This book contains everything you need to create fun costumes—perfect for dress up days at school or home! There's a huge variety of fun faces and outfits to choose from: go for a wild animal, and transform into a prowling tiger; a magical Snow Queen or scare your friends with a freaky Alien, or a scary Witch. Clear, step-by-step photographic instructions mean that all the faces and costumes are easy to follow and try, plus there are tips and suggestions for ways to tweak the designs. The costumes use materials you are likely to find at home—a great way to reuse and recycle bits and pieces.   All projects use a set color palette and are carefully chosen to appeal to girls and boys alike. Complete face painting steps are included along with costume instructions. Readers of all abilities can get stuck in as each project is graded with a difficulty rating of 1 to 5. A "techniques and materials" section outlines everything you need to start face painting and costume making. Tips and techniques are described so you can practice your painting skills before you begin. This book is sure to provide hours of fun!
