    Welcome to DH2
    Here at Studio Creations we try to give the budding costumer the necessary information about certain tips and tricks that go into making professional style costumes and props that are used in the Hollywood Movies.

    Not sure where to begin on a project? We have a basic primer on costuming and prop making.

    If you actually make something because of our tutorials, please, Contact Us and let us know. We enjoy seeing what fans are making from the information we are giving. SciFi, Fantasy, Horror ... We love it all!

    Studio Creations loves to network and make new friends. Contact us and keep in contact if you are an artist, craftsman or hobbyist. Also, email us if you saw this website mentioned in a magazine or something. :-)

    Donations Welcome      

    All the information on this website is given to the fans for free, but, Studio Creations still has to pay the hosting company to stay online. Paypal Donations are always welcome.
