HELLEMENT Hearse


For the first time ever I made a Halloween costume for my car, a 2006 Honda Element!


I made the 'curtains' by first tracing the full windows onto paper. Next I somewhat freehand drew the curtains then cut all the bits out.  I then traced them onto 1.25 Tree vinyl, cutting all of those pieces out.  And then applying all of it to the windows.  The 'landau bars' I traced from my computer screen kinda like a light box.  Confusing and labor intensive?  Why, yes.  I wouldn't do it any other way!  I don't have a cricut machine, nor do I want one or want to learn how to use it. 

But I do have a friend who has a cricut and knows kinda how to use it so I had her make me a badge/title on the rear.
It's hard to read but says:  HELLEMENT  Funeral Parlor and Crematorium


Here's a few more views:


A better close up...but don't look too hard.  Everything is wonky.


I think it turned out looking pretty awesome.  The thought crossed my mind to leave it on permanently but I think it's a bit much.  I honestly don't like drawing attention to myself.  I like to be wallpaper.
