’re not satisfied with just ordering a package outfit and leaving it at that.
So, if you want to get hands on and whip up your own Freddy glove to really add a splash of ownership to your costume, the good folk over at DIY Prop Shop are here to show you how it’s done! Bonus: the material they’re using is relatively inexpensive, so I see no reason why this couldn’t be made for around $20 or less, depending on what materials you already have.
