Thank you Coolest Costumes! This site was a great resource and the inspiration for my spooky head on a platter Halloween costume. I won Most Original Costume at work and it was a sensation!
I followed the instructions and tips from other happy heads on a platter from this site. I bought everything at an art shop and made everything Halloween themed. I bought the knife headband at a costume shop. The most important thing is the hot glue gun – without a doubt that is the most important tool. Also, I cut the hole in the box large enough for my head and then cut a platter to put it around my neck so it is snug without having to pull it over my head and avoid any gaps.
The makeup was pale cover up and grey eye shadow surrounding my eyes (very easy) – also I used a fake tattoo for the gash on my forehead and fake blood from the costume shop. The spiders, flies, rat, and skull all made the costume great. I was very happy with the end result and it took me about an hour to put together.
I spent less than $25! Thank you for the great idea!
