Show All ItemsMy oldest son wanted to be "Two-Face" from Batman (aka Harvey Dent) for Halloween this year. As the eight-year old that he was when I wrote this Instructable, his main exposure to Two-Face was the LEGO Batman Video Game. I searched and searched the web to find a pre-made costume, as I am a busy working mommy that has way too many commitments. I didn't have any luck with a quick on-line purchase so instead of asking him to change his mind, I decided to make him one. This is the Instructable that describes how I made his costume. It took me about eight (8) hours to paint, iron, wash, and dry the suit (that's not including the 24-hour mentioned dry time here and there) and about 30-minutes to put his make-up on. I also estimate the total cost to be around $60.00, as I had a few of the items in my craft stash. He loved it and to me, that was the only thing that mattered.Step 1: Research on Two FaceShow All ItemsHere on Instructables, there is a really good tutorial for an adult version of the Two Face Costume, obviously scarier than my version:Two faced Harvey make up and costume by Sarah_hoyle I researched the web and found a pretty cool kids version that just wasn't what I was looking for, but I would have used it for back-up if I couldn't get the costume you see in this Instructable right.
At the bottom of this blog post (BabyCenter Blog,) the author shows a pretty easy way to make a costume using electrical tape and sewing different clothes pieces together. I go into more detail for the fairly simple make-up I did for his face in Step 11. He wanted a version of the Tommy Lee Jones-styled Harvey Dent make up, and I wanted to go with more of the Lego Batman Version. I did the make-up so we compromised on the color (more purple/grey) and did the make-up with the stretched out lips. The photos are tagged with the website name source and of course, all my research was for personal use only. The main reason for the photos was to look at the black and white suit used in the Lego version of two-face. Turns out that the suit also appears on Batman: The Animated Series. Most of the photos you see in this Step are from that show. Step 2 begins the process of acquiring and making the suit.« Two Face Diy CostumeTwo Face CosplayAss CostumeUp CosplayCosplay ComiconCostume CosplayCosplay MakeupBoys Halloween MakeupHalloween SfxForwardAmazing!
I kinda want to do this Lady Two-Face cosplay one day!Step 2: Materials, Tools & EquipmentShow All ItemsThe gist of what I did was paint a white suit half black - based mostly off of the Lego Two-face character's style. I looked up how to paint fabric on the web and read up on what products I could use from this website: Create for Less. I knew I needed a larger quantity of fabric paint, so after reading the aforementioned website, I decided on a fabric medium to add to acrylic paint. I've experimented with other types of painting clothing before, but never to this large scale. I've also done clothes dying, but never for just half of a piece of clothing. I considered purchasing two suits and sewing them together, but my limitations on sewing were not worth the cost of two suits, as I just don't feel that confident sewing anyway. I also considered making a suit out of duct tape, but again, that just seemed like it would take too long. That's where this list of materials I used came into play:The Suit: Please see the photos for the suit components.
The one I purchased off of Amazon (Formal White Dress Suit Set)was all white with a shirt, tie, jacket, pants and vest for $40. black acrylic paint (I used about one 12-oz bottle) three (3) bottles of textile medium (2-oz bottles each) various sizes of sponge brushes a container to mix the paint in wax paper 3/4" wide blue Scotch Painter's Tape Optional: black fabric pen and ruler (Step 6) You will also need a place to paint and let the paint dry on (I used a disposable plastic tablecloth on my kitchen table), a washing machine and dryer, an iron and an ironing board (or a place to iron.)The make-up/hair color: Two purchased Halloween make-up kits - The colors I used were purple, grey, red, yellow, white and black Matte-type powder Make-up sponges black hair chalk white hair chalk hair spray A quick note on Halloween make-up: Not all kits are the same. Before you buy make-up, read the cautions on the back and check if the yellow and white can be used around the eye, and if the red, white and black can be used on the lips.

Once upon a time, there was a big Batman movie starring Michael Keaton. This was the late ‘80s, long before superheroes dominated the Hollywood tentpole landscape. And it was smart enough to start laying franchise groundwork for fans to get excited about. One such bit was the casting of Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent, who of course, is destined to someday become Two-Face. But that didn’t happen. As the series progressed into high-shit, it was decided we'd all pretend that never happened and the Two-Face role was given to notorious goofball and fun-loving thespian, Tommy Lee Jones. It was a grave injustice. But now it appears that wrong is being righted in the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie. According to the following Twitter exchange with director Chris McKay, Billy Dee Williams is lending his soothing voice to the Two-Face role, as destined: @buddboetticher Please tell me Billy Dee Williams voices Two Face? — Brent Waller (@BrentOnInternet) November 30, 2016
