Post Costumes - Hobbits
on: November 30, 2012 10:56
With the Hobbit movie approaching release I was wondering if anyone has made a hobbit costume. I was surprised when I didn't find a thread for that here, so I made one. If you have made a Hobbit costume feel free to post pictures. If you have any tips or questions about making one, you can share it here.
Here is a picture of one of my sisters in the Hobbit costume my older sister made for her. We put a different skirt over the original one because it was more full. I curled her hair by dampening it, then wrapping it around strips of stretchy t-shirt material, and tied it. She slept in it and when we took it out in the morning...Voila! Short bouncy hobbit curls in hair that is normally about the middle of her back and won't hold curl.

Thanks for setting up this thread, Eruwestiel. That's one very hobbit-y costume and hairstyle. Well done!

That's a great costume, and a really neat way of curling hair! Nice work!

Aww, thats an adorable costume! my little sister is planning on being a hobbit for a costume party at church.
We were one in the same, running like moths to the flame. You'd hang on every word I'd say, but now they only ricochet.
