A Halloween costume with very little
Whether you're looking for a sustainable Halloween costume for yourself or your children, we'll provide you with inspiration. We'll show you ideas for dressing up as a tree monster and as a tree princess or prince. You will need materials from nature for both costumes. The best thing about making Halloween costumes is collecting the materials - which can be perfectly combined with a nice autumn walk.
Scary Halloween costume: the tree monster
We love trees: they provide us with the air we breathe, are home to many animals and are the basis of life for people all over the world. But imagine if there was a tree monster. It would live in the treetops high above our heads, swinging from branch to branch and terrifying anyone who came near. Because it camouflages itself with leaves, it is barely recognizable - and it rejoices at every frightened face. This is the tree monster and you or your children can turn into one for Halloween.
What you need for this
- 1 old T-shirt
- Safety pins
- Collected leaves
Instructions
Step 1
Search the forest for leaves in different colors. Sort the collected leaves by size and form a row starting with the largest leaf and ending with the smallest. To fasten the leaves together, we recommend braiding the leaf stems. The braiding principle is similar to that of the flower wreath. However, you do not close the end. The length of such a leaf garland should be as long as your T-shirt. We recommend weaving between one and four of these leaf garlands.
Step 2
Now place the leaf garlands on the shirt as you like best. Use safety pins to attach them to the T-shirt. One at the top, bottom and middle of the leaf garland. This will hold it best. Arrange your leaf garlands however you like. Your Halloween costume is ready. Please put it on carefully so that you don't hurt yourself on the safety pins.
Halloween costume for dreaming: the tree princess or the tree prince
There is something calming, contemplative, almost magical about trees. So it's no wonder that tree princesses and tree princes prefer to cavort in trees. They chirp sweet songs along with the birds, sunbathe on the branches of the highest trees and watch the people walking under the trees. And every now and then - very rarely - they glide down from their trees, look at the world and are only recognizable by their tree crown. You could feel the same way on Halloween. We'll show you how to become a tree princess or prince.
What you need for this
- 1 old hairband
- 1 pair of scissors
- Color (if you want to be even more creative)
- Nylon wire or string
- Glue
- Textile strap
- Collected branches
- Collected leaves
- Collected acorns
Instructions
Step 1
Collect branches, leaves and oak trees. Place the branches left and right around the headband as you like them best. Secure them with nylon wire or string.
Step 2
Place the leaves left and right between the branches, it is advisable to start with the large leaves and decorate with the small leaves facing upwards. The leaves can be attached with nylon wire, string or glue.
Step 3
The collected acorns should be firmly attached to the hair bands or leaves with glue.
Step 4
To make the crown more comfortable to wear, it is advisable to wrap the branches and the headband with a textile band on the left and right, so that the cords and nylon wires are not visible and the crown is more comfortable to wear. If you wish, you can decorate the tree crown with paint.
That's how quickly you can become a tree prince or princess.
