How to Make Soldier Halloween Costumes

Halloween is one of the most popular holidays for children and adults. There is a large allure for people of all ages to be able to dress and pretend to be someone they are not. Soldiers are probably one of the most popular costume choices. Luckily, there is no need to spend a lot of money buying a soldier costume.

Things You'll Need

• Face paint
• Black t-shirt

Instructions

1. Head to the thrift store. Hunters will donate their old camouflage outfits, and military members will give away old and outgrown uniforms. So you should be able to purchase all the pieces you need to create a solider costume here. You will need to pick up a pair of camouflage pants and shirt. For toddlers and preschoolers, the camouflage sweatpants that are popular will look great with an orange sweatshirt. You also need to buy a camouflage hat and work boots. If there are no camouflage hats, you can buy a plain black hat.

2. Remove any badges left on the camouflage shirt. You will want to remove any form of identification accidentally left from the previous owner.

3. Find a toy gun to carry with the costume. Any gun will work, but ideally the gun should be a basic black gun.

4. Put on a black t-shirt Just a basic black t-shirt will work. If there is a logo on it, turn the logo facing the back.

5. Put on the solider uniform. Use a pair of thick black socks with the boots.

6. Paint your face with camouflage paint. You can buy this at almost any dollar store.
