Also, I can't go out and buy one. Stores generally carry costumes for little kids, and it's a high school costume party I'm going to. And I can't afford the rent fee at my local costume supplier.
If anyone knows a good home-crafted costume idea, I'd love to hear it. My available supplies include the usual household items, plus a plastic reaper's scythe, a few yards of wire mesh, dark blue curtains (I'll seriously use those if I have to, I'm not against old-fashioned improvisation), a 5' 6" length of black fabric cord, and an old red dragon's tail that I used last year.
The scarier the better (excluding overly-gorey ideas), but I don't mind just plain funny, beautiful, or whatever you can think of ideas. Any answer is better than none.
I was thinking of pulling down the curtains and fashioning a Grim Reaper outfit, but I'm not allowed to dye them black, and I'm not tall or gaunt enough for the act. If you have ideas that would make me look taller, though, I'd love to hear them.
