How to make a Halloween Costume fast

Halloween is coming up very soon but do you have your costume done and ready to wear? Don't worry! Not everyone has the time to go to the big Halloween stores or take out the sewing machine and make a fancy costume. Let me show you how you can make three costumes merely out of nothing, and you will look great!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• black nail varnish
• white, black and red face paint
• black T-shirt, pants and shoes, sweatshirt with hood
• black umbrella
• black Felt, safety Pins or hot glue
• Scissors
• 2 bags of sticky spider web

1. 
    
   Vampire

   Dracula's Child
   Do your nails black.
   Wear a black shirt or sweatshirt (with hood) with black pants and black shoes.
   For short hair: Mix water with a good quantity sugar; with this mix spike your hair. If it won't stick, use more sugar.
   For long hair: Bind the hair together with an elastic band and wear the hood.
   Paint your face and neck completely white (arms and hands too if you like); add black shades of paint around your eyes to make them look hollow; paint your lips black and with red make some spots dripping down from one mouth corner, as if blood is dripping. Paint 2 teeth next to the mouth corners.

2. 
    
   Bat mask

   Crazy Bat
   Take umbrella and remove the handle; cut umbrella in half. For the fabric use a knife, for the metal rods use sharp pliers or a saw.
   With safety pins attach on each side of the arms of the black sweatshirt (with hood) the cut edge of the umbrella. Use as many safety pins. If you have a sewing machine to use, the better!
   Bat ears: Make them out of black felt and glue them with hot glue to the hood of the sweatshirt (or use safety pins)
   With black face paint create a bat mask around the eyes. Use white face paint for the rest of the pace and black paint for the lips.

3. 
    
   Spider nose

   Tarantulas Daughter (or son)
   Wear black clothes (shirt with a hood); cover your face with white face paint; with a brush and black paint create a big spider around your nose. Take the sticky spider web and wrap it around you until it looks like a net. Let some stripes hang down from your arms and wrap it also around your head. You will look like a creepy spider!
