Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! Perhaps because it's the one
day out of the year that we can all play.
Need some last minute ideas for costumes?
How about being a mummy? All you need is gauze, spirit gum, and a little black
makeup. Put black eye shadow, or black theatre makeup around the eye area up
to the eyebrows and below the eyes. Add gauze or cheesecloth, wrapping around
the head and gluing in a few places with spirit gum on the nose and cheeks.
Wrap your hands, and you're ready to go.
What about a headless horseman/woman?
Cut a piece of cardboard or foamboard, approximately the width of your shoulders,
12 to 14 inches. Secure the cardboard to a plastic headband with hot glue.
Put the headband on and adjust the cardboard so that it's as level as possible.
Place a long overcoat over the cardboard, adjusting as needed so that you can see
out the front where the coat buttons. Voila!
How about a mad scientist? All you need are some test tubes, a white
lab coat and some crazy hair.
How about a different approach? Buy one of the spiders
with the long legs (sold for decorative purposes). Unwrap the legs,
and wrap them around your neck and wear as your "pet". Paint black
makeup on your face to go along with the spider.
Enjoy the holiday!
