Headless Girl Costume

My daughter Hannah is wearing the costume. We came up with the idea after first trying to put her head in a jar. The added hands and knife looked more realistic and was more comfortable. She wore an adult sized jacket that is stuffed with bags. We also used a turtleneck and bookbag stuffed with bags to help with shape. The arms were safety pinned to the jacket and we added yarn to help hold them up. The hands were halloween decorations that were meant to be put in the ground. The neck we made from styrofoam that was painted. A layer of liquid latex was also added to make it look more realistic. Finally, we added fake blood and makeup to her face.
