Dracula costume

You can make a simple vampire dress up at home without too much fuss. Your child will love this spooky Dracula dress up idea for Halloween or dress up games.

What you need:

• 1 homemade no-sew cape
• homemade Halloween face paints
• black pants
• white shirt
• 1 set of plastic vampire teeth (from the $2 shop)

Number of players:
1

Activity:

While Dracula looks fancy, his costume is a simple combination of a black cape and some signature face painting.

The video below shows you how to create a no-sew cape for your Dracula costume:

For the face painting, mix up some black and white paints from our homemade face paint recipe here.

How to create your Dracula costume

Use a makeup sponge to do an all-over base of white first.

Now fill in a widow’s peak, sideburns and some ‘walking dead’ black around the eyes. Dramatic eyebrows are another Dracula signature, so give that a go too.

If you want to make him really creepy, add a few dribbles of blood coming out of his mouth.

Now add a pair of black pants, a white shirt (if you have them, if not just drape the cape over the clothes underneath) and some vampire teeth.

And remember, Dracula is always dramatic: he enters and exits a room with flair!
