Easy $3 Medusa Costume and Makeup Tutorial
Materials
- White or gray makeup on-hand
- green eye shadow or face makeup on-hand
- plastic snakes $2 at Dollar Tree
- rubberbands and bobby pins on-hand
- cream colored pillowcase $1 or on-hand
Instructions
- Medusa’s hair is kind of messy and crazy so this part doesn’t have to be perfect – or even close to it. We just put Saff’s hair up in a few loose braids and then pinned them to the top of her head. We added in some plastic snakes and secured them with bobby pins as well.
- There are several ways you can do Medusa Makeup, but we did a basic green coat and then added white Manic Panic Goth on top.
- Add some scales with an eyeliner roll-on.
- The actual costume is a cream colored pillowcase with a slit cut in the top and side for arms. :) We tied a few pieces of yarn around the waist so it isn’t SO big. You could also cut and sew it but I wasn’t putting that much effort into it.
Notes
You can create this Medusa Costume look for FREE if you have these items on-hand, or for as little as $3 if you have to buy some of the supplies.
