You can of course purchase your otfit for the big event by visiting your locah high street or searching online. However, we also want to give you some ideas for how to customise your own zombie outfits. It's eco AND budget friendly and you're still guarenteed to look the part.
Customising your old clothes is a great activity to do with your family and/or friends. All you have to do is pick out old items of clothing or clothes you no longer wear and use some of the techniques we're about to share with you to make them look perfect for gateshead Thrill Day. However, if you don't want to use your own clothing, you can pick up some items from your local charity shop or borrow some from a friend or family member.
There area number of techniques you can use to customise your own zombie outfit. Here we have a tutorial using a serated knife and dye mixed with water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1WgMTiFJsE
However, you don't have to use these speciic products. You could use a pari os scissors to cut holes or slits outof your clothes and the water can be mixed with food colouring to create the mould and/or blood.
Goodwill Industries also have some good techniques for customising your own zombie outfits using paints and coffee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAn5C_TB7fc.
If you don't have paint in your house, felt tips can also work or makeup. Products like red lipstick as well as red and brown eye shadows will look very effective. And don't worry ifyou don't have your own tarp, you can use old newspapers or magazines.
