Natures Reptilian Costume

So I never wanted to be something normal and boring so I decided to make my costume that way it'll be original. I wanted to be a reptile but I wanted to be an alien too because you can make up anything when being a alien. I started watching horror movies and collecting ideas from them. I wanted to still look like a female so I didn't make it too horrifying.
I started off making scales with duct tape. Most of this costume is duct tape!
Then I bought a regular latex suit and painted it with acrylic paint. I bought the paint online for cheap. I put two coats of that. Then I made the feet with wedge shoes. The wedges I hit glued the duct tape scales on first then I painted them. The tail I made with a foam noodle carved it and then hot glued the scales. The hands are rubber gloves with acrilic paint over them and finger extensions. I made the crown with branches and hot glue and infused that with my hair so it can be sturdy and natural. My face consist of a lot of latex products and makeup blends. I'm wearing contacts to boost the dramatic effect. And yea that's how you make your costume on a budget and original! I hope you enjoy
