California Costumes Medusa Wig

Product Information

The points at which the top edge come together should be connected to each other by draping arches of fabric, revealing the skin of your shoulders and arms in between each spot. Do not overlap the fabric into a single straight, solid line over your arms. You could also add a wave to your hair using braids. Braid your hair into multiple pigtails and wear the braids overnight, or at least for several hours before the event. Unravel the braids and comb them lightly to separate them into waves. The more braids you use, the wavier your hair will be. So, ready to make a grand entrance this Halloween? Try one of the fantastic homemade costumes here!

Step 4: Dress Up in Green

Create beach waves by applying a thorough coating of hair gel to your hair. Working in sections, push the tips of your hair to the base of your head, allowing the hair to fold on itself as you work. The gel will continue to look wet even after it dries, but it will hold waves for a few hours. Spray hair with green hairspray. For added drama, consider adding layers of tulle or chiffon to your dress, creating a flowing effect reminiscent of snake scales. This will give your costume an extra wow factor and make you truly stand out from the crowd. Step 5: Apply Your Makeup

Once you have your green wig ready, it's time to style it. Separate the hair into several sections and start curling them using a curling iron or hot rollers. Once curled, use your fingers to separate and tease the curls, giving them a more wild and untamed look. Step 4: Dress Up in Green The snake headpiece is a crucial part of any Medusa costume. To create this, start by wrapping the plastic snake headband around your head or attaching the rubber snakes to a plain headband using hot glue. Make sure they are secure before moving on. Wrap the fabric around you. The folded portion should be just below your arms, and one side should be open.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

In addition, crafting these hideously gorgeous DIY costumes can go in so many different ways. Take it as beautiful or as frightening as you like. Discover the clever construction ideas here and add your own design flair. Fasten the fabric at your shoulders. Bring up enough of the fabric on both sides so that it overlaps on each shoulder. Hold it in place by knotting it or by fastening it with decorative brooches or safety pins. Use white material, like a sheet, that is twice the length of your arm span and equal to your height. For a shorter chiton, use material that is a little shorter than your height.

Now that your headpiece and wig are ready, it's time to dress up in all things green. Choose a flowing green dress or robe that gives off an ethereal vibe, resembling Medusa's mythical origins.
