Creepy DIY Rotting Pumpkin Costume

This is quite a complicated Halloween costume. But it is worth it. You can start by making the skirt. Pretty simple. You just need to use some brown tulle and then cut the edges up to make it very jagged. Buy a cheap pumpkin prop and tear the orange netting off. Then, attach it around the waist of the skirt.  You can sew fake leaves and orange string lights under the first layer of tulle. Next, sew vines around the skirt.  The shirt is just a green bodysuit from Amazon but you can sew orange and brown patches on it.

Next, you can use instamorph moldable plastic to make my stem, fingernails and maggots to put in the rotting spots. Moulded and twisted the fingernails to make them have the appearance of tree branches. Then painted them both using non-toxic paint. You can take an old pair of brown compact boots and thread some vines and raffia around them.

The last prop that is being made was the farmers head on a stake. Paint the mask flesh-toned, stuff a beanie and wrap the mask around that. Glued a fake eye in one socket and used a hot glue gun to create the look of the missing eye in the other and stuck a pumpkin carving knife in the missing eye socket. Used an old cowboy hat and the hair of an old wig to compete with the farmer look.  You can use latex to make the rotting spots and also apply the maggots. You can use the latex and make holes in the arms to stick random pieces of vines in to make it appear they were growing out of you. Then, use the latex to form the pumpkin carvings around your face and to attach your stem. Next, use body paint and paint the whole body orange to make you look like a real pumpkin. For the rotting spots, you can paint the inside black and brown and used KY Jelly to give it a gooey rotting appearance. Lastly, glue some moss around the horn and add an orange wig with some moss attached. Here you go! Your pumpkin Halloween costume and looks are ready!
