Halloween Costume: Paper

This is another tutorial for an inanimate object. Inanimate objects are fun and unique ideas for costumes. This tutorial explains how to be a piece of paper/notebook for Halloween.

Costume:

I was inspired to do this costume from this shirt I found here. You can pair a shirt like this with jeans or leggings. Sneakers would be a good shoe to wear with this look. I've also seen this design in a dress if you can find one.  

Accessories:

Consider carrying a notebook around with you as an accessory. You can also buy a jumbo pencil to carry, such as this this one:



If you don't mind your shirt getting ruined, you can bring around sharpies and ask people to write on you.

Makeup:

For the makeup, you could use a white eye shadow eye look to match the paper. You could also use matching blue and pink eye shadow that matches the lines of notebook paper:

Halloween Costume: Leopard

Animal costumes are a great Halloween costume. This tutorial is for a leopard costume. I think leopard costumes are pretty easy to do because you can find leopard print items everywhere. You can also change this costume to represent another animal, such as a zebra.

Costume:

For the costume, use a leopard print dress you have or find a new one such as this one from Overstock: 

If you don't have a dress, you can also pair a leopard print top with leopard print leggings or black pants.

Accessories:

You can add leopard print ears and a tail to this costume. You can buy ears and a tail or make them yourself. To make ears, take a headband and cover it in fabric. Use construction paper to make ear shapes. Cover these in fabric and use glue or wire to attach it to the headband.



If you have a leopard print purse or other leopard print items, consider bringing them as part of your costume. Any leopard print items work great as accessories.

Makeup:

Leopard print makeup can be a lot of fun to do. Here's an intense leopard makeup tutorial:



If you don't want to go full out, you can always just do leopard print eyes and draw on a nose and whiskers in black.
