My daughter decided to be a Zombie girl this Halloween. Particularly the Zombie girl from the 1st episode of The Walking Dead Season One series.

She was a frightening site as she walked through the parking lot. To be honest it was a last minute decision but we were able to make it work.

The advantage to being a Zombie is that you can easily create a costume from old clothing and make-up. We got old pajamas, a teddy bear and Halloween make-up ready.

Here’s a few tips to help you if you should decide on a Zombie costume.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR ZOMBIE COSTUME

  • Use white face paint as your base. Spread it evenly on the face going a bit into the neck and blend it in
  • Use some black paint to create dark circles around the eyes giving her a sunken look. Put some streaks of red paint and then add some fake blood. Once it’s a little dry use some of the black paint on the red streaks to add an accent making it look like dried up blood from previous feedings.
  • We added some streaks of blood to the top part of her pajama top. The teddy bear is a nice addition giving her an innocent but frightening look.
