How to Make a Mother Nature Maternity Halloween Costume
- 1). Put on the white pants and white tank top or t-shirt. Pull the top up to expose your pregnant belly, or cut a hole in the front of the shirt so your belly can poke through without pulling the shirt up.
- 2). Paint your exposed belly to look like the Earth seen from space. Use a photograph of the Earth for reference. Draw a black line around your exposed belly to outline the Earth. Use black to outline the continents. Fill in the continents with green paint and the ocean with blue paint. Use black to add shading and details. Use a dry bristle brush to add white wispy clouds around the Earth sphere.
- 3). Lay on your back and allow the belly body paint to dry as long as possible. Keep your shirt pulled up to avoid any smearing. Spray hairspray on the belly paint to help it set and dry quicker.
- 4). Drape the sheet around your shoulders like a cape. Cut armholes lower down the sheet to allow your arms more freedom, but leave long flowing sleeves around them. Fasten the sheet in front, near your neck, with safety pins. Be sure the front of the robe opens to reveal Mother Nature's Earth belly. Arrange the long flowing back pieces so they fall behind you as you walk.
- 5). Glue silk leaves and flowers (or real ones) down the back of the robe. Make a wreath for your hair or pin them into your hair. If you do not have long hear, buy a long-haired costume wig in any hair color. Weave natural elements into the long hair. Wear simple flip-flops and use simple makeup and cosmetic glitter on your face and in your hair to complete the ethereal Mother Nature look.
