I'm considering being curvy blond ponytail lady, and he's thinking of being freckle-faced red hat boy with the crazy forehead marks (just because they seem perhaps the most iconic).

How would you make simple homemade costumes for these?

Answer 1

The most difficult part would be making the heads.



You have several several options:

- making it with paper mache (you'd use a balloon as a base)

- styrofoam carving

- making a base with a chicken wire and then... again paper mache or foam

For these particular costumes what you selected, I think you need to make fake round heads... If you just paint eyes/faces - you may have to explain people what your costumes are :)

Answer 5

I think blonde hair is sexiest, but brown hair can end up being really sexy too. Black hair will be never sexy. It's just really dull and boring and flatters few constitution. Blonde hair looks best with glowing blue eyes.

I'd go about asking the local marts for any styrofoam they may be able to spare!
