How to Make a Great Witch Costume. The witch is the blue-chip stock of Halloween costumes
— reliable return, low risk. You will need A long black dress Black cloak or shawl Pointy
black shoes Striped stockings A witch's hat Face paint or makeup Black lipstick Peppercorns
Green or black washable paint Glue Broomstick Black poster paper and black cat. Step 1.
Comb through thrift shops and used clothing stores for a calf-length black dress, a black
cloak or shawl, and black pointy shoes. If you don't want to buy a dress, just take a
large piece of black fabric and cut a hole in the top for your head. Step 2. Cut or tear
the dress' hemline into jagged strips. Step 3. Go to a costume shop for horizontally-striped
stockings — green and black or red and black will stand out best — and a witch's hat.
You can also find your face paint here. Make your own witch's hat with some black poster
paper. Step 4. Apply an even layer of white face paint or make up, then add brown and
green smudges. Now smear black face paint or mascara around your eyes.Complete the look
with black lipstick. Step 5. Add a couple of warts by painting peppercorns green or
black and applying to your face with non-toxic glue. Step 6. Chew some black licorice or
black jelly beans until your teeth turn gray. Step 7. Tie a bunch of real twigs to a broomstick
and you're off! If you've got a black cat, take him along for the night. Did you know
The word "witch" comes from the Saxon word "wicca," meaning "wise one," because witches
were believed to have the ability to foresee the future.
