Courtney wanted to go as a mad scientist. We got some old clothes at Goodwill, took the frames out of some sunglasses to make it look like she had an explosion in the laboratory, painted her hair white and black in the front to seem as if she did have an explosion, we found a large test tube looking jar and placed dry ice and a glow stick in it to look like she had chemicals, she had multiple pens in her coat pocket the also appeared a little charred from the explosion, and we even made her face look like it was bubbling off on one side from the accident. Every year she has a homemade costume and so many people stop her trick or treating to tell her how awesome she looks!

hi
the costume you made is great!
I’m being a mad scientist this year and I would like to know what you used to make the black explosion marks on the coat and her face.
maybe you could add the information to your post so others can use the idea. Also how did you apply the stuff?
thanks so much!
