What is the most creative Halloween costume you’ve ever seen or worn yourself?
Last year, our youngest wanted to be a Black Widow Spider. She wore a black sweat suit (with several layers of warmer clothes underneath.)
It was a lot of work, but we had fun making the costume. (zisixi, my sister and I all worked on it.)
Directions:
1. Sew black feather boas onto the arms and legs of the sweat suit to make them look hairy.
2. Cut the legs off of two pairs of black nylons, stuff them with batting, and sew boas onto each “leg.”
3. Sew two legs under arms on each side of sweatshirt.
4. Use fishing line to attach bottom “leg” on sweatshirt to the arm of the sweatshirt.
5. Cut a shiny piece of red fabric in an hourglass shape. Attach to sweatshirt.Mask
1. Cut 4 ping pong balls in half, and paint black.
2. Attach ping pong balls above eyes on the face mask.
3. Cut a styrofoam ring in 1/4s. Attach 2 of the 1/4s under the mouth to make the chalicerae (fangs.)
4. Put black makeup around eyes.I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

They were actually Styrofoam golf balls cut in half and spray painted with glittery black so they sparkled in the night just like her eyes really do.
Awesome!
