I’ve been searching for a unique and well crafted recycled Halloween costume, and I think I found it at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. Along with a detailed tutorial of making a homemade bat costume, the author includes matching — and striking, I might add — bat ears. Finally, we cheapskates have a use for the broken umbrella that sits in our closets!

Great collection of ways to use plastic Easter eggs
These look like mini mid mod planters. I bet by shaping the wire in more of a curl a Victorian style could be created. Pop on over to Apartment Therapy for a great collection of a wide variety of recycled plastic Easter egg crafts.
You should totally enter this in ReadyMade’s MacGyver challenge for this month! It’s gotta be the best idea I’ve ever seen for upcycling an old umbrella! (See page 88 of issue #31; the submission deadline is November 30.)
Thanks for the heads-up Michele! I love the MacGyver contest. I’ll pass this suggestion along to the actual designer of this creative costume.
I just watched an episode of Project Runway Canada where the designers created cocktail dresses out of umbrellas (: This totally makes me want to try it!!
Thank you regarding your awsome post. I will keep an observation on your own website, i allready saved it to personal list ๐
