Cereal Killer Costume

Submitted by Lisa
Find out how to make this simple yet creative Halloween costume. Follow these directions submitted by Lexie in Ohio and you can dress up as a cereal killer.

Materials Needed:

  • All Black Clothes (or whatever you want to wear)
  • Mini Cereal Boxes
  • Plastic Knifes
  • Fake Blood
  • Glue
  • Safety Pins

Instructions:
Put on the black outfit. Empty the cereal boxes and then glue the tops closed. Stab the plastic knifes into the boxes of cereal, secure with glue if needed. Add some fake blood on the knives and cuts. Pin the mini cereal boxes all over the outfit (If helpful, you may do this before you glue the boxes shut.)

You may even want to put some fake blood around your mouth or maybe stick some pieces of cereal around your mouth.

Shared by Lisa: "I took mini cereal boxes and stab them with the plastic knives. Used red paint for the "blood" coming out of the knives. I also had it dripping down the knives. I used safety pins to attach the boxes to the front and back of the white shirt. Splatter red paint on the shirt to represent more blood. I painted a milk mustache on my face with white face paint and had fake blood coming out of my mouth and on other areas of my face. I also used black eyeliner to write "GOT MILK?" on my cheeks. I mussed up my hair and was out the door."
