Making a Mother Earth costume presents the costume maker with a creative challenge. Thinking about Mother Earth and what that costume should look like requires an open mind and earth tone materials. This costume can be a hit at the next Halloween costume party. It can certainly be the most beautiful, creative and ravishing.
Take a trip to your local department store to buy a pair of brown stretch pants and a brown long-sleeved shirt. These items are the base of your Mother Earth costume.
2
Visit your nearby craft and fabric store to purchase 3 yards of green sheer organza fabric and blue organza fabric.
3
Drape the fabric over your brown clothing as freely as possible. Pin in place with safety pins. Overlap the green and blue organza to make for a more stunning look.
4
Paint your face with glitter face paint of orange and gold earth tones. This makes for a dramatic look. You can either smear the glitter paint over your entire face or just apply above your eyes as an eye shadow.
5
Pin the silk flowers of various color in your hair. Your hair can be down or in a messy type bun or ponytail. The flowers serve their purpose no matter which way you style it.
6
Attach the rest of the silk flowers to the flowing organza with a safety pin to complete your simple, yet elegant Mother Nature costume.
Tips & Warnings
Buy extra sheer organza in case you are at a Halloween party that is rowdier than expected. In the event that your organza should tear, you then have more in your car to repair your Mother Earth costume.
