How to Make a Halloween Hooded Robe

Make a hooded robe with an old sheet.

If you are running out of time for making your Halloween costume, consider making a hooded robe within about 15 minutes. You can use your hooded robe to dress up as Little Red Riding Hood or the Grim Reaper, depending on the materials you use.

Things You'll Need

• Sheet
• Ribbon
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Hot glue sticks

Instructions

1. Spread out an old, solid-colored sheet. Drape the sheet over the shoulders of your partner. Then, pull up the sheet so that it forms a "hood" over your partner's head.

2. Ask your partner to hold the hood in place on his head. Meanwhile, cut about 20 inches of ribbon from a spool.

3. Plug in your hot glue gun with a glue stick loaded in the gun.

4. Tie the ribbon in a bow around the sheet and your partner's neck. Ask your partner to hold the top of the hood with one hand and the bow with the other hand. This will hold the robe in place while you glue it together.

5. Squeeze a few dots of hot glue behind the ribbon all the way around the hood. Allow to dry.

Tips & Warnings

• Your color selection of sheet and ribbon will determine how it fits with a particular costume.
