How to Make a Dash Costume From The Incredibles
Store-bought Halloween costumes can be pricey. Because costumes are most likely worn for just one night, buying a costume can be a waste of money. Making your child's costume is cost-effective and allows you to express creativity. It's even possible to make costumes of characters from popular children's movies, such as a costume of Dash from Disney's "The Incredibles."

Use the black face paint to create a black mask around the eyes. Do not extend the mask all the way to the temples like a Lone Ranger mask. Dash of the Incredibles wears a mask that is just around the eyes, up to the brow bone.

Finish the Dash Incredibles costume by adding a pair of black boots. Add the now-dry black rubber gloves, and the Dash costume is complete.
