Bow Tie for Vampire Halloween Costume

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here today to show you how to make a vampire costume. We have 2 last pieces of our formal wear before our vampire classic look is going to be largely complete. The first is a bow tie. This is something relics of a bygone era. Now days most everyone has switched to tie, but if you want to go for a classic vampire look, avoid neck ties. Try to go with a good ol' fashion bow tie. A lot of places will even sell them where you don't have to worry about tying a bow tie, which is another lost art. They also have them where they have clips. Again, second hand stores are likely to have these. If you go to costume shops bow ties will also be around often times with this elastic string, which makes it easier to put on for you. It's a simple exercise, just right around the neck. Again, just make sure the elastic is well away from your face so you don't smudge any makeup. A lot of people can do this, no problem after they have the makeup on. The other is a cummerbund, which is going to go around your mid section. Fellas, if you've ever gone to formal dance, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about here, as it's included with most tuxedo rentals now a day. It's going to go around you mid section, you're going to tie it off, and then you're going to largely have your formal look is going to be complete."
