The premium Steampunk Stroll is almost here and it’s time to get the creative juices flowing. This crawl is special because you can make A LOT of accessories, outfits, and what-have-you from every day knick knacks.
Goggles, eye-glasses, vests, corsets, top hats, long coats, lace, and frills all make up great Steampunk Stroll garments and gear.
Additionally, gears, bolts, brass, copper, chains, and steel accessories will accentuate any costume.
Here are few DIY costume ideas and examples from last year!
