Need help making an adult Halloween constume....need ideas and tips PLEASE

[LittleMissNervoustWitch]

I am going to a Halloween party for adults and have no idea what to go as or how to make a costume, i dont really want to buy/hire one as it seems a waste of money and its a house party with a bunch of friends so i though making my own would be much more creative and fun!..........however i have no idea where to start. Help please!

easy one....white sheet with eye holes - ghost!

That's about the extent of my creativity I'm afraid!

Hollow out a pumpkin wear a black suit a white shirt with collars up and bow tie and ta daaaaar you are the character in the Tim Burton film I can't remember

You could do Zombie, easy, tatty old pair of trousers and shirt with brown eyeshadow rubbed on in places for dirt. White face make up, black eyeshadow painted round eye sockets etc, you wouldn't even have to brush your hair!
Or Witch, (anything in black velvet or satin) with boots and a broomstick. Don't forget the fishnets.
Black cat (dds favourite) black velvet pants and top, with face paint and a pair of cats ears.

I'm going to one too and this is my plan. Wear all black, and make a set of bat wings out of black fabric (easiest would be fleece, as it holds its shape and doesn't need hemming - you'd need about half a metre which should cost less than a fiver). Sew or pin them along the arms of your top, so that when you spread your arms the wings open out. For the face, get a big bat picture from google image search, copy into paint or word or any other program where you can resize it, make it big enought to make a mask, and print out. Cut out the face, stick to card and add elastic to make a mask.

You could even do this with just the mask and black clothes, especially if you have a cape or pashmina that could be the wings - I may end up doing this if no time for wing-making.
