Dress like the
cat's from the Broadway play "CATS." You will need to have a black
(or any color) leotard for this. Woman can wear a dress if you
like. You will need to make the headpiece out of the fake fur material.
You can fashion one by copying a pattern for a hood. after you
have sewn the hood, sew some of the fur material around the ankles
and wrists. Now you will need to paint your face like a cat using
the makeup recipe. Be sure to give yourself
a pink or black nose and whiskers. If you want, you can make a
collar out of scrap cloth or an old belt, you could even attach
a fake jewel or tag to the collar. |

The easy version: You need a leotard to start. To make the ears use construction
paper or felt. Cut the ears to shape leaving enough of a seam to glue to a hairband.To
make a tail you will need a matching piece of cloth. sew the cloth in a long
strip forming a tube that you can put fiber fill in. Attach the tail to your
leotard or sweats with a few stitches and you can take the tail off after Halloween
without damaging the leotard. Make the tail short enough so that you don't step
on it. For face makeup, use our free makeup recipe.
if you dont use makeup, party stores sell black cat masks. This costume is nice
and warm for trick-or-treating. |
