Scarecrow

What You Need: Plaid shirt, overalls, straw or hay, old hat, face paint.

How To Make: Dress in a plaid shirt and overalls (or jeans) and stuff straw or hay into the sleeves and pockets. Wear an old hat and use face paint to add a stitched mouth and rosy cheeks. Enhance the look by tying some straw around the wrists and ankles for that scarecrow-in-the-field vibe.

Cat

What You Need: Black clothing, headband, construction paper, black eyeliner.

How To Make: To recreate the cat look, wear everything black. Cut out two small triangles from black construction paper and attach them to a headband to make ears. Use black eyeliner to draw whiskers and a cute little nose. For that extra drama, create a tail by attaching a black scarf or piece of fabric to the back of your outfit.

Mummy

What You Need: Toilet paper or white bandages.

How To Make: Wrap yourself in toilet paper or old white bandages from head to toe, leaving space for your eyes and mouth. Secure the ends with tape or safety pins to prevent unravelling. For a more authentic look, you can also use some coffee or tea to stain the material and give it an aged, worn-out appearance.
