Halloween Help!
Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:26 pm
Okay, so I was gonna make my sheep costume for Halloween today, then my Mum suddenly tells me that it would be too hard to make! She's known about it for weeks! She could've told me ages ago and she suddenly decides to now?!
So I need a new costume idea, one that I can make at home and not have to buy anything but still quite funny.
Thanks in advance.

Take the bags of cereal out of their boxes. Slash holes in the boxes, decorating with red "blood" or not per your preference; you could also leave plastic knives sticking out of some wounds. Use string or something to attach your "victims" to your clothing.
If anyone doesn't get it, just explain: "I'm a cereal killer."

There's always the two holes in a sheet and voila...ghost
or the toilet paper mummy
or the...Blanket - cape, cut out cardboard sword and cover it with tin foil, make a crown out of tin foil or something and become a something....

Take an old white sheet, cut lots of round holes in it, go as Charlie Brown going as a ghost.

Since when is a sheep too hard? you just have to get an old t-shirt and cover it in cotton wool! i know some people who dressed as sheep for something a few weeks ago.
Since when do you need 2 holes to be a ghost??
*thinks* you could go as a red indian. if you have a bit of fabric (preff brown or similar) make it into a poncho and paint some patterns on it with poster paint and then make an indians head-dress.

Raid your mom's closet. No quicker or easier costume than dressing as the opposite sex. And if you happen to have a hair cut that allows it (read: not a buzz cut ), curl your hair a bit and put on some makeup to finish the look.

The sheep costume wasn't even started, am I understanding correctly? Because I was thinking, if it was, say, half-done, you could make a kind of propellor thing out of cardboard & safety-pin it to the costume/shirt.
You'd go as when the sheep hit the fan.

Okay I was googling a ton of different things and when I did sheep pictures it looks like you might be able to pull that one off still. It seems like you need black gloves, black socks, and some face paint.
How about like cutting up a pillow or two, (if they are like cotton ones you can pull apart) pull apart the cotton inside and glue it to the cut up pillowcase, make it fluffy and lots of it...this you can like use to wrap around your body making the wool. You can probably tie it to yourself with a string and it won't be noticeable through the "wool".
If you have like long underwear you can put that on and then wrap the thing around you...or you could use a white shirt and some tight white spandex you mom may have lol...I don't know x_X.
You just need then to make little ears our of probably card board and glue them to one of these type thingies http://www.vivas.jp/kaimono/shop-mingei ... ncha-c.jpg My mom has those but not all frilly like that...
DUDE!! Even better
Get a gray sweater and sweat pants or white whatever you have, and cut up the pillows and use that foam on the sweater and pants by attaching it with double stick tape. You can probably find a big double stick tape at the hardware store. Then use the black gloves and socks like I said, and make the ears like I said or if the sweater is a hoodie make ears and safetypin it to the hood. Lookie:
Sheep Costume
Materials:
gray sweatsuit
cotton batting
double-sided tape
white felt
safety pins
Steps:
1. Apply double-sided tape at various intervals across the sweatsuit, then place small pieces of cotton batting on the tape, covering the clothing.
2. Before covering the hood, use white felt and safety pins attached to each side to make the ears
How about a life size Lego?
To turn your child into a giant Lego, simply cut holes in the top and sides of a carboard box for her head and arms, glue empty applesauce cups or margarine containers to the box, and paint the whole thing a bright color. For the hat, repeat the process with a smaller box, then staple on an elastic chin strap. Dress her in a matching shirt and leggings to complete the look.
(okay that's for a girl, but I think it would be a funny idea for an adult)

Get on a shirt, a pair of black trousers and a black tie and go to peoples doors as a Jehovah's Witness. When someone opens a door, ask them if they want to love god or go to hell. If they say 'WTH?!', explain that you're a Jehovah's Witness and to get God's love they must give you candy. I went to a fancy dress gig like that and I got great laughs.

Or you could go in a white or light blue shirt and tie as a Mormon.

You're lucky you're not Welsh, you wouldn't last too long dressed as a sheep in Wales.
