This homemade costume for couples entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Ryan, the 'Lumiere and Babette' costume creator:

My girlfriend and I go all out every time we dress up for Halloween. Both Lumiere and Babette costumes were home-made and took a total of about 3 hours.

Lumiere:
The candle base was constructed from an XL party bowl from your local party supply store (~$3.00). The circular bottom was cut out and the entire bowl was divided down the center. It was then spray painted yellow. I then attached each half of the base to a pair of old shoes using Popsicle sticks and hot glue. The bases for the hands were done similarly but did not need cut in half. To construct the large candles, I formed two cylinders out of rectangular sheets of white foam. I then used super glue to hide the seams and give the candle that melting effect. I then spray painted them white. To finish it off I just rolled some grey pieces of felt for wicks and stuck them into the tops of each candle. I bought a yellow bodysuit and used the detached hood to attach to the candle headpiece. And Ta Da! (~$50)

Babette:
Babette was slightly easier. My girlfriend simply hand sewed 8 or 9 black boas around an old skirt. She made her own hat by sewing a piece of elastic to a piece of white fabric and finishing it off with some fancy trim. The rest is self explanatory.

How exactly do you attach the candy base with popsicle stcks to the shoes?
