Things You'll Need

• Long-sleeved black shirt
• Black jeans
• Comfortable black shoes
• Ninja accessories

Instructions

2. Get some black shoes. These shoes should match both the pants and the shirt, and they should also not have any logos or brand names on them. Also be sure that the shoes are comfortable enough to walk in for long periods of time.

3. Gather some ninja accessories. Get some black gloves that are the same color as the rest of the ninja outfit, not too thick and that make movement very easy.

5. Put on a ninja mask. This can be either a surgical mask painted black or just a plain black ski mask.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to let the paint completely dry before wearing the mask, as it is very dangerous to breathe in paint fumes.
