Little Miss Monstrous Costume

Use a makeup sponge to apply white cream makeup to face.

Use a black eye pencil to draw in heavy brows, tilting them upward at the outer corners.

Add gray eye shadow under brow line, blending with black eye shadow to create a dramatic, smoky eye. Apply black eye pencil around upper and lower lids, and finish with black mascara.

With red lip liner, draw an exaggerated Cupid's bow over lips; fill in with liner. Apply clear lip gloss over liner.

For the sleeves, dye 2 Ace bandages gray using black fabric dye; let dry. Cut thumbholes in the corners of the bandages. Insert thumbs and wrap bandages around arms, safety-pinning together behind shoulders.

For the shroud, fold an ivory twin-size flat sheet in half lengthwise and then again horizontally. For a neckhole, cut a rounded wedge half the width of head from the corner and unfold sheet; drape over shoulders. Gather at shoulders and tie with twine to cinch. Trim excess length from hem, if needed.

For the wig, download and print the template; cut out. Use template to cut a rounded triangle from a large, curly, black wig (measure hairline all around head and adjust size if necessary). Hot-glue two 9-inch strips of Velcro where indicated, with loop side on one inside edge and soft side on opposite outside edge. Cut two 28-inch pieces of thick white yarn; unravel with fingers until loose and hairlike. Hot-glue edge of 1 piece to each side of wig's underside as indicated. Pull yarn to outside of wig; tease into curls with fingers to form a lightning-bolt pattern and secure with white craft glue. Wrap wig around head, securing in place with Velcro.
