Witch costume for girl
Be it a young lady or an elegant lady, each woman wants to successfully throw on herself the image of a mysterious mess. In order for the costume to be full, several required elements are necessary:
- witch's hat;
- skirts and dresses - fluffy, short or to the floor, it all depends on the mood;
- corset or just a suitable jacket;
- special shoes with sharp toes;
- broom or magic wand.
In addition, they often add an accessory in the form of an unusual bag, for example, in the form of a pumpkin. The mantle and high collar can also be a bright accent in a mysterious appearance.
Choose an image
It would seem that a suitable character was found, but it is not so simple. You need to choose among many types of witches.
The classic villain is all black. A hat crowns her head, and in her hands an eternal broom. The traditional image, of course, is easier to create, but it will be difficult to stand out.
A witch from old tales is a decrepit hag with gray disheveled hair and a terrible grimace on her face. It is enough to choose worn-out things and hem some more flaps to them. To complete the image, a black cloak with a hood made of thick fabric will help, which must be thrown over your head to shock guests by sharply removing the hood and showing a distorted face or even a large wart from plasticine on the nose.
A natural sorceress is associated either with a forest or with a swamp, so twigs, leaves or even frogs should be present in the suit if such a soft toy is found at home. In general, a "pet" can be the highlight of the image. A plush spider, a creepy teddy bear or a believable snake is quite suitable for the evil sorceress. The colors of clothing and accessories should be dominated by green and brown. A bright shade will make the image more noticeable, and the dark emerald color of things will give elegance.
One of the best options would be enticing gothic . Black lace, a long dress complete with high gloves, a chic collar with a mantle and a veil hiding a pale face will transform the girl into a person of dark blood. Such wisps are kept cold, strict in everything and always hold their heads high. If this description fits the desired surroundings, then feel free to choose a Gothic witch.
The enchantress-fashionista in a bright outfit will become a ray in the gloomy atmosphere of the holiday. She glows with happiness and is ready to have fun until the morning. You can experiment with rich, even acidic, colors. A full skirt or a daring mini will come in handy. And the mischievous girl will exchange her broom for a compact magic wand. If you add bright manicure and a wig to the look, then you won’t be left without attention.
How to make a hat
The sorceress should have a pointed hat. They are large and small, black and colored, looking at the sky or gracefully bent to one side. It all depends on the boundaries of fantasy and preferred appearance.
To make a hat for a party with your own hands you will need:
- cardboard or felt in the selected color;
- ribbons, buckles and other decorations;
- scissors, glue, and also a thread and a needle.
The process of creating a cardboard hat:
- One sheet is required for the blank. You should cut a circle in diameter of the hat fields, and inside one more one equal to the circumference of the head.
- Next, the cardboard of the desired color is cut out in a large circle, but the inner circle is divided into triangles, on which the cone is fixed.
- It remains to roll up a cone from the third sheet, cut and glue it with the base of the headgear.
- On a strong frame, add more jewelry in the form of buckles, sequins, stars, spiders, raven feathers and other unusual accents.
Important! The hat needs to be firmly fixed on the head, because at the festival, nothing should distract from the fun. To do this, use an elastic band or hair clips. Small hats are often attached to the hoop.
Top and skirt
The corset will add elegance to the figure, but do not forget about comfort. In addition, it is quite complicated to manufacture. It is possible to adapt a tightening body for this, the main thing is to properly decorate it with rhinestones or beads. A dress or a skirt is immediately associated with the witch, but the impudent heist in tight pants stands out with an unusual approach.
A fluffy skirt is suitable for a mischievous sorceress. You can do this from organza or tulle. First you need to measure the circumference of the waist, take the fabric 2 times longer, cut and collect with elastic and thread. Many folds are formed that will create volume. Tie a skirt with a ribbon, and she is ready.
A conqueror of hearts or a strict sorceress will look great in a long skirt . This probably is in the wardrobe of every fashionista. It must be dark so as not to get out of the image. A black, deep red, green or blue skirt on the floor will immediately enrich the look.
The mini-skirt will look great on a seductive beauty. The villains were never bound by the rules of decency, so they can come to a party in a daring outfit.
Pointy shoes
The sorceress’s shoes can be ordinary high-heeled shoes or patent leather shoes suitable for clothes, however there is a more interesting solution - pointed shoes . For some, an old-fashioned couple might be lying in the closet. And if not, then it does not matter, they can be made independently.
How to make a sharp nose in shoes:
- You need to choose those shoes that are not a pity, for example, worn out or simply bored.
- To begin with, you should simulate the future nose using foil or masking tape.
- Then the frame is sealed with newspapers using the papier-mâché technique and primed with paint.
- In conclusion, the noses need to be painted in the color of the shoes, if desired, covered with sequins using glue.
Beautiful and fitting shoes are an integral part of the Halloween look.
Broom
In the hands of a real evil sorceress there is always either a broom or a magic wand. If at home there is a ready-made broom made of branches, then it remains only to decorate it a bit, for example, with black or scarlet ribbons on the stalk. And if this is not, then it is easy to make it from sticks and a long branch yourself, do not worry about accuracy, because the terrible attribute of the witch should be slightly disheveled. You can glue scraps of cobwebs from fabric or small spiders directly onto the whisk. Also, you can use a cleaning brush with a long handle, decorating it with a black mesh and bright ribbons.
