No-Sew Costumes: Bird's Nest
Birds Nest:
"Invite a creepy bird to make its nest on your head and lay a few mysterious eggs. To create the nest, use a hot-glue gun to affix Spanish moss, found in crafts stores, to a cotton skullcap. Next, arrange feathers in the moss, using hot glue to secure them as necessary. Then glue on some miniature plastic quail eggs. To attach the bird, first place the hat on your head, and balance the bird on top (you may need to remove its legs for proper fit). When you're happy with the arrangement, carefully remove the hat and secure."
No-Sew Costumes: Medusa Hair
Medusa Hair:
Create squirming braids reminiscent of the mythological reptilian-haired woman. Buy three hair extensions and braid them. If you have long hair, separate it into ponytails and braid them, too. For short hair, just pin up ends. Wrap braids (real and extensions) into a bun; pin, and weave in small snakes. Use bobby pins to secure larger snakes that dangle: Thread a needle with wire and poke it through a snake's underside, and tie wire around a pin; slide pin into hair.
No-Sew Costumes: Leg Crawlers
No-Sew Costumes: Bug Eyes
No-Sew Costumes: Hair Mice
Hair Mice:
"These not-nice mice are simply rubber rodents transformed into barrettes. Impale the underside of each mouse with the flat side of a bobby pin, and then affix the pin to your hair. Arrange the mice on your head so they appear to be crawling in different directions. Use skin-safe adhesive to attach critters. Beforehand, clean the skin's surface, which will help keep insects from falling off. For the same reason, don't moisturize before attaching the pests, if possible."
