finished costumes Here is a photo of my husband and I this Halloween. I turned us into cheeky comic book characters. It all cost a few dollars using just makeup, markers (for outlining old clothes), and paper for talk bubbles. We loved the reactions we got. We even called our parents, live on video chat, and freaked them out. Best Halloween yet!

Total Time: 1 Hour

Supplies:

1 pack of facepaints/face crayons (white, black, blue, red)
1 black permanent marker
old clothes
white paper

Steps:

Draw heavy black lines on the outer edges of your old clothes. Add details like wrinkles and folds.

Draw (or print out) comic book bubbles with you own personal funnies. Cut around the edges.
Do your comic makeup! I viewed old Lichtenstein comics as a guide. I used a wig on myself to be more dramatic, but it's not necessary.
