Vampire Cape and Headband!

I know I haven't been getting on the seasonal craft bandwagon (which has totally kept me out of the pumpkin themed link parties!), but I did sit down and do some really quick corner-cutting projects in order to turn my LDGD (little dark grey dress, haha) into a vampire costume. Combined with black tights and the right makeup, I just might pull it off.

The outside of the cape is black costume satin, and the inside lining is red organza. There's also a layer of a stiffer black material in the collar. I didn't make a tutorial for the cape, because I really had no plan at all in mind- as you can see, since this is what I started with:

I did a lot of things that I probably shouldn't have, like using a sheer material for the lining. Red costume satin would have been much easier. I tried to use only leftover materials from previous projects, however, and I succeeded- I didn't buy a thing for this project. But the organza made hiding unfinished edges a pain, so I just didn't hide them at all. I figured that for a one-night-wear, I could let it slide. If you look closely, you can see where they're tucked under through the organza. Oops.

And also, since I'm all into using my glue gun to make hair accessories now, I made a gothic-inspired headband to go with it. That's craft lace stuffed with the trimmings from the cape organza. Some stitches (the lace hides them really nicely), but mostly hot glue holding it all together.
