Walk the night as a zombie with our printable zombie mask
Will you join the legion of the undead on the night of the 31st? This zombie mask is reminiscent of the classic Frankenstein's monster.
- Scout out an old pair of black trousers, white shirt and black suit jacket (one of dad’s old ones will do!)
- With adult supervision, take a pair of sharp scissors and cut the trousers at knee length in a zig-zag pattern - do the same to the hem of the white shirt and suit jacket
- Let the jacket and shirt hang over the trousers to create the dishevelled zombie look
- To finish, use either red lipstick or face paint to put blood stains over the shirt
- Team with the zombie mask and your scary look is complete!

Get the skeleton crew together with our printable skeleton mask
Perhaps you'd rather play dead than undead. If that's the case, this skeleton mask is going to be perfect for you!
- All you need for a wonderful skeleton outfit is an all-black outfit and some white felt (this can be picked up easily at any craft shop)
- With adult supervision, use a pair of scissors to cut out some bone shapes from the felt and tack them with a needle and thread to the black clothes
- Proceed to add the skeleton mask and you're now ready to go trick-or-treating!

Pick the printable pumpkin mask for a spooky Halloween
If those last two masks are a little too spooky for you, why not return to a Halloween classic? The humble pumpkin.
The pumpkin outfit is the easiest to create of them all!
- Find a pair of green tights, leggings or trousers and a green top (it looks best if both shades of green are similar)
- Add the pumpkin mask and the pumpkin transformation is complete - if you are struggling to find green clothes opt for black ones instead and you can still create a great look!

Try trick-or-treating as a vampire with our printable vampire mask
One of the favourites from our list! With this DIY outfit, you can have fun swooping around the house, flicking your cape behind you and talking like a vampire.
- To start creating your vampire costume you will need a pair of black trousers and a white shirt or blouse to tuck in
- You will then need to make a cape - this can be easily done with a black bin liner
- If you want to get creative, spice up the cape with some added decorations and details too
- Add the vampire mask and you’re ready to prowl the streets at night, hunting for sweets and chocolate!

Dress up for the witching hour with our printable witch mask
Cackling, casting spells and flying around on broomsticks, the witch is a fantastic costume for every Halloween!
- Find an old black dress at a charity shop (it can be any style) and cut along the bottom hem in a zig-zag pattern
- Pair the dress with colourful tights and black shoes, add a witch’s hat and the witch mask and the look is complete!
