Butterfly Snapchat filter costume

1. Make a Snapchat shirt

Grab some adhesive white felt and trace the Snapchat logo on the back of it. Then cut it out. Next, go in with a black sharpie and outline the outside of your decal. Finish by peeling off the backing and sticking it on a yellow shirt.

2. Paint the butterflies

Get some plastic butterflies and spray paint them yellow on both sides. 

3. Attach the clip

Once the paint has dried, apply some hot glue on the back of each one and stick on a bobby pin or other clip.

Clip the butterflies into your hair on both sides in random formations and you are a Snapchat butterfly filter!

You could also add some glitter to your hair and makeup as well as a little bit of white to your lips to get the authentic filter look.

Teddy bear

1. Apply foundation

Apply some very light foundation (or just a mix of white face paint and your regular foundation) in a circular shape around your chin-to-nose area as well as under your eyes.

2. Apply bronzer

Apply some bronzer to the part of your cheeks that you didn’t put the foundation to create some contrast between the white and the rest of your face.

3. Draw stitches

Take some eyeliner and draw stitches starting from the top of your forehead all the way down to your chin. Also, outline your cupid’s bow a little bit.

4. Draw hair

Then outline the white facepaint by creating some small hairlike strokes with black eyeliner all the way to the ends of your brows.

Next, go in with some brown eyeshadow and go over all of the black hairs to create some more depth and some lowlights.

Then go in with some white face paint on a small brush and add some white hairs which will add some highlights.

5. Thicken your brows

Apply some brown pomade to extend your brows to make them look hairier.

6. Color your nose

As for the nose, take a black jumbo eye pencil and draw a small black part at the bottom of your nose.

7. Color your top lip

Fill in your top lip with black eyeliner.

There we have it! 

Style your hair in two high buns to represent ears with a bow in one of them. For the outfit, you can wear anything that is brown, gray, or fluffy. I’m wearing a furry necklace that is perfect for this look.

Raining cats and dogs

1. Attach animals to the umbrella

Tie some string around your animals and tie the other end of the string onto one of the prongs on the umbrella. Repeat this all around the umbrella.

To complete the look, pop on a rain jacket and some rain boots. 

I think this is a really funny outfit!

Google search costume

1. Print of picture

Take a picture of a google search that has ‘last-minute Halloween costumes’ as the suggestion. Then print it off backward onto iron-on transfer paper.

2. Iron picture onto top

Follow the directions on the back of your transfer paper for how to iron it onto your white t-shirt.

Here is the finished look and I know that this one is going to get a lot of laughs when people see it!
