Easy DIY Halloween Costumes. Four truly creepy Halloween costumes - quick and DIY

The fashion of celebrating Halloween came to us from the USA. There it is a massive masquerade that takes place on the streets of the city. In our country, many people loved the idea of ​​celebrating All Saints' Day, but it has not yet gained such widespread popularity. In most cases, young people organize themed parties and dress up in interesting and scary costumes for Halloween. And the most important thing at such a holiday is to match the image as much as possible. You can sew any suit yourself, because this option will not only be original, but will also save money.

Costume ideas

Any image must be associated with evil spirits. It's better for princesses and fairies to attend another holiday. On a day when dark forces awaken and emerge from their sanctuaries, it is better to match this theme. Scary Halloween costumes can depict the following characters: vampire, devil, dead man, ghost, zombie and of course, witch.

An integral symbol of Halloween is the pumpkin. It can be of any shape and size. Holes are cut in the vegetable for the mouth and eyes, the middle is completely removed, and a candle is placed in its place. The costume of this same pumpkin can also be original.

Girls enjoy dressing up as a vampire, a dead nurse or a bloody princess. The couple can pay attention to the pirate and his faithful companion.

Among the general fun there are also positive characters: Van Helsing, Harry Potter and his friends, Jack Sparrow, Terminator, Transformers, Spider-Man and other superheroes, Zorro.

But the most popular image for adult girls, women and little girls is the witch. We will talk further about how to make it for Halloween with your own hands.

How to choose an image for a witch

A traditional witch is a lady in a beautiful dark dress with a mantle or cape, always with a hat and a broom. But modern fairy tales and films dictate their fashion about what a witch should look like. It is from cinematographic films that you can get ideas. This will help you figure out how to make a witch Halloween costume and what details to pay attention to. Here are examples of the most popular images.

Witch from old fairy tales

Such an old woman seems to us like Baba Yaga on a broom and in a mortar. She has gray hair, a sly look and warts on her face. If you are not afraid that children will be afraid of such an image, then feel free to experiment. In clothes, take a closer look at your grandmother's old cast-offs: a long skirt, an apron, a shirt and a vest on top. Cover yourself

Witch from the forest

She can be good or bad. Add natural elements to your image: leaves, berries. Let them be present on a hat or dress. In the color scheme, stick to green and yellow shades. The main outfit can be dark green or brown; the cape can be made of light, airy materials. A small hat will look original. Pay special attention to your eyes and makeup, whiten your skin and add green or blue shadows.

Charming Gothic

Such a witch never smiles and is very strict. Her dress and all other elements are exclusively black. Her lips are red-scarlet, and her eyes contain a terrifying depth. All accessories are spiders, cobwebs, black cats, crosses. For this look, choose a long one.

Fashionable witch

This is the image of a cheerful, perky witch. She is relaxed and light, sexy and very alluring. For a fashionable witch, a short fluffy dress or skirt is suitable. Don't be limited by colors: it can be a combination of black and pink, purple, light green or green. Such a witch may even have the most daring image for experiments instead of a broom.

Unapproachable Queen

Imagine the Snow Queen. She is strict, mysterious and unapproachable. She has a chic dress and a high collar. She may not have a hat, but she must have a cold gaze. When choosing a dress, pay attention to the fluffy long skirt, decorated with many folds. Be sure to throw an elegant robe over your shoulders.

Components of a witch costume

Beautiful evil sorceresses from fairy tales have always attracted people with their mystery. Remember Maleficent too. One look from her was mesmerizing. A beautiful bright costume with a black cape and a long fluffy floor-length skirt - such an unusual outfit can easily be bought in a store, but making a witch costume for Halloween with your own hands is very simple. Let's consider the main components of any such outfit:

• hat;
• corset;
• skirt;
• cape

The corset and skirt can be combined into a single dress. But without special cutting and sewing skills, you can separate these elements and get an equally amazing result. Let's look at how to make a witch costume at home step by step.

Hat

What does a witch's hat look like? That's right, it's sharp-angled with wide brims. If you don’t have a suitable one at home, you can easily cut it out and make it. What you will need for this:

• white and brown cardboard;
• ribbons or any other decorations for a hat (you can make spiders from black paper);
• scissors;
• glue;
• needle and thread.

Instead of a paper hat, you can make a fabric one. Felt is ideal for this purpose. It doesn't fray, holds its shape well and is easy to use. In addition, various decorations are better attached to such fabric.

Instructions for making a hat

1. The first step is to cut out a circle with a hole in the middle from white cardboard. The diameter of the hole should be equal to the circumference of the head.
2. Then you need to transfer the size of the circle onto brown cardboard. The outlines are drawn in pencil, but the hole is not completely cut out. Instead, triangular cuts are made in it along the entire diameter and folded over. They will become the basis for attaching the cone.
3. The cone is made like this. Brown cardboard must be folded like a bag for seeds. The bottom edge needs to be aligned and cut to the same length. The diameter of the base of the cone should be equal to the inner circumference of the hat brim.
4. Then you need to put the cone on the triangles and glue them well.
5. Then decorate the hat with a ribbon, securing it with a needle and thread. Any other elements can be used as decoration: stars, rhinestones, fabric spiders.

The hat can be any size. Little princesses will be happy to wear a neat hat on a hairpin or headband. If you don’t want to wear a bulky accessory, you can experiment with others. For example, a headband made of bats will do.

Find a stencil online or draw the silhouette of a bat yourself. Transfer it to black cardstock and cut it out. Try to make the mice different in size to make the composition look more lively. Bend each piece in half to create the impression of a fluttering mouse. Make two holes in the center through which fasten the wire. Tie the other end of the rod to the rim. Put it on your head and amaze everyone with how wonderful you managed to sew a witch costume.

Corset

In order to sew the simplest version of clothing, you don’t need a witch costume pattern. Any black blouse, T-shirt or bodysuit can serve as a top for a dress.

The version presented above uses a long black floor-length dress as the main element. Surely this can be found in any lady’s wardrobe. If you are not sure that black suits you, give preference to other shades, such as purple or gray. In general, when going to Halloween, don’t think about which color scheme should dominate. Only your imagination should work here.

To make the look authentic, decorate your top with some symbolic elements: rhinestones, stars, beads. Place a raven or a black cat on your shoulder.

Skirt

A witch costume (adult) involves the use of a long, floor-length skirt. If you don’t have one, borrow one from your grandmother or a relative you know. You can also buy it, but you are unlikely to ever wear it again.

There can be a lot of options for designing a skirt. In order for a witch costume for Halloween, created with your own hands, to be original, do not be afraid to show your imagination. If you don't have a long skirt, take a short one. Or perhaps you even have a dress, then that’s fine too. Cut a rectangle from transparent black fabric, the length of the floor, and its width should be twice the circumference of your hips. Make folds with your hands and secure them with a needle and thread. Stretch a long ribbon and tie it at your waist. The skirt is ready!

Children's full skirt for Halloween

Some of our little ones also want to wear a witch costume. The children's version is practically no different from the adult version. All the same elements, the same materials. Let's look at how to make a full skirt for a holiday, using a specific example.

A Halloween witch costume for girls involves the use of the following materials and tools:

• dark colored bodysuit;
• organza ribbons of two shades (they can be different, in our example we use black and light green);
• scissors;
• rubber bands.

The first step is to measure your waist circumference. It should be noted that this skirt is suitable for both adults and children. The time to make it is half an hour.

Next, you need to cut strips from the tape. You need to calculate the length like this. First, determine your desired skirt length. Let's say for a child it will be 50 cm. Multiply this figure by two and add 2 cm. Total - 102 cm. Cut a lot of these strips.

Start attaching the strips to the elastic bands, following the pattern shown in the photo below.

Fold the ribbon in half and thread it through the elastic. Alternating colors, secure all the ribbons. You will see how they puff up. That is why dense materials are best suited for such purposes: organza or tulle.

That's it, the skirt is ready!

Cape

A DIY witch costume for Halloween would be incomplete without a cape or cloak. The easiest option is to borrow it from any nearby costume rental. But we are creating an original image. This means that our sweet lady will wear a witch costume made from scrap materials.

What are we looking for? For a cape or cloak we will need any dark material available in the house. It could be a scarf, a husband's T-shirt, an old raincoat, anything. Perhaps you have a beautiful openwork scarf in a dark color. Then the question of the cape is resolved. You will try on the image of a vintage dark seductress.

Now we offer you one unusual version of the web cape. To create it, find something black. You can use an old skirt or T-shirt. The size of the material will depend on how long you want the cape. Count on it to at least cover your shoulders.

Fold the material in half, and then in half again, as shown in the picture. Start making the pattern from the edge where the folds are. Measure the circumference of your head. Divide the resulting number by 2. Set this length plus 2 cm from the edge of the fabric and mark it. From the second corner, make a second one. Connect the dots in a semicircle.

Set aside the length of the cape in a horizontal direction from the beginning of the folded edge. The length of the arms will be approximately 70 cm in one direction. Measure from the neckline point. Cut out a semicircle. You should end up with a pattern similar to a circle skirt.

Any mantle will have a similar shape. Find a pattern for an ordinary circle skirt on the Internet, replace the waist with a neckline - and the mantle is ready. If necessary, you can sew on a hood. To do this, cut out two semicircular parts, sew them in a straight line and attach them to the neckline from the back.

Let's start creating the web for our example.

Using chalk, draw vertical stripes on the fabric from the neckline downwards. This will help maintain proportions. Cut out the bottom. Draw each segment of the web in a horizontal direction. Using sharp scissors or a utility knife, cut out the marked holes.

If the fabric frays, tuck the edges. For any robe, try to use light and thin fabrics that will not weigh down the look. The Halloween witch costume and decorative element are ready!

Additional accessories

We figured out how to make a witch costume for Halloween. The hat is ready, the skirt is in place, the top is selected. There's even a cape. But that is not all. You need additional accessories to complete the look. What are these elements?

1. Tights. If the event is held indoors, then, naturally, you need to wear thin ones. It is better to wear black tights with a pattern under a short skirt. Choose an original ornament or mesh. For an event taking place outside, it is better to choose a warmer option; after all, it is the end of October. Opt for striped leggings.
2. Shoes. It could be shoes or boots, it doesn’t matter at all. Choose a platform that will make it convenient for you to dance and have fun until the morning.
3. Earrings. Bright, eye-catching jewelry is what you need. Halloween is that holiday where you can't have too much of everything. Feel free to choose earrings with large stones, in the form of a cobweb or a black cat.
4. Rings, brooches, necklaces. Everything should be thematically stylized. Take the time to go shopping and pick up accessories for your witch costume.
5. Handbag. Of course, a small classic clutch will look best. Brave girls can successfully replace it with a bowler hat. By analogy, you can make it yourself from cardboard and cover it with dark fabric. A little advice: you shouldn’t store your mobile phone or wallet in it.
6. Broom. Well, what is a witch without a broom? It can be small, in the form of a brooch, or large, such that you can hold it in your hand. A broom is a must!

How to make a broom

If you live in a region where there is still no snow at the end of October, then you are very lucky. Go to the nearest park and collect a lot of small twigs. Gather them into a bun, attach a thicker long stick to them and you're done!

Dry grass can be used instead of branches. It will also look no worse, and most importantly, it will be safer.

You can make a small broom. It is used to decorate an outfit or a festive table. For needlework you will need: bamboo skewer, rope threads, thin threads, scissors.

Cut the flagella at least 7 cm long. Make a small bunch, insert a skewer into it and tighten on one side with a thin thread. Unscrew the threads and tighten them again at the base. The broom is ready.

Making your own Halloween witch costume is very easy. If you don't have sewing skills or talent, use simple materials, ready-made skirts and T-shirts. After all, the most important thing in preparing an image is to decorate things correctly and apply makeup. Don't forget about the basic elements of any witch's image: a hat, a robe and a broom.

1. Dead schoolgirl

For those who miss school.

How to do it? This is a fairly simple Halloween costume: two ponytails, a short skirt, a white blouse and knee socks, splattered with blood - the image of a dead schoolgirl is ready! Use old, unnecessary things (not necessarily a uniform, the main thing is that the image is businesslike); instead of knee socks, take old tights and add holes to them for decoration.

Let's make blood splatters using acrylic paint:

• Mix a small amount of water, red acrylic and a drop of green in a container (if you need dried blood stains, then you need to add a little more green).
• Blood splatters are created using a brush and the edge of a glass (we move the brush from the bottom of the container to the edge, and the brush splashes the paint).

2. Creepy witch

No sexy costumes! The witch in our performance is one of those who curse with one glance.

How to do it? It's easy to make a scary witch image for Halloween with your own hands! You'll need the blackest, longest, most shabby pieces in your wardrobe. Preferably a cloak or mantle and a long black skirt (or better yet, several). And remember: the more things you wear, the better! You can buy a witch hat in a store or make it yourself from cardboard. And don't forget the bright lips and scary eyes (it's time to get out your creative contact lenses and give it a try). Simply comb your hair and fix it with hairspray.

Some makeup ideas for inspiration:

For those who really don't have time...

How to do it? With this costume everything is very simple - we put on old, unnecessary, preferably tattered jeans and an old T-shirt. We splatter with blood from the first point of this article and apply spectacular makeup. You can use not jeans, but take any old and unnecessary things.

Ideas for makeup in this video tutorial from the makeup artists of the series “The Walking Dead”:

For those who don’t know where to wear that very cute dress!

How to do it? The cutest dress from your wardrobe will suit the image of a beautiful and neat doll. For more ambiance, take an old chiffon dress and give it a shabby look (tear it, make holes, wrinkle it, etc.). All you have to do is straighten and comb your hair, we focus on makeup: it’s done as usual, but with some additions:

• We pay great attention to the skin. Use a primer or thick cream as a base - the powder or makeup should lie perfectly.
• It is necessary to properly whiten the face and give it porcelain fragility. A large amount of very light blush or makeup will do.
• Use false eyelashes, a lot of mascara, a curling iron - whatever you have in your arsenal or can buy at your local store. Eyelashes in a doll look are the most important thing. Using eyeliner, draw additional eyelashes on the lower eyelid.

To complete the look, practice a detached look, and to add mysticism, use unusual contact lenses. You can also make a “broken doll” or “scary” one - with the help of cosmetics and imagination.

All Hallows' Eve is a holiday of rampant evil spirits and a reason to have a lot of fun. You can get ideas for Halloween costumes for guys from movies, games, books; a win-win option is classic images. All of them can easily be created with your own hands.

Mummy

For the outfit you will need bandages or white cloth. It can be pre-soaked in strong tea to create an aged effect.

Banksy painting

You will need a jacket, jeans or trousers, gloves, a cap and a bandana. All clothing must be black. You need to paint strokes on it with white paint, like in a painting by a street artist. The face should also be made white. An additional accessory will be a bouquet of flowers in paper packaging to perfectly match the picture.

Joker

Quite a popular image. Moreover, you can focus on different films and choose the most interesting style. The main thing is a wide smile, a pale face, green hair and shadows under the eyes.

A vampire

The vampire image is too popular to avoid. But you don't have to look for a long robe and suit. You can use fangs, wear dark glasses and regular clothes, and draw two bite marks on your neck.

Woodcutter

A beard, a plaid shirt, jeans, a vest and an ax - you have a simple look. Fake blood on the hands and the creepy instrument will help make it darker.

Unicorn

The costume looks complicated, but it is easy to make with your own hands.

The horn needs to be painted pink and attached to the rim. You can decorate it with sparkles.

Stephen King character

“The Shining” is a fairly popular book, and there is a movie based on it, so the image will be recognizable. You will need a wooden or plywood board in which you need to make a hole and push your face there (if desired, you can replace it with cardboard painted to look like wood), a red jacket, a checkered shirt and an axe.

Mister proper

If your hair is similar to the hairstyles of Vin Diesel or Bruce Willis, then creating the image of an advertising character will not be difficult. A white T-shirt and an earring are required. Eyebrows need to be highlighted and painted white (or pieces of cotton wool should be glued on). Complete your outfit with blue jeans and you're ready to head to the party.

Painting "Son of Man"

This is a famous painting of a man in a suit and a black bowler hat with an apple hanging in front of his face. To create the look you need a formal suit with a tie, a hat and a green apple. It must be carefully attached with a wire in front of the face.

Freddy Krueger

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Hello everyone present! Nastya Skorekeva is in touch and today we will learn some interesting ideas on how to make Halloween costumes with your own hands.

Halloween is very soon - on the night of October 31st to November 1st. And many people celebrate it with all their might (this is especially true for English lessons and youth parties). Both need bright and original ideas for unforgettable images

Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to buy a cool suit in a store. Still, the price tags for the holiday attributes there leave much to be desired. In addition, there is a high probability that you will need the suit once, and then it will gather dust in the closet like a wedding dress (for which, by the way, this is quite appropriate: a turning point in life, after all) .

Today I will show you options that can easily be done at home and at the same time later use the created outfits for other purposes.

There are ideas for both boys and girls.

TOP of the best DIY Halloween costumes in 2019-2020 for girls with photos

We'll start with women's Halloween costumes, since they love to dress up much more than guys. There will be both classic and very extravagant outfits.

Nurse

Cool Halloween outfit idea on a budget. All you need is a nurse's uniform (you can purchase it both in specialized stores and in stores that rent and sell holiday costumes). A cap, an abundance of syringes and fake blood will complete the image.

Maybe you want to take a swing at the image of the nurse from Silent Hill? This will be a little more difficult than the previous option.

For a doctor's assistant, you will need to wrap your face with a lot of bandages soaked in tea leaves.

In detail, the components of the image look like this: a simple nurse’s uniform, a lot of bandages and tea bags and fake blood (sold in specialized stores). Soak the suit with bandages in tea leaves and add a little fake blood. Cover your face with bandages, leaving holes for breathing and vision.

A dead bride

The now popular corpse bride costume will be more difficult to create, but it is quite possible to make it at home. Stock up on blue makeup, tinted shampoo or a wig and an outfit reminiscent of a wedding dress. Its edges will need to be processed accordingly. Artificial flowers will complement the look.

Want to break away from Burton's heroine? Then a beautiful evening dress and an abundance of makeup will help you out, creating the impression of a tired, beaten and very scary face.

Doll

A very simple and original costume that can be implemented very inexpensively. You just need to take a simple cut dress, white knee socks and apply makeup that simulates fatigue and soreness. An abundance of bows, toys and long eyelashes are welcome. The look for the party is ready!

A vampire

When wearing a vampire (or vampire) costume, the main thing is to follow the “dress code”: a large number of black clothes, a mask, gothic jewelry and provocative makeup. For Dracula, you can also make up your face with light shades. Small fake fangs and red lenses will also come in handy.

Nun

For a nun, take a simple festive dress (you can even buy it for such an occasion). Accessorize it with a white homemade collar and headpiece. The latter can be made from a white border of fabric and a long piece of black fabric sewn to it. An unusual look is more suitable for adults.

Death

Absolute freedom for creativity! Don't forget to wear matching jewelry, like the one below. This alone will make you the queen of the holiday, even if there is no costume specially made for this occasion.

Harley Quinn

Take a closer look at the components of a cool Harley costume worn on Halloween. Much of this can be made yourself or purchased in specialized stores.

If you simplify the image of the heroine, then you can get by with black leggings and ankle boots and generally use stylization.

Fairy

Let's not forget about the cute costumes. This outfit can be made from scrap materials. For example, if you stock up on artificial ivy, you can use ordinary sandals to make beautiful, unusual shoes for a forest dweller.

For a suit, take a long piece of transparent fabric, a base (thick cord) and a lining underneath (a thin blouse). Lay a cord along the neck of the blouse and tie many strips of fabric next to each other, pressing them tightly together. Don't forget about the wings and the magic wand.

Fallen Angel

What is the main element of an angel? That's right, wings. These are the ones we will create today.

Prepare feathers, thick cardboard, a glue gun, white paint, a wide satin ribbon, newspapers, scissors and a brush.

All you need to do is draw and cut out a suitable blank from cardboard (it should consist of two parts). Then glue some newspaper on top to make the wings more natural.

Once both pieces are finished, glue them together and wrap with tape. From the ribbon, make fastenings that can be tied (the master class with photos also shows the possible arrangement of the ribbons).

These wings can be worn with any white dress, and it will become a full-fledged angel costume.

Witch

For the witch you will need a couple of old t-shirts, scissors, thread, a small plastic cone, black felt and assorted decorative items as desired.

Cut the black T-shirt according to the photo. But from green in combination with black, sew a decorative strip, make cuts on it.

Sew the center wedge back. Trim the sleeves and make numerous cuts on them. Sew the updated sleeves to the old T-shirt. Decorate with ties. All!

For the hat, cut a felt circle with a hole in the center. Then make a cone (roll part of the circle) and attach it on top. Decorate as desired.

By the way, an original and unexpected accessory would go well with this look. For example, an unusual mask. Among all the witches, you will definitely be the most unusual with her.

A more playful and lighter option can be created using cardboard and corrugated paper. Use a headband or hair clips as a base.

Maleficent

The true story of this unfortunate fairy touched many. And the image invented by the authors inspires one to transform into this heroine.

Clownness

A flirty look for real ladies.

Little Red Riding Hood

A light dress and a couple of discreet accessories are all you need.

Cartoon or anime heroine

Black Catwoman

The most labor intensive costume, but it's worth it

So, what will you need?

For ears:

• faux fur of primary color;
• fleece for the inside of the ears (preferably pink, white or black);
• a piece of long-haired fur;
• wire with a diameter of 3 mm for the frame (you can use any wire, as long as it holds its shape);
• threads;
• hair clips (it is better to choose ones that are as similar as possible to the color of your hair);
• wire cutters.

For the collar:

• leatherette (artificial leather);
• decorative elastic band (see photo);
• rhinestones (several dozen, depending on the circumference of your neck).

For paws:

• artificial fur;
• fleece for pillows;
• lining fabric for the back of the paws (you can also use fleece);
• linen elastic;
• safety pin.

For the ponytail:

• faux fur (width should be equal to the expected length of the tail);
• satin ribbon;
• decorative metal ring (or wire for such a ring);
• bell;
• brooch holder (sold in fabric stores, see photo).

Additional materials:

• padding polyester;
• bells;
• metal rings (they can be created from wire);
• scissors;
• paper for patterns;
• pencil;
• glue "Moment".

Ears

1. Copy the ear patterns. The height should be approximately 7-9 cm.
2. Now transfer the pattern in two mirror copies onto the faux fur and onto the fleece. Don't forget about seam allowances (about 0.5 - 1 cm)! Baste and then sew the ears using a sewing machine or by hand.
3. Take the wire and attach it to the eye, cut it, focusing on the resulting length with a small margin, and wrap the remaining tip around the other. You will need about 40 - 45 cm.
4. Turn the ears outward and insert the wire frame inside. Sew the edge with a blind stitch, folding the edges inward. Give the ears the desired shape.
5. Sew a piece of long-haired fur on the inside as in the picture. Place a small amount of instant glue in the middle of the edges of the hairpins and quickly press them to the middle of the ears.

Collar

1. Measure your neck circumference. From artificial leather, cut 2 pieces of size (2.5 cm x neck circumference in centimeters), and cut the same amount from decorative elastic. You don't have to use an elastic band.
2. Cut two pieces of satin ribbon about 15 cm long, burn the edges so that they do not fray. Coat the elastic band and the edges of the tape well with glue on both sides and place it between two pieces of leatherette. Glue the rhinestones.

Paws

1. Print out the patterns. I used crimson lines on the first pattern to mark the places where the pads would be sewn on. Transfer the templates to the fabric and cut them out, leaving 5 - 7 mm for an allowance.
2. At the bottom of the paws you need to leave 1.5 - 2 cm for bending and inserting the elastic! This applies to both main parts and lining parts. After the parts are cut out, baste and then sew together two parts of the outer, fur layer, and the back, fleece layer for each foot.
3. Now turn the backing layer for each foot inside out and put it on the main parts that have not yet been turned out and sew the edge with an overcast stitch by hand or with a zigzag on a sewing machine.
4. Without turning the entire workpiece inside out, sweep the edge of the legs to prevent fraying. Fold the edges of the legs as shown in the picture and sew at a distance of 5 mm from the border. Make a small cut in one place on the side to insert an elastic band.
5. Cut the elastic bands so that your wrist is comfortable + a small margin for stitching.
6. Pass a pin through the cut piece of elastic and pull it through the hole left until the pin appears at the opposite end. Pull out the pin and sew the ends of the elastic together.
7. Turn it inside out. Let's start with the pads: sew all the pads along the edge with a forward-needle stitch, and then pull them a little and stuff them with padding polyester. Secure them a little with a few stitches.
8. Tighten the largest pad with a thread in two places. Sew the pads to the paws using a blind stitch so as not to catch the inner lining layer. All)

Tail

I made the tail length about 80 cm, but it can be shorter.

I don’t recommend making the tail too long, because turning it out will be a complete pain. To achieve the desired length, simply extend the pattern by continuing straight lines.

1. Cut out the tail as shown below. (The side without a seam is the fold line.) Leave allowances.
2. Now sew by folding it in half and leaving an opening for turning it inside out. Now slowly turn it inside out while stuffing the workpiece. Sew the opening closed or overcast.
3. All that remains is to sew on the brooch mount and decorate the tail with a bow made from a ribbon with a bell (optional).

Other cats

An unusual idea would be a Maneki Neko or cat thief costume. Try on the image of a Cheshire cat.

For pregnant

Nevertheless, this wonderful female state imposes some difficulties when choosing a suit. On the other hand, you can pay attention to more daring and extravagant options.

Couples Halloween Costumes

For a couple (or even for a whole family), creating costumes with your own hands is much more interesting, because you can create a very unusual composition. For example, a family of bees.

Lightning and its victim.

Dracula and his vampire.

And a couple of robbers are generally beyond all praise.

Well, everyone’s favorite clowns after the acclaimed film “It”.

Men's suits for the holiday

For men, aesthetics are not as important as instilling fear in the public. This is where we will start from.

Zombie

The main element for zombies is definitely makeup. For this you will need a pack of face paints, black matte eye shadow and a marker.

See the photo for the process of creating a scary image.

This makeup is suitable for a skeleton, a zombie, and a vampire. For zombies, I would also recommend applying a lot of bruises with red lip gloss.

Mummy

Surely everyone knows the classic version of a mummy with toilet paper wrapping. But you must admit, such a very short-lived option can easily ruin the whole event, even if there is no rain (what if you knock the glass over yourself?))

To create a more durable costume you will need: white fabric (bandages are possible), a few safety pins and some black (or gray) dry pastels and hairspray.

The creation process is brilliantly simple:

1. Cut the fabric into long strips about 8-12 cm wide and the length you need.
2. Remember carefully and rub the material in your hands; if the fabric is loose, then pay special attention to the edge.
3. In some places of the bandages or fabric, rub thoroughly with fine dry pastel. This is necessary for the aged effect of the bandages.
4. Spray thoroughly with varnish so that the pastel does not rub off.
5. Wrap the fabric in the right places and pin it together so it doesn’t fall off.

To complete the effect, you can also apply makeup, but more about this in the paragraph about zombies.

Skeleton

For this you will need black clothes. It could be a dress, dark jeans with a T-shirt, or just long black pajamas.

Let's consider two creation options:

Option 1: In addition to clothes, prepare bone patterns (you can draw them yourself), a pencil and acrylic paints.

Option 2: Again, you need patterns and a pencil. But instead of paints, prepare a few pieces of white felt (you can buy it at any fabric store). Also don't forget to take scissors and white thread.

The Evening of Saints is celebrated on October 31st. This holiday is known as Halloween. The main tradition is dressing up in scary costumes to scare away evil spirits on this night. More recently, people in our country began to celebrate this date. But they take responsibility when choosing an outfit. You can buy a suit in a store, but it is not cheap. More often than not, Russians buy an outfit for this holiday, but they do it. Let's learn how to make your own Halloween costume.

Witch

For such an image you will need clothes of the same color scheme. These are dark colors. Tousled hair and provocative makeup are the main attributes of a self-respecting witch. If you haven’t found a dress, then a piece of fabric that you tie around your body will do. It all depends on your imagination. Be sure to highlight your waist with a belt or ribbon. The look will be complemented by jewelry with symbols, long black nails, high heels, as well as a cone hat and, of course, a broom.

Here are options for a witch costume that you can recreate yourself:

A vampire

First you need to decide whether you want to look like the cute vampire from Twilight or if you want to cause horror like the critters from Buffy. For the first option, any clothing is suitable. All attention will be focused on the makeup. The skin must be pale. Teeth with fangs can be bought in the store. Or do it yourself.

If you manage to purchase red lenses, the image will be even more impressive. Well, for plausibility, so that no one doubts that you are a vampire, a small stream of blood from your mouth, painted with paint.

A more horrific version would require disheveled clothing, disheveled hair, and more blood. The main thing is the makeup you do. More wrinkles in dark pale tones. This look will be decorated with various little things, for example, a heart and bags of artificial blood.

Don't forget to also draw two bite wounds on your neck, otherwise how will people understand why you became a vampire.

The older the vampire, the stronger he is, which means the older the costume should be.

Dracula

This is no ordinary vampire. Therefore, the suit should not be the same as the others. As you know, Count Dracula was from an aristocratic family, which means his clothes should be similar to those worn in those days. Don't forget about styled hair and expensive jewelry and, of course, a piercing gaze.

Here's how other people embodied this image:

Mummy

Probably the most budget option. We wrap ourselves in a bandage or toilet paper and that’s it. The main thing is not to tighten the bandage too much, as you can disrupt blood circulation in the body. Toilet paper won't last long. So it's better to go to the pharmacy to get your suit. By soaking bandages in tea for a few minutes you can achieve a worn and antique effect. But this should not be done if you have allergies, as the tea will quickly absorb into the skin and can cause irritation. Egyptian jewelry will help complement the look.

Here are some ideas:

Pirate

Everyone remembers the wonderful Jack Sparrow, that is, Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp got into character. The film's costume designers did a great job creating the image of the pirate.

But to put together the same image you need to try hard and spend a lot of money. If you decide to be a pirate, embody your image in a different, less expensive way. After all, the main attributes are bandanas, Jolly Roger, vest, boots, spyglass, compass and weapons.

A wonderful addition would be a parrot or monkey on the shoulder, as well as an eye patch.

Here are the ideas already brought to life:

Skeleton

There are many ways to create this costume. Only black and white remains unchanged.

You will need black clothes that you don’t mind ruining and white paint. Draw a skeleton on the clothes, let it dry and you're done.

For durability, instead of paint, white stripes are sewn onto black clothes.

Achieve a skeleton effect using overlay. To do this, we wear a white T-shirt underneath and a black one on top, with holes cut out. This is what the costume looks like:

Body art has become fashionable when it is painted on the body. Looks believable. But this method of recreating the skeleton will not work unless you have a drawing friend who will paint the back.

Don't forget to paint over the skull-shaped face. This is the main feature of the image.

Doll

Remember your favorite doll and embody this image. Fluffy skirt, pink color, stockings, shoes, bows and braids.

But do not forget that according to legend, on Halloween, dark forces, demons and devils come out onto the earth and people dress up so as not to be recognized. Therefore, spectacular makeup will go well with the doll’s cute costume.

For children

On this day, children dress no less intimidatingly than adults. But do not forget to take care of the child’s psyche. But, as experience shows, the current generation is no longer so interested in princess costumes and cute lobes.

After watching enough TV and playing video games, teenagers choose images of zombies, vampires, and maniacs. And parents rarely deny them this.

A selection of interesting Halloween costumes

Remember! Even if you're wearing your best suit, stick to the look. Don't forget about the character's behavior and character.
