The homemade headless girl costume was made with a dress from the thrift store and a rolling back pack. We used a deer park water jug for the base of the neck and hot glued food colored Styrofoam to the top. we used packing paper to stuff the shoulders and arms. We used a coat hanger to make the shoulders.
The top of the homemade headless girl costume was a button up sheer blouse put on top of the rolling back pack. We buttoned the shirt around her head and did the makeup with spirit’s ghost stories makeup and stage blood. We sprayed her hair with white “Hot Hair” hair color. We also got pine needles and leaves from the front yard to put in her hair to make the illusion that her head was dropped after being chopped off.
We applied baby powder all over her face to get the mortified look. Her arms are straight down in the dress and we safety pinned the sleeves under her head to make the illusion of being held by the arms.
