Halloweeeen! I've got another fine costume planned for this year. A Dwight Shrute Bobblehead. If you are not familiar with the Dwight Shrute bobblehead, you are missing out. Dwight is a character on the NBC comedy "the office", and he has a bobblehead... of himself. |
| If the Dwight Schrute bobblehead costume is too crafty for you to make this Halloween, try looking for Halloween costumes at the largest costume store anywhere. They have an excellent selection of adult costumes and kids costumes to make your next Halloween party memorable. |
The first step was to take some pictures and to use photoshop to visualize what the scale of the head would be if I used my body for Dwights. My neck could match up with his, and I'd be looking right out of his chin. |
Next, I photographed myself in the same pose with a measuring tape. A little more photoshop work revealed the proper size for the giant head: 29" across. |
The next step was to screw some pvc pipes to a backpack. I could have made my own harness, with padded shoulder straps and snap connectors, but that would have been a lot more work, and it wouldn't have been as good. I picked this one up at a second-hand store. |
Then I took a break to work on June's "Cage Fighter" Costume. Ok, it is for my costume. I think June should go as an ipod nano. |
The Backpack with hanger. |
I rounded off the top of the chicken wire cylinder and added a wooden yardarm. Attached to the backpack's mast, this R2-D2 shape could now fly about four feet above my head.
