Makeup

  1. Pumpkin: paint a small friendly smile or a tiny nose in orange or black.
  2. Cat: draw a small nose and three whiskers on each cheek with eyeliner or face paint.
  3. Ghost: skip makeup, or add tiny rosy cheeks.

Hair: Tie long hair back under the sheet for the ghost. Keep hair off the face so ears and hats sit well.

How to put it together

  1. Person 1 puts on the orange top and black trousers.
  2. Person 2 drapes the sheet over their head and checks the eye holes.
  3. Person 3 wears all black and fits the cat ears.
  4. Add makeup and optional extras, then grab a treat bag together.

Two variations

  • Spooky Trio

    Paint jack-o'-lantern faces on everyone and carry a small lantern-style bag.

  • Candy Trio

    Swap the colors for bright candy shades, with glittery tops and colorful tights.

Safety note

Cut sheet eye holes big enough to see clearly and trim the hem above the ankles. Use skin-safe face paint with a patch test, and stay together near roads at night.
