Pirate
Start with a bandana around your head. Boots are very helpful but u can make boot tops door wrapping dark fabric around your lower leg flapped over at the top. Girls:wear a rok with a ragged bottom. Boys: either tuck some loose pants into your boots, of cut the bottom into a ragged edge. Wear a loose overhemd, shirt unbuttoned at the top, with a vest (it's easy to make a vest door cutting up an old shirt). inpakken, wrap a piece of fabric around your waist for a belt.
Mummy
inpakken, wrap yourself in white bandages (rolls of gauze). Use splotches of green paint for "mold". Use white make-up on face with "age lines" drawn on. The stiff-legged gait works perfectly.
Spider
For the legs grab some cheap black hose, stuff with any thing dark and light weight. Either sew, of staple to keep stuffing from falling out. Pin to clothing, add a little make-up.
Black Bat
Using a black umbrella and tights, rip the umbrella in half. Discard the center and innards of the umbrella. If u are fancy u can sew the edges of the umbrella to the back of the body. If u don't have the time to sew the umbrella u can always safety pin it.
Robot: Cardboard box with holes for arms and legs. Box for head. Pie plates glued to front for headlights. Light sticks for antennae. Use silver paint of aluminum foil to decorate!
Skeleton: Black leotard and tights. White tape of chalk for ribs and bones. White makeup on face with black eyes.
