The Witch Costume requires the following materials:
About making costumes using crepe paper: Most costumes are made over a muslin foundation to which the crepe paper is sewed or pasted. The materials are inexpensive and very stricking and unusual costumes may be made with very little work. The "slip-over" costume is very popular as it may be worn over any simple clothing and quickly removed. The foundation is a full width of crepe paper cut out either oblong or rounding for the neck so that it will hang straight down front and back. Turn under the outer edge from shoulder to waist line both front and back and make one or two tucks to make the waist the correct width. To this foundation are added ruffles, fringe or cut-out designs. |

Making the robot requires a lot of work, but it is worth the effort to create a real sensation at a party, and assuredly this mechanical man will be the talk of the community.
The tent costume is a frame worn in the same way as the alarm-clock and covered with unbleached muslin.
For the alarm-clock framing, use 3/4 or 1/2 in. white pine, and cover with heavy cardboard, cutting an opening at the tp for the head, and another at the bottom which is large enough to pass over the entire body.
The Roman gladiator costume is also great for Halloween.
The simplest costume is that of the baby, and at the same time it is extremely effective, because it will completely disguise the age and sex or anyone. The flesh-tinted cheesecloth covering for the face rounds the mature contours into those of a child, and while the wearer can easily see and breathe through the cloth, the other guests cannot penetrate the disguise.
