How to draw a creepy face mask
DIY Halloween masks can be successfully made not only from scrap materials. You can easily draw a terrible face directly on the face itself. To do this, use cosmetics, take gouache or buy face painting. You can make your entire face scary or decorate only half of it, which looks very unusual.
Prepare your skin for makeup: wipe with toner and apply base makeup cream. You can draw terrifying details on your face:
- Make your face deathly white by applying light powder or white to your skin.
- Add bloody tears near the eyes.
- Draw some scars sewn up with thread.
- Draw old, cracked leather.
- Using a black pencil and shadows, you can draw a skull on your face.
- A painted smile from ear to ear will create a chilling image.
Follow these helpful tips to create a devilishly attractive look. Let Halloween be one of the most colorful and favorite holidays!

Death in a needle, needle in an egg...
Every child knows who Koschey (or Kashchei) the Immortal is, because we are talking about one of the main villains of Russian folklore. This dark wizard and prince appears in many fairy tales, legends and songs. Very often, Koschey acts as a bride kidnapper from good fellows and princes, or he harms positive characters in other ways. What does this scoundrel look like? Most often he is depicted as a living skeleton or simply a very thin and pale man. Koschey is tall and always appears wearing a crown. Interestingly, this character’s very name means “thin/stingy person.” It is in this meaning that the word “koschey” is found in Old Russian texts. So, we found out what the main villain of Rus' looks like. How to make a Koshchei costume with your own hands?
Features of the suit
- A dark color that will give gloominess and show the evil character of the hero.
- The need to create a sinister appearance. Make the bones of a human skeleton.
- Cloak with a torn edge.
- Crown. After all, “Koshchey is wasting away over gold.”
- Koschey needs a sword, which you can either buy or make yourself.
How to make a web from threads with your own hands?
When decorating interiors for Halloween, the web always prevails, and we are ready to share with you one of the options for making it.
For a homemade web you will need: 3 dry branches and threads.
First you need to fix the branches together. Arrange the branches crosswise, and then use a thread to tie them in the center.
Now you can start weaving the web (see photo).
To make the craft look lively and interesting, we recommend making a small funny spider, and then placing it on a homemade web.
This interior decoration element will look great in the corners of the room, wall or cabinets.
Craft Bat
Surely everyone has a couple of black clothes hangers in their wardrobe. They will become the basis for creating bats to decorate the room.
From black construction paper, cut out the silhouette of wings, as well as a round muzzle and ears.
Glue all paper parts to the hanger with double-sided tape.
The eyes and nose can be made from buttons.
These bats will be a wonderful decoration for a chandelier, cornice or bookshelves.
A very original three-dimensional craft that combines applique, drawing and origami. The children will be delighted!

Bone applique
You can make the basis for the costume of the main dark sorcerer of Rus' without paints. Prepare basic black items and take a fairly thick white fabric. Next, you have to draw templates of a suitable shape, cut out all the elements and sew them onto the base manually or using a sewing machine. If Koshchei’s costume will be used only in an episode of the matinee, you can decorate it with an appliqué made of thick paper. For a masquerade adult outfit, it is enough to attach individual elements to pins. If a child is transforming into Koshchei, it is better to use threads - we all know that children are very restless, and it will be difficult to avoid injuries when using sharp elements. If the room where the performance or celebration will take place is not too hot, you can also make gloves using a similar technique.
Drawing bone elements on clothing
To create a costume, you need to complete several basic steps.
How to choose a foundation
You can use any clothes you have as the basis for a “drawn” skeleton costume. It is better to try to use flesh-colored clothing or one that will highlight the white color of the drawn bones.
If possible, clothing should cover the maximum surface area of the body (to allow room for drawing) and be fitted - this will bring additional realism to the image of the skeleton.
How to draw
You can paint on clothes with special paints for clothes. You can purchase them at any art store - it is recommended to do this in advance, before the Halloween holiday, in order to be prepared for this “night of evil spirits.”
Important: some types of fabrics require a pre-wash before applying dye - keep this in mind when creating your look!
Crown
The crown must certainly complement the Immortal, which is not difficult to make with your own hands. You can use a ready-made crown, if available. If not, then we will now tell you how to make it yourself.
Thick cardboard, which is used for packaging goods, is suitable for this. From it we cut a strip with teeth to fit the size of the head. We chose black color in order to sew the costume of Koshchei the Immortal with our own hands. The crown template shown in the picture has no color, so it needs to be painted. It is better to choose gold or silver color. Spray paint is the best choice as it can completely cover the crown. After painting, we connect the strip with the teeth with a stapler.
But you can choose another option for painting the crown, which will complement the costume of Koshchei the Immortal. You can decorate a cardboard crown with your own hands using foil. We have a beautiful shiny crown, which is recommended to be decorated with rhinestones or one voluminous stone.
Felt masks
Felt is a very convenient material for making a mask. It is easy to cut and comes in a variety of colors.
What masks are made from felt:
- bat – use felt in black or any other color. The contour is drawn from the wrong side of the material, the workpiece is cut out. Eye holes are cut, all edges are sewn on a sewing machine with a contrasting thread, and ties are sewn on the sides;
- dragon - consists of two symmetrical parts of light green color and one darker one on the top. All parts are glued or stitched together to create the desired structure. Then the dragon’s nostrils and eyebrows are cut out from black felt and glued on;
- smiley - using a compass, draw a circle on paper a little larger than the face, outline it on yellow felt. Afterwards, the contours of the eyes and a smile expressing a certain emotion are glued onto it.
The mask size for an adult man will be larger than for a small boy or girl.
Articulated Paper Skeleton - Fun Halloween Craft
Hello friends! At the end of October, many countries around the world celebrate Halloween , a holiday with rich traditions and mystical roots. And although in Russia the attitude towards this holiday is very ambiguous, in recent years it has become increasingly popular among the younger generations of Russians. After all, Halloween is a great reason to have fun, joke, slightly scare each other and, of course, make fun crafts for the holiday with your own hands.
Hello, in this tutorial I will show you how to make a Skeleton - Frame from wire. I spent a long time developing this Skeleton frame for the Character's body. You will need small and large pliers, you will also need wire of different sizes, thin, medium, and thick. Well, let's get started. Take a thick wire and bend it “as in the photo”; these will be the hips. Bite off the excess, trim with a hammer, and you're done. Now we make the shoulders, take the thick wire again and bend it as in the photo. Bite off excess and trim with a hammer. Shoulders should be wider than hips. Making the Back (Spine), take the middle Wire and make Hooks (Rings) as in the photo. This is how we make the spine using a chain. Making the neck, look at the photo. Now we make the legs. We look at the length of the legs, it is best to measure with a ruler. Let's look at the photo. We wind additional wire and bite off the excess. The first leg is ready. We do the second leg in the same way as the first. We measure so that the legs are the same length. Now we wrap the legs with additional wire, this is necessary to make it more convenient to move the Character’s Body. We make the feet, make sure that the feet do not come out backwards. We twist, measure, all the legs are ready. We do the Arms, almost the same as the legs. We measure with a ruler so that the hands are the same size, and we wind additional wire. All Hands are almost ready. We make a palm as in the photo. We take a thin wire and wrap it around our palm in such a way “Look at the photo” that we get knuckles. Now Fingers, do it as in the photo, a bit difficult, small, do this for each finger. We also do the second Palm. We bend and attach the finished palms to the hands. If you want, the frame can be hardened on fire in order for the frame to become stronger, we harden it like this - “You will need a gas stove, turn on the burner, and just a little bit we harden the frame on fire, lightly bring it up, burn it, don’t overdo it!” Skeleton frame is ready. I hope I helped you at least a little. I wish you success.
