一位女士用泡沫塑料和马桶的铰链制作了一套移动的玫瑰服装

While Halloween is certainly over, some costumes leave such a strong impression that it’s worth talking about them days, even weeks, after the event. One of such costumes is definitely this ‘blooming’ rose made by Genevra Collier. Not only is it made of foam and toilet seats, she crafted the whole thing in just 26 days!

虽然万圣节已经结束了，但一些服装给人留下了深刻的印象，值得在几天甚至几周后谈论它们。其中一件这样的戏服肯定就是这朵由杰内弗拉·科利尔制作的“盛开的”玫瑰。它不仅是由泡沫和马桶座圈制成的，她在短短26天内就完成了这一切!

Collier not only showed the final result, an impressive animated flower costume, but also was kind enough to give as a step-by-step guide on how she made it. Through trials and errors and endless hours trying to meet the deadline – a Hallowee party – Genevra pulled all the string together just hours before the event. And hell, all the effort was definitely worth it. Check out the process as well as the result and watch your mouth open in awe!

科利尔不仅展示了最终的结果，一个令人印象深刻的动画花卉服装，也足够善良地展示了，作为一个循序渐进的指导，她如何做到这一点。通过尝试和错误，以及为了赶万圣节派对的最后期限而无休止的工作，吉内夫拉在活动前几小时把所有的事情都安排好了。当然，所有的努力都是值得的。看看这个过程和结果，看着你的嘴因敬畏而张开!

This impressive moving costume was created in 26 days!

这套令人印象深刻的服装是在26天内完成的!

She started off with a sketch

她先画了一幅素描

“In addition to looking like a big ol’ flower, I wanted the costume to bloom.

“除了看起来像一朵大花朵，我还想让服装绽放。

To animate the bloom, I used slow-close toilet seat hinges. I was inspired by the bathrooms at my office LOL. Making it happen was my toughest challenge to date. I had 26 days to get it done, no clue if it would work, and no backup plan. ”

为了让花动起来，我使用了缓慢关闭的马桶盖铰链。我的灵感来自我办公室的卫生间，哈哈。实现它是我迄今为止面临的最大挑战。我有26天的时间来完成它，不知道它是否有效，也没有备用计划。”

“Step One: acquire toilet seat. I tested a bunch of slow-close ones at different stores, and found a Bemis that seemed to have the smoothest most consistent motion. They’re $40 a piece, but the whole costume hinged on that movement.”

“第一步:买马桶盖。我在不同的商店测试了一堆慢速关闭的Bemis，发现其中一个Bemis的动作似乎是最平稳的。每件40美元，但整个服装都是围绕着那个运动。”

“Step Two: extract hinges. For this I bought a little circular saw and sliced the lid and seat in half. I thought maybe the whole thing would just fall apart once it was separated, but I wound up with two functional hinges! Surprise discovery: the hinges aren’t symmetrical. One is attached to the seat side and one to the lid, and the housing is slightly different.””

“第二步:取出铰链。为此，我买了一个小圆锯，把盖子和座位切成两半。我原以为一旦它被拆开，整个东西可能就会散架，但我最后用了两个功能铰链!惊喜发现:铰链不对称。一个是附在座位的一边，一个是盖，和住房略有不同。

“I drilled the hinges and bolted them onto a ring of MDF that would serve as the foundation for the costume. All the elements of this project can be disassembled and rearranged, which allowed me to change things up a lot as I figured out the design, without starting over.”

“我在铰链上钻孔，然后把它们固定在一圈中密度纤维板上，作为服装的基础。这个项目的所有元素都可以拆卸和重新安排，这让我在设计的过程中改变了很多东西，而不用重新开始。”

“Once the hinges were cut apart, I had to stabilize them on the empty side to keep them from wiggling lose. After wrapping my brain around what needed to happen (ouch), I made a foam core mockup, then traced and cut it out of MDF and sanded it into shape. I screwed the MDF pieces onto the lid plastic from the back.”

“一旦铰链被切断，我必须稳定他们的空侧，以防止他们失去摆动。在我的脑子里想了想需要做什么之后(哎呦)，我做了一个泡沫核心模型，然后用MDF描出并切割它，然后用砂纸打磨成它的形状。我把中密度纤维板从后面拧到盖子塑料上。”

“My first draft with foam petals was MASSIVE. LOL, ok the final thing is big too, but I definitely needed to trim everything down a bunch.”

“我用泡沫花瓣做的第一稿非常厚重。哈哈，好吧，最后一件事也很重要，但我确实需要把所有的东西都剪掉一些。”

And here’s the stunning result!

这里是惊人的结果!
