Costume Skeletons

Costume skeletons are great idea for a boy or girl’s Halloween costume.



This is very exciting and easy costume that the kids can make and have fun trick or treating in. All the materials required to make a new skeleton costume are black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, white fabric paint, white puff fabric paint, white chalk, white face paint, black face paint, paint brush and glow in the dark paint or stickers.



To make good skeleton costumes, you first need to wash your black sweat shirt and black sweat pants. Sweatshirts and sweat pants tend to shrink in the wash and so after washing fabric paints adheres well to the fabric. Lay your clothing on to a flat surface and use a chalk or a white marker to draw outline of skeleton bones. Use your shirt to draw ribcage, arm bones and spinal cord and use pants to outline leg bones and pelvic bones. After outlining, fill in your skeleton bones with white fabric paints and cover the black. Then, make a final outlining with your white puff paint to have a clean effect and provide a three dimensional quality to the costume. This makes a good scary costume.



Once your skeleton costume is done and the paint gets dried, add some glow to it using glow paints or glow stickers that shine in the dark. This will help them to be clearly visible in the dark. These fun costumes are a great way to add excitement to trick and treating.
