Great Halloween Ghost Costume

Materials

Old, tattered clothes -- the more tattered, the better
Light colored makeup foundation, DO NOT USE color stay kind OR Baby oil or light face cream
Baby powder or talcum powder
Eyebrow pencil - navy or dark grey
Hair Spray
Spanish Moss (optional)


The face is important here: While your makeup or cream base is wet, put on the powder with a puff or facial sponge or even just a tissue. PRESS on the powder in small areas at a time. Don't rub the powder on, as it will rub off your foundation and won't stick as well. You will get a very pale effect.

Next, get an eyebrow pencil or some very dark eye shadow (charcoal grey or dark navy) and brush on around and under your eyes, in the hollows of your cheeks (just below your cheekbones), on the sides of your temples, under your chin all along the jaw line, and along the lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth.

Finally, sprinkle some of the powder in your hair and rub through with your hands. Fluff out with your fingertips and spray with hair spray. For an even wilder effect, lightly tease your hair with a fine-tooth comb and then spray with hairspray. If you have some old chains around the house, drape them over your shoulders and around your body. Or, for an even creepier accent, attach wisps of Spanish moss to your clothes and hair.

Halloween Dino Dinosaur Costume

Materials

Large adults green, hooded sweat shirt
2 yards of purple felt (cheap at the craft store)
Gold Christmas tree garland (length 1 1/2 times child's height)
Purple pants (child's size)
Purple Mittens
White Ghost shaped bell (craft store) optional

Cut the felt into triangles, about 1 1/2 inches per side. Staple the triangles down an old piece of rope garland from the Christmas tree until there is enough length to go from the top of child's head to the floor and be able to drag a bit as the child walks. Then staple this from the top of the hood down the center of the back of the sweatshirt, creating the body.

Staple any left over felt pieces in spots around the front of the shirt. The shirt should come down over Childs knees and be big enough to allow for a warm coat underneath.

Finish the look with purple pants and purple mittens. Add a white ghost shaped bell to the end of the tail.
