On the eve of All Saints' Day, or Halloween, it's time to think about choosing the right costume.

If you prefer bright and colorful images filled with mysticism and mystery, a witch outfit will suit you. This classic character has long been a frequenter of fashionable masquerade parties, carnivals and youth parties.

And the image of a fairy-tale witch, enchanting and funny, was especially fond of children and teenagers.

So let's get started?

Step 1. Choose the right type of image!

Before you start sorting through your wardrobe in search of a “witchy” outfit, you need to consider the type of your character, the details of his appearance and costume.

Which image of a witch you should choose depends on your imagination and preferences. The most popular options are:

• Elegant dark sorceress;
• old witch;
• Sweet witch;
• Fairy witch.

Each type of this image has its own characteristics.

How exactly they differ and how to create the basis for them, we will describe further.

Elegant dark sorceress

This look is perfect for those who prefer sophisticated outfits. A seductive witch can wear a beautiful tight-fitting dress (preferably evening) or a short skirt and a corset. A deep neckline in a suit is especially welcome.

And high-heeled shoes or boots will serve as a kind of addition.

The prototypes for your image can be characters from famous movies: Maleficent, Dark Shadows, Wii, Snow White and the Huntsman (on the first photo), American Horror Story: Sabbat or Snow White and the Huntsman, Dark shadows", "Salem".

You can see them in the photo below.

Effective, right? Such an image will be the brightest and most eye-catching at any costume party.

old sorceress

If you are already reincarnated, then thoroughly.

If these words are about you, then choose the image of a terrible old witch.

Such a character will remind everyone of the well-known Baba Yaga, with her unkempt shaggy hair, hooked nose and dark lean skin.

In addition to the classic appearance of the Russian Yaga, you can opt for its foreign version: an old sorceress with bright green skin, a hooked nose and warts on the skin.

The outfit of such a witch does not at all resemble clothes from an expensive boutique - on the contrary, for the costume you will fit the oldest and most unusable dress (or robe), which can be specially cut or ruffled to heighten the effect.

cute little witch

Not all witches are evil. Among them there are also kind, funny characters.

Let's remember, for example, Sabrina from the series of the same name or the heroine Cassie Nightingale from the series The Good Witch. Such witches are more reminiscent of people than evil spirits, but a certain mystical charm and element of mystery is not alien to their image.

The advantage of the costume of such a sorceress is that it does not require a lot of makeup, although to spice it up appearance you can use artsy body art on the face or false eyelashes with rhinestones.

fairytale witch

This image descended from the pages of well-known fairy tales.

A typical witch in a long mesh skirt, with a broom and an old scarf on her head, tied with a bow in the style of Solokha from the famous Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka.

However, you can modernize this image by making it look like fantasy world characters - fairies and elves.

The costume of such an enchanting witch will suit both children and adults. It may consist of a long dress, a beautiful tiara and a cloak.

And to make the sorceress even more like a fairy, you can attach wings to your back (you can make them from wire and colored mesh or light fabric).

Step 2. Make a spectacular witch makeup

To create a bright image of a good sorceress or an evil sorceress, you need to find the most colorful cosmetics in your arsenal (perhaps even the most unusual colors for you). Makeup should cover not only the face, but also open areas of the body - neck, décolleté, hands.

Consider the traditional version of the "witch" make-up:

• First, we will prepare the skin of the face.
  Apply cream as a base.
• Usually witches are rather pale.
  Therefore, we will apply white powder or light foundation on the face, evenly distributing it over the skin.
• For the eyes, you can use combinations of black, blue and silver, summing up the contours of the eyes with elaborate ornate lines.
  The step-by-step application of such smoky eye makeup is shown in the figure.



• Another option for eye makeup is long black arrows and bright pink shadows.
  How to apply makeup correctly, you can see in the next video.
• If you are a fan of face art, you can draw abstract patterns, luxurious ornaments, images of plants or wings on your face (here you can give free rein to your imagination).



• Eyelashes and eyebrows need to be made up as brightly as possible, because the image of a witch cannot be imagined without an expressive look.
• If you like pallor, blush can be omitted.
• Eyes and temples can be decorated with stylized patterns of cobwebs and even decorative spiders. We offer options for makeup ideas with cobwebs in the photo below.



• Ready?
  Now the final touch - paint the lips. To do this, you need dark lipstick in rich colors - red, burgundy, black or brown.

If you want to apply not makeup, but makeup, the following video will be useful to you. It shows how you can visually change the shape of the face, its features, creating the image of an evil sorceress.

Children's witch makeup is created in a similar way: after applying the foundation, the face is painted in the desired color using blush, powder or foundation.

Since the skin of children is delicate, its reaction to cosmetics should be checked (for this, a cosmetic product is applied to the skin of the child's hands).

You can also use special children's hypoallergenic cosmetics.

One of the makeup options for the image of a witch for a girl with elements of body art is shown in the pictures:

For an older girl, you can make a simple elegant make-up with a light haze effect, shading the cheeks and highlighting the eyes.

One of the most spectacular images for a party is considered a cat. We will tell you how to choose a costume and create an original one.
And if your partner has chosen a brutal image of Dracula, we will tell you about the costume and apply makeup yourself.

Step 3 Witch Hair

There may be several hair styling options to create the image of a dark sorceress. For most of them, you will need to let your hair down and make it lush.

A slight carelessness of the hairstyle is even welcome.

However, if you have chosen the image of an elegant witch, you need to style your hair neatly and stylishly. They can be straightened, giving the strands perfect evenness, or twisted curls, adding splendor to the hairstyle.

You can also make an Elvira-style bouffant (a kind of "hello" from the eighties).

It is ideal for medium length hair and those who have bangs. (pictured left)

The hairstyle of a fashionable witch can be supplemented with colored or gray (pictured right) strands. To do this, you can use special artificial curls or spray paint for temporary hair coloring.

Don't be afraid to experiment with your hairstyle! Try to make a real "witch" styling with an asymmetric effect, using the strongest hold varnish.

Another hairstyle option is the popular Crow's Nest. For such styling, you need to twist the strands in the form of a nest and secure them with 10 invisible ones.

Step 4. Doing a Halloween Manicure

When creating the image of a witch, you need to pay attention to details, in particular, manicure. There may be several options:

1. Monochromatic coloring of nails (in black, red, burgundy, brown, purple).
2. Elements of simple ornaments.
3. Special stickers for nails.
4. Professional manicure with a pattern.
5. Overhead tips.

For a manicure it is better to choose bright varnishes and colors of drawings for nails, because the outrageousness of your image will depend on this detail.

STEP 5. Where can I get a witch costume for Halloween?

The witch's outfit consists of several traditional elements that are integral attributes of any sorceress.

So, the wardrobe of the dark sorceress includes the following:

• Hat. Its classic version is a tall cone in black, green or purple with wide margins. You can make it from thick cardboard and fabric, and decorate it with various buckles, straps, stars, nets, cobwebs, toy spiders or bats.



• Skirt. A dark skirt is a classic version of a witch's outfit. An elegant look will look great with a sophisticated long skirt, a more relaxed look with a short one, and a fabulous look with a mesh baggy skirt resembling rags.



• Cape or cloak. This element of the costume can be added at will. You can make it from a light glossy fabric or mesh, and decorate it in the same way as a hat.



• Fishnet tights. For elegant sorceresses and cute witches, they are perfect.



• Belt with buckle. Large plaques on the belts will make the witch's outfit especially expressive, as well as create the effect of antiquity.
• Corset. If you decide to wear a skirt, by all means pick up a corset for it - it will perfectly emphasize the figure and make it slim.



• Shoes. As a rule, witches wear long boots with high heels or black boots. One of the shoe options is black shoes with wrapped toes (they can be made from old shoes by attaching a tip of the desired length to their socks and pasting it over using papier-mâché technique).

Children's costumes can be made from similar elements. They will have one distinctive feature - the color scheme. For a girl, colorful outfits are perfect, which you can decorate with flowers and bows.

Step 6 - Finally, choose the accessories

Finishing the preparations for the Halloween party, let's pay attention to the accessories for the image of the witch.

It can be:

• unusual handbags a la Shapoklyak;
• brooms;
• magic wands with stars at the ends;
• toy spiders;
• lizards, snakes or bats;
• ribbons, silk bows;
• vintage pendants, large earrings;
• talismans, tarot cards and other attributes of a true witch.

Follow the tips above and your witch outfit will be second to none at any costume party!

Choosing the image of a witch for girls

Classics are always out of competition. Do not like experiments, stick to proven solutions? Choose an ordinary witch costume in the best traditions of this image. Necessarily this is a black long dress, a mantle or a long cape, a broom and a hat. You won’t be surprised by such a witch, but it will definitely attract attention.

1. If on Halloween you are determined to try on an image scary witch like Baba Yaga from a fairy tale, then you will have to forget about beautiful makeup and black lace. Everything should be as natural as possible: gray hair, rags, a hooked nose and warts, a predatory evil look and a broom.
2. Image evil witch from a fairy tale, create from old clothes from the "grandmother's chest". A long skirt, a vest and a knitted jacket, moth-eaten in places, will do. If this is a forest witch, add some "forest" accessories, for example, dry branches, berries, leaves.

Props are sold in thematic stores, it is easy to make some elements with your own hands.

You can also surprise the audience on Halloween in the form of a zombie witch, a witch who miraculously escaped from the scaffold, where they were going to hang her or burn her at the stake, seductive witches, etc. Choose what is closer to you and act!

What is included in the witch costume: base and accessories

To make a beautiful and unusual witch costume with your own hands, you need to know which parts you have to work on. Regardless of the image, the outfit is built on 4 components:

• top;
• mantle;
• hat.

The corset and skirt for the outfit can be combined into a dress. The details of the costume will look equally impressive separately. Instructions for the manufacture of individual elements of the costume are below.

how to make a hat easy

Witch hats are different. Classics of the genre - pointed with a large buckle in the middle. This is easy to make yourself from cardboard or thick and easy-to-use felt. The second option is more practical and convenient for decoration with various decorations.

Master class on making a cardboard hat:

1. From a sheet of white cardboard, cut out a circle with a hole in the center. Do I need to say that the diameter is equal to the girth of the head?
2. Transfer the circle to a sheet of brown cardboard. Cut along the contours without affecting the hole.
3. Make triangular cuts along the diameter of the hole, bend. Notches are needed to fix the cone.
4. Cut out a cone from brown cardboard so that the diameter of its base coincides with the inner circumference of the fields.
5. Fix the cone on the prepared triangles with glue.

That's all! The witch's hat is ready. It remains to decorate it. Use dark-colored satin ribbons, as well as decorative elements of your choice: rhinestones, fake cobwebs, mesh, lace, spiders and plastic mice. Another variation:

Hats can be any size. If this is a children's costume, then the hat can be made quite tiny in the form of a hairpin or rim. Hats with a high peaked top look spectacular on adult girls.

You can replace the hat with unusual and stylish accessories, especially suitable for the image of a modern witch. Hoops with bats on a wire look great. And yes, they are easy to make. Cut out mouse silhouettes from black cardboard or felt. Attach the mice to the wire and then to the hoop. The length of the wire rods should be different to give the impression of a natural flutter of mice over the head of the witch.

How to make the top of the dress

The corset beautifully emphasizes the curves of the female body, lifts the chest, makes the waist thin and graceful. Girls do not need such an element of clothing, but for ladies who are important to remain attractive and desirable even in a black witch costume, a coreset will be very useful for a holiday.

You can sew a corset with your own hands (you need some skills and experience), remake a finished one or replace it with a slimming bodysuit or a black swimsuit. Rhinestones, beads, foil stars, attributes of the "dark world", such as a black cat or a raven (use suitable children's toys) are suitable for decorating the top. There are a lot of options, dream up and portray something special!

Witch's skirt: what can it be

The floor-length skirt looks more spectacular, and it looks equally great both narrow with cuts and lush. Maxi can be substituted for mini if ​​desired. The main thing is that it should be a dark-colored skirt made of fabric suitable for the suit.

The easiest option is to make a skirt with your own hands from a piece of black fabric. Just cut out a rectangle twice as wide as the hips in girth, gather it into folds, fasten it with threads and tie it around your belt with a wide ribbon. That's all, a spectacular Halloween witch skirt is ready!

By the same principle, you can make a skirt for a child. Remember that a witch for a child can be creepy in moderation, rather, the finished image should turn out to be cute and a little funny. That is why the children's version of the skirt is best made from tulle. Buy different colors of tulle and tie it in strips on a wide ribbon for a belt. You will get a beautiful funny skirt, from which you can build on, complementing the costume with accessories.

Cape or mantle for a witch

This element of clothing is also quite easy to make. Any materials that can be found at home will do. The ideal cape is velvet or satin, but even tulle or organza will do.

Cut out a rectangle, gather it at the top with a lace, as you did with a skirt, and the cape is ready. This is the easiest option, there are others. For example, the web mantle. Make it from an unnecessary black thing: an old scarf, raincoat, T-shirt, skirt, etc. The size of the future web will depend on the length of the material. Remember how you cut out snowflakes from paper as a child. The web mantle is made according to the same principle:

1. Fold the material in half twice.
2. Make a pattern from the edge of the fold.
3. Measure the circumference of your head and divide this number by 2.
4. Add 2 cm to the resulting number and put a mark on the fabric (set aside from the edge).
5. Make a similar mark on the other side.
6. Connect the labels in a semicircle.
7. Mark the length of the cape in a horizontal plane from the starting point of the folded edge.
8. Ideally, the mantle along the length of the arms should be about 70 cm in each direction.
9. From the cutout point of the hole for the head, start measuring.
10. Cut out a semicircle.

If everything was done correctly, the result should be a pattern similar to a sun skirt. You can initially use it as a layout, replacing the waist circumference with the head circumference.

If you wish, sew a hood to the mantle. To do this, prepare two semicircles. Sew them into the cape in a straight line along the entire neck line.

Next is the most interesting - the web. With a piece of chalk or a piece of soap on the fabric, draw vertical stripes in the direction from the neck to the bottom. They are needed to keep the proportions. Give the bottom a curly shape. Draw the cobweb with chalk, for the symmetry of the pattern, cut it out along the fold of the fabric. Line the robe with contrasting fabric as desired.

Quick witch costume in a hurry

When there is absolutely no time for sewing and other manipulations to create an original witch costume for a holiday, the main thing is not to abandon the idea, but to go the simpler way. Make a light suit to start with, which will take no more than 10 minutes, and then, as far as possible, improve it with accessories.

So, for a quick and easy witch costume, you will need any black clothing and decor. Choose gloomy clothes that you haven’t worn for a long time, you can grandmother from an old wardrobe in the country. Decor - various props on the topic, ranging from cobwebs to insects, mice, crows and other evil spirits.

Everything that you can find or manage to make from the decor, stick or sew to your black base. That's all, nothing more is needed. It remains only to arm yourself with the attributes of a witch: a broom from the yard or a semblance of a magic wand, an old umbrella or a cane and go ahead to scare the honest people!

Oh yes, and makeup here should be in the subject. Use theatrical makeup whenever possible, paint silicone wrinkles, cover your face with gray, white or even green paint. Glue on long lashes, insert frightening red or white lenses, highlight lips brightly.

Don't forget your manicure and hair. The witch's nails, if the hands are not gloved, should be long, sharp, dark and intimidating. Hair, if this is not the image of a coquette witch and a fashionista, with gray hair, tousled, flowing long dirty strands with insects and moss lost in them.

Don't underestimate the power of accessories. When there is no time, desire and opportunity to “conjure” a costume for too long, they will become a real salvation. What this will be depends on the desired effect.

So, if the goal is the image of a fashionable and perky witch, for example, when you need a costume for a child, you should choose cool striped socks or stockings as mandatory accessories. They go great with a pointed hat and clogs with turned-up toes. These, too, can be made with your own hands from used shoes in just half an hour!

1. Just model a sharp "nose" on the shoes with masking tape, foil or plaster bandages.
2. Fix them on the surface of the shoe, cover with newspapers (toilet paper) and carefully primed with paint.
3. The final layer is colored paint and glitter, if you really want a layer of glue after the paint dries.

Be sure to share this article with useful tips with your friends!

15 chic costume options with photos and videos

Speaking of Witches, images of scary and angry old women with a wrinkled face and a huge warty nose immediately come to mind. But, few of the modern girls, choosing an image for Halloween, want to be just that.

Let's create the image of this fabulous Halloween heroine with our own hands, and what it will be is up to you.

Choosing a Witch outfit

The Halloween Witch costume can be anything and here you are only limited by your imagination.

Stylists, for example, advise choosing black outfits to create a gloomy image of the Villainess.

It can be a maxi dress with a torn bottom or a strapless corset in combination with a long or short skirt, and a short dress with a long train is also perfect for the Witch's outfit.

Do you want the style to be more original than black? Complete the dress with drops of blood and a rope around your neck, as if black magic managed to save you from execution.

Listening to the advice of stylists and choosing a gloomy black color, you can make it more spectacular and dilute it with rich purple or red fabric inserts.

Gothic Witch - not your option? Look for purples, reds, greens, or bright yellows. In such a suit you will be more noticeable and brighter.

If you want the Witch to be more sexy, choose outfits that are fitted with a plunging neckline, a high slit at the skirt, or super mini lengths.

The costume of the evil Sorceress can be made with your own hands from improvised means. Let's watch the video.

Not so long ago, a new and very memorable image of a young sorceress appeared, who alone was able to protect not only the fairy forest - her home, but also her soul from the house and destruction. This Witch was named Maleficent.

The role of the main character was brought to life by the incomparable Angelina Jolie. Maleficent was remembered by the audience not only for the breadth of her soul and fantastic scenery, but also for her unusual make-up, as well as voluminous horns on her head, which are very easy to make at home.

The image of Maleficent with your own hands is easy and quick to make if you know how to recreate the horns of Maleficent yourself. Watch the video tutorial.

Accessories will help make the Witch for Halloween more memorable and spectacular!

Choosing accessories for realism

What is the main thing in the outfit of the Witch? That's right - it's a hat! There is no hat and all your efforts will be in vain, because without a hat you will be anyone, but not this character that frightens the minds.

Witch hat

Caps are different - wide-brimmed and with small fields, complemented by a veil and without. When choosing this important accessory, do not forget about the type of your face.

If you have a round face with wide cheekbones, a narrow-brimmed hat will not work for you, it will only make it look bigger and rounder. An ideal option would be a pointed hat with a wide brim.

To soften the shape of the face, the Witch's hat can be worn deep on the head or on the side. The shape of the face is well corrected by the hair, it can be loose and fall on both sides, it can be combed to one side, or it can be gathered into two side ponytails, which also looks good. If you don't like bulky hats, opt for mini hats.

When experimenting, choose the option in which the cap will stay on your head tightly and will not fly off, because Halloween is a fun holiday, which means that the hat should remain on you both during dances and during funny pranks.

Witch Gloves

As an addition to the ensemble, you can use gloves. They come with open fingers and closed, long, medium and short, made of dense fabric or transparent, lace.

The main rule when choosing gloves is that open gloves of medium and short length made of transparent, lace fabric make the image lighter, playful and sexy, while closed and long gloves made of dense fabric give the image a more strict and serious look.

Pay attention to the length of the sleeve of the suit and the material from which the gloves are made. An important criterion for success is that gloves and a dress must match in texture and density of the fabric!

Witch stockings and tights

Preferring stockings or tights, choose the option that is more convenient. Stockings can let you down and, at the most crucial moment, just slip off your leg.

The ideal model is unusual tights with interesting additions in the form of patterns on the sides.

But, if you decide to opt for stockings, stockings with a sewn-in belt are ideal. They look like ordinary stockings, but a belt sewn in and not visible to anyone from the side will insure you against slipping. In this case, you do not have to worry and correct them all the time.

In the future, stockings with a belt, you can use both for everyday wear and for sexual games with a partner.

In addition to classic stockings and tights to complement the outfit of the evil Sorceress, you can use options with openwork weaving in the form of spider webs or skulls.

Sexuality in the image is also perfectly emphasized - a large mesh or a seam at the back.

Witch Shoes

It is best to complement the Witch's costume with high-heeled shoes. It can be shoes, boots or ankle boots.

The shorter the length of the skirt, the higher the length of the bootleg. Ideally, if it is black and patent leather shoes, suede models also look good.

Still, Halloween is a great holiday! After all, on this day you can forget about the seriousness and how to fool around. For example, pretend to be an evil spirit, because, according to legend, on All Saints Day, spirits roam among people, and if you look like one of them, they will not touch you. And what evil without a suitable outfit? Do not want extra hassle - buy it in the store. But how much nicer is a DIY Halloween costume!

How to make a vampire costume

Perhaps the most stylish representative of the undead is the vampire. Remember at least Count Dracula - a perfectly fitting suit, the perfect combination of colors, a fashionable cane. A real gentleman! So become the perfect friend for the count. The vampire outfit should be sexy enough, but not vulgar. An ordinary plain dress, black or other dark shades of arbitrary length, fishnet tights and red patent leather shoes will do. Another option is trousers and a white blouse with a stand-up collar. Decorate the collar with a retro-style brooch and the seductive vampire is ready!

However, the main detail for a do-it-yourself Halloween costume - a cloak - will have to be sewn by yourself. We choose a “shiny” synthetic fabric, you can satin. We need two rectangles about 3 by 1.5 m - black and red.

Vampire Cloak Pattern

Hood pattern

Below is the easiest way to sew:

1. We draw the fabric as shown in the figure (the radius of the neck is wide enough - 15 cm, so that it can be gathered). We cut off the excess - then we will make a hood from the remnants.
We bend the ends of the future cloak for the Halloween costume with our own hands, hem the red lining. It is more convenient to do this on a sewing machine.

2. Cut out the hood. The length is approximate (its “depth” depends on it), do not forget about seam allowances. There must be two identical parts. We sew along the upper and back sections, tuck the edges, sew on the lining. When you sew the hood to the raincoat, leave a place and make a drawstring - then you will thread the lace into it.

3. This DIY Halloween costume is very versatile. You don’t need to sew on a red lining - complete the image with a scary mask or skeleton makeup, black gloves and a scythe made of a long stick and a piece of cardboard, and here you are Lady Death! Pull the hood over your face, arm yourself with a shorter katana made from a stick - and now you are already a harsh executioner who has come from the other world to chop heads! And if you wrap yourself in a cloak, put on black boots with soles and make yourself a “blade” from the same cardboard, plywood or a painted piece of foam, you will become one of the Nazgûl - minions of darkness from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

How to make a mummy costume

The original Halloween costume with your own hands is a mummy. By experimenting with details, you can make both an ancient awakened evil and a charming Egyptian princess. You probably read that bandages and an assistant are quite enough for this image, but this is not entirely true. Tightly wound around the body, the bandages will put pressure on the limbs and restrict movement, but we still have to dance. So it will take a little effort.

For the image of a mummy you need:

• an old jacket and pants in light colors;
• household fabric gloves;
• many bandages;
• needle with thread.

Manufacturing process:

1. First, let's “age” the bandages for the Halloween costume with our own hands - they cannot be white, because the mummy has lain in them for thousands of years! To do this, unwind the bandages, put them in a saucepan with strong tea leaves for 10 minutes, then pull them out and dry.

2. Now you need to sheathe the jacket and pants with bandages. We do this in an arbitrary order, the main condition is negligence. The ends should hang down and stick out. Then we also sheathe the gloves (you can pre-sew them to the sleeves of the jacket).

3. You can complement this Halloween costume with your own hands with paint stains imitating dried blood or embalming composition. Real mummies go barefoot - in extreme cases, sheathe socks with bandages as well. And yes, you still have to just wrap your head and neck.

How to make a witch costume

The favorite image of almost all girls on Halloween is a witch. Tellingly, no one wants to be an evil old woman with a hooked nose - everyone chooses sexual witches who have applied their secret knowledge for eternal youth. The basis of the do-it-yourself seductive witch costume for Halloween is black clothes. A dress of any length, a skirt with a top, even trousers will do; they need to be supplemented with interesting details like striped stockings or leggings, fishnet tights. You can also beat a leather corset or a wide belt. The main thing here is not to slide into vulgarity. Shoes can be any: multi-colored ankle boots, high-speed shoes, ballet flats, knee-length patent leather boots.

There is also an interesting version of shoes with curved toes - straight from the chest of a witch grandmother! For this do-it-yourself Halloween costume detail, you need:

• old shoes;
• newspapers;
• black paper;
• glue;
• decorative sequins.

Manufacturing process:

1. We make “bent noses” separately using papier-mâché technology (many layers, we glue each one). Then we attach them to the toes of the shoes, fix them.
2. We evenly glue the shoes with newspapers, the last layer is black paper.
3. We process our shoes with sparkles and leave to dry. You can also decorate it with interesting details.

Another important detail of a do-it-yourself witch costume for Halloween is a hat. It is easily made from:

• cardboard;
• black paper (option: black cloth or paint).

You also need scissors and glue.

Manufacturing process:

1. We cut out two parts of the hat from cardboard, as in the picture. The height and width of the margins are adjustable depending on the desire, the slot for the head is with individual parameters. Do not forget to leave in the "fastening" fields, with which we will connect the parts.
2. We glue the parts, leave to dry. Here fantasy begins to work: you can glue the hat with black paper, you can paint it. A more difficult option is to sheathe it with a cloth.

You can leave it like that, you will already be recognized as a witch. And you can go further - decorate the hat with black lace flowers, ribbons, fringes, veils, an unusual clasp or a cardboard bat. An option is to make a do-it-yourself hat for a Halloween witch costume using the same technology, but a small one. Attach it to the hairpin and fix the hairstyle on the side - you get a recognizable, but at the same time unusual accessory.

How to make a Dead Bride costume

The next character seems to have taken the expression "love to the grave" too literally. The image of the dead bride was popularized by Burton, however, it is not necessary to build on Emily, because such characters existed before him. Ideally, the basis of such a DIY Halloween costume is a wedding dress (a great idea for those whose wedding outfit is gathering dust in the closet). Any other light dress that is not a pity will do. The outfit can also be black, as a reflection of sorrow for eternal love.

“Age” it: tear the hem, cut it with scissors, wipe it, smear it, because your heroine crawled out of the ground in it. You can sew on a “web” - gauze (a veil is made from it), add spots of “blood” or “decomposition”. Add any comfortable shoes and a bouquet of dried flowers to the image - and go ahead, prove that love is stronger than death!

How to make a Bloody Nurse costume

How to make a doll costume

Horror movie fans know that anything can be expected from an ordinary doll. This children's toy is a great DIY Halloween costume. There are also options here. What is closer to you: a classic doll with blond curls and an angelic appearance, a puppet, or, for example, a pale girl doll from Japanese folklore? Or maybe you want something more trashy, like Billy the killer doll from the movie Saw? Everything is doable.

To make a do-it-yourself traditional doll costume for Halloween, put on a short dress in a rich color, preferably with a fluffy petticoat. Pair it with flats or flats; you can make pantaloons from light breeches by sewing lace to them. Weave a lush bow into your hair. If your strands are far from “puppet”, use overheads or a wig.

A more interesting option is a Japanese doll, the character is always sinister and gloomy. This look is especially good for skinny girls with long dark hair. Make them perfectly straight using styling wax; let them fall on the shoulders and back. Such a do-it-yourself Halloween costume involves a straight short black dress (or the traditional “sailor suit” for Japanese girls), white stockings and dark ballet flats. If you have drawing skills, draw yourself "hinges" on the arms and legs. Both of these options can be puppets, you just need to rehearse the appropriate "mechanical" movements. This do-it-yourself Halloween costume looks especially impressive in a pair: let the second person portray the puppeteer.

How to make angel and fairy costumes

Dreaming of a paradise life? Then make yourself an angel outfit for Halloween. You can become both a traditional cherub and a sinful, fallen angel. The difference is only in color. The angel costume is based on a dress, white for the normal and black for the fallen. Wings are attached to the back of the dress. We make them from wire: we simply give it the desired shape, pull the fabric base over it and sheathe it with feathers. From it we build a halo. It can be pasted over with lace or tinsel.

By the way, a do-it-yourself Halloween costume is made in a similar way for a kinder creature - fairies. The only difference is that the wings will need to be sheathed not with feathers, but with glass beads or decorated with sparkles. Make the wings bigger, decorate them with all the colors of the rainbow - and you can be a butterfly! Instead of a halo, we make a magic wand - what kind of fairy is without it? We form a star from the wire, and then glue it with foil or iridescent gift paper. Also, a fairy can wear a dress with a fluffy skirt (or a plain T-shirt and a tutu skirt made of tulle), a diadem and light-colored shoes. Do-it-yourself elf costume for Halloween is made in a similar way.

How to make a devil costume

And again, the forces of evil - it turns out that most girls prefer to dress up for Halloween with them! Try on the image of a devil, though no one will be afraid of such an “imp”, because this particular character is rather flirtatious and playful. The basis of the image is a lot of red. A red dress of any length, scarlet high-heeled shoes, spicy loose hair ... and of course horns and a ponytail.

These Halloween costume details are easy to make with your own hands, we only need some red fabric (preferably velvet), wire or a long rope, a piece of thick cardboard and a thin headband. Cut out a couple of horns from cardboard, sheathe them with velvet (you can put a little cotton wool inside, so the horns will be more voluminous), and then sew them onto the headband. Disguise it with hair - now who will figure out that the horns are not yours? We make the tail from wire or rope - we also sheathe it with velvet, for the tip we cut out a piece in the shape of an arrow and sew it on. The same materials will be useful for making a trident.

This will help you figure out how to make a Halloween witch costume and what details to pay attention to. Here are examples of the most popular images.

If you are not afraid that children will be afraid of such an image, then feel free to experiment. In clothes, take a closer look at your grandmother's old rags: a long skirt, an apron, a shirt and a vest on top. cover yourself

She can be good or bad. Add natural elements to your image: leaves, berries. Let them be present on a hat or dress. In the color scheme, stick to green-yellow shades. The main outfit can be dark green or brown, make a cape from light airy materials. A small hat will look original. Pay special attention to the eyes and makeup, whiten the skin and add green or blue shadows.

Charming Gothic

fashion witch

This is an image of a cheerful perky witch. She is laid-back and light, sexy and very alluring. For a fashionable witch, a short puffy dress or skirt is suitable. Do not be limited in colors: it can be a combination of black and pink, purple, light green or green. Such a witch may even have the most daring image for experiments instead of a broom.

Imagine the Snow Queen. She is strict, mysterious and impregnable. She has a chic dress and a high collar. She may not have a hat, but a cold look is required.

Components of a witch costume

Beautiful evil sorceresses from fairy tales have always attracted with their mystery. Reminds me of Maleficent. One look from her was captivating. A beautiful bright costume with a black cape and a long puffy floor-length skirt - such an extraordinary outfit can be easily bought at the store, but making a DIY Halloween witch costume is very simple. Consider the main components of any such outfit:

• hat;
• corset;
• skirt;
• cape.

Corset and skirt can be combined into a single dress. But without special skills in cutting and sewing, you can separate these elements and get an equally amazing result. Consider how to make a witch costume at home in stages.

Hat

What does a witch's hat look like? That's right, it is acute-angled with wide margins. If you do not have a suitable one at home, then it can be easily cut out and made. What is needed for this:

• white and brown cardboard;
• ribbons or any other decorations on the hat (you can make spiders out of black paper);
• scissors;
• glue;
• needle with thread.

Instead of a paper hat, you can also make a fabric hat. Felt is ideal for this purpose. It does not crumble, holds its shape well and is easy to use. In addition, various decorations are better attached to such a fabric.

Hat Making Instructions

1. The first step is to cut out a circle with a hole in the middle from white cardboard. The diameter of the hole should be equal to the girth of the head.
2. Then you need to transfer the size of the circle to brown cardboard. The contours are drawn with a pencil, but the hole is not completely cut out. Instead, triangular cuts are made in it along the entire diameter and bent. They will become the basis for attaching the cone.
3. The cone is made like this. Brown cardboard must be folded like a bag for seeds. The bottom edge must be aligned and cut to one length. The diameter of the base of the cone should be equal to the inner circumference of the brim of the hat.
4. Then you need to put the cone on the triangles and glue it well.
5. Then decorate the hat with a ribbon, securing it with a needle and thread. Any other elements can act as decoration: stars, rhinestones, fabric spiders.

The hat can be any size. Little princesses will be happy to put on a neat hat with a hair clip or headband. If you don’t want to wear a bulky accessory, you can experiment with others. For example, a bat headband will do.

Find a stencil online or draw your own bat silhouette. Transfer it to black cardstock and cut it out. Try to make the mice different in size to make the composition look livelier. Bend each blank in half, so you get the impression of a fluttering mouse. In the center, make two holes through which to fasten the wire. Attach the other end of the rod to the rim. Put it on your head and amaze everyone with what a wonderful witch costume you managed to sew.

Corset

In order to sew the simplest version of clothing, a witch costume pattern is not needed. Any black blouse, T-shirt or bodysuit can serve as the top for the dress.

In the above version, a long black floor-length dress is used as the main element. Surely this is in the wardrobe of any lady. If you're unsure if black suits you, try other shades, such as purple or grey. In general, when going to Halloween, do not think about which color scheme should dominate. Only your imagination should work here.

For the authenticity of the image, decorate your top with some symbolic elements: rhinestones, stars, beads. Place a crow or a black cat on your shoulder.

Skirt

Witch costume (adult) involves the use of a long skirt to the floor. If you don't have one, borrow one from your grandmother or a relative you know. You can also buy, but it is unlikely that you will ever wear it again.

There are a lot of options for designing a skirt. In order for the Halloween witch costume, created with your own hands, to be original, do not be afraid to show imagination. If you don't have a long skirt, get a short one. Or maybe you have a dress in general, then that’s fine too. From transparent black fabric, cut a rectangle the length of the floor, and in width it should be twice the girth of your hips. Make folds with your hands, fix them with a needle and thread. Pull a long ribbon and tie it at the waist. The skirt is ready!

Children's puffy skirt for Halloween

Some of our little ones also want to wear a witch costume. The children's version is practically no different from the adult. All the same elements, the same materials. Consider how to make a fluffy skirt for a holiday, using a specific example.

Halloween witch costume for girls involves the use of the following materials and tools:

• dark bodysuit;
• organza ribbons in two shades (they can be different, in our example black and light green are used);
• scissors;
• rubber bands.

First of all, the waist circumference is measured. It should be noted that this skirt is suitable for both adults and children. The time to make it is half an hour.

Next, you need to cut strips from the tape. You need to calculate the length like this. First, determine the desired skirt length. Let's say for a child it will be 50 cm. Multiply this figure by two and add 2 cm. Total - 102 cm. Cut a lot of these strips.

Begin to fasten the strips to the elastic bands, following the pattern shown in the photo below.

Fold the ribbon in half and thread it through the elastic. Alternating colors, fasten all the ribbons. You will see how they puff up. That is why dense materials are best suited for such purposes: organza or tulle.

Everything, the skirt is ready!

Cape

A DIY Halloween witch costume would be incomplete without a cape or cloak. The easiest option is to borrow at any nearest costume rental. But we're doing the original image. So, our dear lady will wear a witch costume from improvised materials.

What are we looking for? For a cape or cloak, we need any dark material available in the house. It can be a scarf, a husband's T-shirt, an old raincoat, anything. Perhaps you have a beautiful dark-colored openwork scarf. Then the issue of the cape is resolved. You will try on the image of a vintage dark seductress.

Now we offer you one unusual version of a cobweb cape. To create it, find something black. Can be used old skirt or a t-shirt. The size of the material will depend on how long you want the cape to be. Expect her to cover at least her shoulders.

Fold the material in half, and then in half again, as shown in the figure. Start making a pattern from the edge where the folds are. Measure the circumference of your head. Divide the resulting number by 2. Set aside this length plus 2 cm from the edge of the fabric and mark it. From the second corner, make the second. Connect the dots in a semicircle.

In the horizontal direction from the beginning of the bent edge, set aside the length of the cape. Along the length of the arms, it will approximately be 70 cm in one direction. Measure from the point of the neckline. Cut out a semicircle. You should get a pattern similar to a skirt-sun.

Any mantle will have a similar shape. Find on the Internet a pattern of an ordinary sun skirt, replace the waist with a neckline - and the mantle is ready. If necessary, you can sew on a hood. To do this, cut out two semicircular parts, sew in a straight line and attach in the neck from the back.

Let's start forming the web for our example.

With chalk, draw vertical stripes on the fabric from the neck down. This will help keep the proportions. Cut out the bottom. In the horizontal direction, draw each segment of the cobweb. Use sharp scissors or a utility knife to cut out the marked holes.

If the fabric is fraying, fold the edges. For any robe, try to use light and thin fabrics that do not weigh down the image. The Halloween witch costume and its decorative element are ready!

Additional accessories

How to make a witch costume for Halloween, we figured it out. The hat is ready, the skirt is in place, the top is picked up. There is even a cape. But that is not all. Additional accessories are needed to complete the look. What are these elements?

1. Tights. If the event is held indoors, then, naturally, you need to wear thin ones. Under a short skirt, it is better to wear black tights with a pattern. Choose an original ornament or mesh.

4. Rings, brooches, necklaces. Everything should be thematically stylized. Do not be lazy to go shopping and pick up accessories for the witch costume.
5. Handbag. Best of all, of course, a small classic clutch will look. Brave girls can successfully replace it with a bowler hat. By analogy with, you can make it yourself from cardboard and sheathe it with a dark cloth. A word of advice: you should not store your mobile or wallet in it.
6. Broom. Well, what is a witch without a broom? It can be small, in the form of a brooch, or large, one that can be held in the hand. A broom must be present!

How to make a broom

If you live in a region where there is still no snow at the end of October, then you are very lucky. Go to the nearest park and collect a lot of small twigs. Collect them in a bundle, attach a thicker long stick to them and you're done!

Instead of branches, you can use dry grass. It will also look no worse, and most importantly, it will be safer.

You can make a small broom. It decorates an outfit or a festive table. For needlework you will need: bamboo skewer, tow threads, thin threads, scissors.

Cut the flagella with a length of at least 7 cm. Make a small bundle, thread a skewer into it and tighten it on one side with a thin thread. Unscrew the threads and drag again at the base with a thread. The broom is ready.
