any ideas on making a halloween costume?

Question

I'm off to a halloween party next week and all the people there make a great effort with their costumes so i dont wanna simply go out and just buy one cos i'll stand out! can anyone give me any tips on making a witches costume please?

Answer 1

Scour some charity shops for old black clothes, dresses, skirts, tops etc and buy some stripey tights. they're easily found either on line www.joke.co.uk i think stocks them or in various stores these days. if i were you i'd go out and buy a hat as they are a pain to make! same with broomsticks. you can get full sized ones at garden centres for a few quid. ankle boots are good for witches too. a cape might prove more difficult. You can get patterns but they normally have to be ordered in. if you're not worried about a hood you can always dye an old curtain.

heavy black make up, a black toy cat and any plastic spiders you happen to have lying around are always good and if you can get one, a small plastic cauldron!

have fun!

I think you should go to search question and look at the range of answers available, because people have been asking this question everyday on Y!A for about a month now, and alot of people are sick of answering already. I'm sure you'll get more ideas that way. Hope it helps!

Answer 3

Don't know about witches but you can be a toothbrush(a dirty one) real easy.I used a detergent box,coverd it with white(or colored) paper. Cut out a hole for your face on the side.Get some stiff white paper. Cut into long strips(but don't cut seperate paper strips. Roll your paper up and you'll have bristles. I used a hot glue gun to stick the bristles on. Make as many bristles as you want. To make it a "dirty" toothbrush I took some long green onion and weaved it through some bristles. Collor your face the same color as your box. Used this on my daughter(took about 1 hr to make) and cars stopped and said how cool it was.
HAPPY HOLLOWEEN!!!!
