| RUN OVER BY A CAR LOOK 1. Take your shirt outside and lay it on the ground facing up, where you can drive over it. If possible, place it about 12 feet from some mud so your car's tires will have a chance to roll through the mud before rolling over the shirt. Angle the shirt so the tires will run diagonally over it. 2. Drive very slowly over your shirt. 3. Park your car, and then go back and look at your shirt. There should be visible tread marks from your tires. If you did manage to roll through mud, let the mud dry before you pick the shirt up. 4. Let the mud dry, and then go over the muddy tread marks with a dark marker so they are more easily visible. 5. Rub some mud and dirt onto your face and into your hair. 6. Pull the shirt on carefully, and stick branches into your clothes so that they are sticking out from under the neck and sleeves of your shirt. 7. Put on only one shoe to complete the recently run-over look. |
| Great Easy Costumes |
| Dead Old Lady Costume 1. Make a bun or an upsweep. Now streak it gray with temporary color, or if you're blond, try a nice blue wash? Old wigs and hairpieces are common thrift shop items. 2. Select an old-fashioned hat from the attic, a garage sale, a rummage sale. Add a bit of netting for a veil, and now you have a place to hang plastic spiders, ants and other ghastly bugs. 3. Raid your great-aunt's closet or the resale shops for a print dress, wool suit or appropriate skirt and shirt buttoned to the neck. Adorn it with beads, bangles and brooches. 4. Put on a pair of little white gloves from the aforementioned rummage sale. 5. Pull on the thickest, most bandage-like stockings you can find. 6. Find any dark shoes that will fit. If you're lucky to be a woman's size, again raid the Salavation Army shoe racks. 7. Powder face generously. No matter what your natural coloring, a dusting of white powder will add a nice deadly glow. Smudge gray eyeshadow around your eyes, especially where there are natural hollows. Spooky? 8. Sparingly swoosh bluish highlights around your features. 9. Add any plastic scars, gashes or red vampire marks, as you're visiting from "the other side." But do so sparingly - subtle is best. 10. Glue thousands of plastic ants and spiders everywhere on your clothes, hair, face and body. 11. Dab self with mud. 12. Moan loudly. |
| Cookie Monster (for kids) Use an adult-sized blue shirt with the bottom middle sewn (or glued) to make leg holes. Then take a baseball cap and glue big white balls (ping pong balls maybe) on it with big black circles for the eyes. Make a big huge cookie for her to carry around. This can be made with big circles of brown felt, two pieces sewn or glued together and stuffed with batting (or something like that). Use dark brown or black peel-off felt for the chocolate chips, or, if the cookie was made big enough, it could even be what the candy goes in. |
