How to Make Costumes of the Seven Dwarfs

Fans of the 1937 movie classic ‌Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs‌ are familiar with the distinctive personalities of Snow White's miner friends, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Happy, Grumpy, Bashful and Doc. A group of seven friends can become the dwarfs for Halloween, each adopting a particular character. Stocking caps, baggy clothing and a few choice accessories will transform your DIY group costume into the dwarfs. Dress each person in a different-colored T-shirt and add finishing touches to reflect the dwarfs' individualities.

Dress each person in the stocking caps (dwarf hats), over-sized shirts, pants and boots. Fasten a belt around each person's waist, over the shirt. Distribute the Santa-style beards for every dwarf, except Dopey, to wear to get your seven dwarfs costumes started.

Give Sleepy a pillow to carry with their costume. Advise them to yawn excessively, whether they're at a Halloween party or out trick-or-treating.

Paint Sneezy's nose pink for the look of a sore nose. Sneeze loudly instead of saying, "Trick or treat!" Even fairy tale Disney princess worlds have allergens.

Attach the fake pair of ears over Dopey's own ears. Give the toy trumpet to Happy. Advise both characters to smile often; after all, you're living it up on this storybook Halloween!

Paint a severe black line over each of Grumpy's eyebrows and advise them to scowl. The more menacing the scowl, the more likely you'll be to ward off Disney villains.

Fill a basket with silk flowers for Bashful. Paint their cheeks pink to create the flush of embarrassment.

Give the glasses to Doc to wear and assign them to lead the group of dwarfs when walking from door to door. This final dwarfs Halloween costume completes the full ensemble. Now go tackle the Halloween party circuit with this cosplay costume idea!
