By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Find out how to make this simple yet creative Halloween costume. Follow these directions submitted by Medel from Arizona and you can dress up as Cousin It from the Addams Family.

Materials Needed:

  • Black Hat
  • Lots of brown yarn (different styles of same shade works best)
  • Dark sunglasses
  • Sturdy tape (good old duct tape works well)

Instructions:
Cut yarn pieces so they reach from your forehead to the ground.

Cut a 5" piece of tape and place yard tightly against each other on the tape. Place another piece of tape on top if necessary to attach to hat.

Place the tape on the inner brim of the hat so the hair falls down.

Placing the hat on a hat rack works well when attached hair.

Use lots of yarn for more "hair" coverage.
