Easy $3 Medusa Costume and Makeup Tutorial

Author: Laurie Bennett

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.
