Coolest DIY Headless Halloween Costume

I was given this idea from someone on the internet. Then to make it all work, I checked this site, which was very helpful in putting it all together.

First I took a peanut butter jar and painted it flesh color. Then, I glued pulled pieces of cotton balls on top and here and there around the sides. Then, I painted the cotton blood red, letting it drip down the sides.

I went to a thrift shop and purchased an old shirt, pair of pants, and a rolling backpack. I hung the shirt and pants up outside, and let the paint drip down them. I cut the backpack up and removed the wheels, to where I only had the back straps and the poles. Then I attached a piece of cardboard, with two smaller pieces glued on to it posing as shoulders, to the poles.

After everything dried, I stuffed the arms with newspaper, the gloves with cotton, and safety pinned the gloves onto the cuffs of the shirt. Once the costume was on, we pinned the shirt around the pants, with room for his hands to hang out to carry his bag.

Everyone loved his costume. People were taking pictures all night. Although, getting in and out of the car was a bit troublesome. We found it easiest to put him in the front with the seat all of the way back.

Thank you again for all of the tips and cool pictures and ideas on this site.
