...gets the biggest laughs trick-or-treating with the kids and earlier today at the Halloween parade.
I didnt have money for a costume this year. I originally planned to be Bellatrix Lestrange. But lack of $$ plus severe lack of time, left me needing to be creative.
So I decided to just put on my school uniform (chef jacket & pants) and go around as a chef. But then it hit me... instead of just any chef, I was gonna be something gross or scary. So I needed a little blood, and maybe one of those headbands that make you look like you have a knife in your head. but I couldn't find one of those at the store. Nor could I find fake blood that would not stain (my chef jacket is white).
So I went home and found a no-stain fake-blood recipe online. Dishsoap (any color), food coloring and a little cornsyrup (which i already had all the items at home). Made the mix, and splattered it all over my jacket and had my kids and BF's kids make bloody handprints on the back.
I then found a stuffed fox that looked pretty real (was in storage... an old HS boyfriend had given it to me). I slathered HIM with the fake blood and made his fur all matted. I then took and typed up a tag that said "RoadKill Cafe-You Kill It We Grill It!" and put it over the school logo on my jacket. I also found a 'menu' with all the RoadKill Cafe items on it and printed a bunch out.
Every time I got a question or someone looked at my 'tag' & 'fresh kill', i gave them one of the 'menus'.
My cost was absolutely $0! Well, unless you count the cost of the uniform which is included in the $42k in tuition I am forking over to the school, lol!
If I can get a picture, I will post it.
