We got the headless girl costume idea from this site. My daughter loved it. So we set off to make it. This was the easiest and cheapest costume I have ever made. I set out to thrift stores to find a dress. When I got the dress home I got a rolling backpack and duck taped a pillow to the top. I then cut off the rest of the backpack so that only the top of it and the armholes were left. I stuffed it into the dress and used more cotton to form the body. I purchased hands at a Halloween store and stuffed them into the sleeves with cotton to make the arms.
I then cut a hole in the dress for my daughters head. The hands were fastened around her head with safety pins. The neck of the headless girl costume was made with a sour cream container paper mache, paint and melted crayons. She won a Halloween contest and was also stopped on the streets for pictures. She looked awesome. Total spent $15 on hands and dress.
