But Make it Vintage: MOTHMAN! || Ep. 9

[@mostlyghostey]

Rachel: wearing a perfectly suitable set of bat ears she could use to pattern her moth man hat after. Also Rachel: uses the duct tape and plastic bag monstrosity as a pattern instead.

Does anyone know where the bat ears are from? They’re so cute 🦇🙌🏻

I need a series about the fabric stash. Like you pull out a random fabric you haven’t touched and then come up with a project from there 😮

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

Good call for using up some of the stash! 👍 And not having to think up random video topics for a bit... Hope your suggestion gets noticed!

[@mirjanbouma]

That's a great idea and I hope Rachel sees it!

[@dothebunnyhop4026]

Can confirm that black faux fur jacket is actually way cheaper than buying a yard at the fabric store...

[@sunnydoom2726]

Right! Faux fur is crazy expensive. When I need it for a costume I usually just thrift a furry vest or coat or someting.

[@Emilymakesthings]

Absolutely… it’s SO expensive😭 my jaw dropped when she said only $15 for that jacket! Also in California, the jacket would be $40 at thrift stores…

[@wise_girl9388]

When the world needed it the most, the glorious series of But Make It Vintage returned. *Edit* Nick running out to his toolshed to grab some sandpaper to help Rachel without him being asked is just so freakin' wholesome. That's a good husband.

[@amandamangan5021]

As a lover of all things vintage with a love/fear/respect of mothman (thank you Bailey Sarian), this 'But Make It Vintage ' made me screech with excitement. Soooooook cute! And such a great costume!! 😍 ❤ 😍

This video has everything. sewing, crafting, goblin thrifting, words of wisdom, makeup, puns, cryptids, cute outfits, frodo cameo, purest form of unhinged rachel..... Words cannot express how much I enjoyed all 24 minutes and 33 seconds of this. And the end result is *chefs kiss* I want that mothman hat. and ur OTGW shirt. i just really freakin enjoyed this.

[@BeccaTheBard]

Agreed, this was absolute PEAK Rachel Maksy at its finest, start to finish 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@azrani2023]

1000% agreed to both of you. It's full of fun and energy and I loved it from start to finish.

[@lmm046]

Not sure if someone already said this, but you should make a crow/raven headpiece too and get 2 costumes in one. Love the glowing eyes.

[@medicwebber3037]

If costume companies don’t IMMEDIATELY come out with Mothman and Mothma’am costumes after seeing this, they are REALLY missing out on a seriously good sale. This was _PHENOMENAL!!_ I love it! Another fantastic vid, ma’am! Enjoyed every minute of it! 🎃❤️🎃

[@hospitalcakewalk]

they actually have since the mockumentary got famous way back in the day. In fact, moth man has been one of the most loved costumes yearly for actual decades now. I dont really expect the common folk to know this, as I (a cryptid nerd) have a fascination with this, especially since Moth Man is my favorite Cryptid and my every day hoodie actually has him on the front... so there's so new information for you :)

[@BeccaTheBard]

I agree completely!! It gave me so much joy to see it come together!!

I was just expressing on a recent video of Aurelio Voltaire's how badly I would love for you two to collaborate and he said he loves your videos. It's a small world. And, honestly, you guys are not that far from each other, making it even better! I get so inspired by both of you when it comes to Halloween!

Mothman was the first urban myth cryptid I've heard about. Knew big foot and the monster of loch ness of course, but saw a documentary during a sleepover and me and my friends got scared shitless, thinking mothman was outside.

[@azrani2023]

😂 I have never heard about mothman before, but I would have reacted to that documentary just like you and your friends. I guess Mothman is not a European thing (I am from Germany). Also I'm avoiding any horror-related stuff like hell, because I'm way too easily scared. Maksoween is the only form of content in which I can digest spooky things 😃

[@tinymeanginger6293]

My husband and I went to the mothman museum back in august, then swell went to the mothman festival and now you’re doing this! I hadn’t thought about mothman in years before now. So weird how stuff like that happens lol

[@dreamhacker606]

My mind the whole time: Don't recreate your Mothman costume. Don't do it. DON'T YOU DARE Also my mind: [already planning my route through Goodwill and other thrift stores] Anyways I adored this little vintage twist on Mothma'am 🖤🖤🖤

[@WS102]

October is my favorite month and Autumn is my favorite season. I watch your videos year round, but your Autumn focused videos are my annual guilty pleasure.

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

Autumn (and blossoming early spring) are my faves, too, and as we start getting into hotter weather here I was very jealous seeing Rachel's lovely fall foliage and cooler temperatures!! 😆

[@ArchmageSerestia]

As a West Virginian living in Mothman's territory who has followed you for a long time now, I have been hoping you would make something like this for awhile! Bless you! It's perfect!

[@mdavis2271]

If you ever feel like going back and you still want color, you could try to make the feathers look like raven feathers where they have a oil slick kinda look. So they can still have a lil 🌈 rainbow 🌈

[@ullasabat]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@Nwladylaura369]

Feathers on both sides?

[@Redboots]

the hissing at christmas decorations is such a mood like normally I hate it when american holidays and cultural things are brought over here but halloween is the ONE exception because it prevents places from putting out their christmas displays in early september if they hadn't done a christmas in july one and left it up

[@Chibihugs]

Awww heck yeah. This is delightful Halloween goodness. 🎃 ❤ Quick!!! Someone shine a light on her mirrorball dress for Moth Rachel to flutter around.

You had me at "1920s winged flapper." This is brilliant and wickedly gorgeous. Well done 🖤💚💜

I was just looking at 1920’s Halloween costume illustrations today and low & behold Rachel has a video making one of them!! Razzle Dazzle! The dress is super cute on its own too. 🎃

[@tahirihmaddela]

That curl perpetually in your right eye or cheek XD Also, love how the full monster mothman is SO much sassier than the human-faced mothman.

[@mmangaboi_5355]

that turned out so super cool!! just a note if you decide to use fur in other future projects- you only want to cut the backing. use a box cutter and go from the back side, or do really small, shallow cuts with scissors. That'll just help it look a little less choppy and a bit more neat, as that way you won't be affecting the length of the fur itself

[@replicant101]

I’m a huge fan of fall and Halloween, but have been really depressed this month with little energy or attention to do anything… except watch your vids. I marathoned your Autumnal playlist last night and it made me laugh a lot, which is such a gift that I had to say something. Thank you ❤
