Produce A Witch Costume

Are you the Wicked Witch of the West or Glinda the Good Witch? Watch "The Wizard of Oz" and determine your witch personality. When you make a decision, read on and follow these simple steps to create your own costume.


Instructions


1. Create your headgear from cardboard and paper, or get a pointy witch hat from a costume shop or toy store. Good witches can wear tiaras or birthday princess hats made of paper. You can make one from cardboard and silver glitter and glue.


2. Streak your hair with gray temporary color, or use powder. Good witches can use pink or glitter.


3. Make a witch nose (see Related eHows). Good witches may choose long false eyelashes, blush spots, pink lipstick and face glitter.


4. Black out a tooth or two using special cosmetics from the costume shop. Good witches need all their teeth.


5. Use a black eyeliner pencil and make big black moles for a scary, wicked face.


6. Wear layers of musty, black clothes. Skirts over skirts over petticoats look witchy; recycle old stuff, or ravage the thrift shops.


7. Choose holey sweaters, rusty silks and weird garments. Good witches will choose pretty, sparkly dresses and flouncy skirts over net petticoats.


8. Create a witchy cape with fabric pinned at the neck. A skirt cut up the middle makes a great cape. Perhaps add a cardboard collar. Good witches have capes too, just not black ones.


9. Wear black shoes and striped or red tights.


10. Carry a broom of course, or leave it home and carry a decorated pillowcase for candy. Draw bats, rats and newts on it. Good witches can carry fairy wands and shopping bags or pillowcases decorated with birds, flowers and rainbows.
