How to enter a comic convention masquerade
It made me
really satisfied 
"Not only did I do it, but I won the best Workmanship award in the Novice division for my Dalek Costume!!!"
How I did it: Once I figured out what costume I wanted to do, i basically just went at it - I bought the fabric, got some help from people with the sewing and spent a pile of time painting, gluing and attaching things to other things. It was work, but it was totally worth it. At the convention, I entered the masquerade, wrote a short two sentence script and that was it! It was so so fun.
Lessons & tips: Be bold and don't think that your idea isn't good or that what you can come up with isn't good enough. Also, be creative and have fun with it!
