what you'll need

  1. start by measuring your head, and order a top hat accordingly
  2. buy some red yarn and start measuring, then cut a lot of single strained pieces out,
    you'll need to have enough so that you can tie a knot and the rest goes down past your shoulders
  3. start glueing the cat skull to the hat.( here you can tie a string true the skulls to make it seem like
    the are being held in place by the string)
  4. put in the pheasant feathers
  5. to make the hat even taller then it already is I took some very strait sticks a paintet them black and white striped
  6. concrats you just made the hat

The Staff

120030488_346272823455384_4459192950298768497_n.jpg

what you'll nedd

  • a large strait branch or rod( i went into the forest and cut down a peice of young hazel wood)
  • a large plastic skull
  • 2 dream catches
  • some rope
  • black fabric
  • not necessary (a plasic bone hand)
  1. find either a large strait branch or metel rod.
  2. cover the branch/rod in black tekstile
  3. drill a hole into the bottom of the plasic skull, big enough so the branch/rod can go through until it hits the inner top of the skull, the glue it shut.
  4. glue or drill the dream cathers into the staff
  5. glue some decorative rope on so there is more to look at
  6. i had a plastic skeleton hand left over from last halloween so i cut the fingers of and drilled holes in the staff and glued the fingers into the holes

and now the staff is done

i am so lucky that my neighbor is a make up artist so she was so kind to help me if agreed to act as model for her facebook so i cant tell you mutch about the process.

i suggests that you practice putting on the makeup a few times if you are not that practiced in the field of make-up, i left some links that seme helpfull on the process of putting on the make up

just beware that when it comes time to put in the contact lenses your eyes will most likely start to tear up and some tears will start to run down over your make up so maybe put them on before the make up is put on or just be ready to fix what ever damage may occur


the pros

Congratulations You Just Made an Awesome Witch Doctor Costume
