Questioning how we pulled off the epic DIY Headless Horseman costume at my Sleepy Hole occasion? My horse coach Karen (Shenanigan Stables) got here up with probably the most good, in costly costume and right here at The Rose Desk, we don’t gate preserve Halloween concepts. Right here’s make your very personal Headless horseman costume…Friesian mare not included. 😉
I used to be initially going to purchase a fancy dress for the episode however so lots of the Headless Horseman costumes available for purchase look fairly scary to journey in and ours was really going for use on a horse. I confirmed Karen the few DIY movies on the market (which largely concerned syrafoam and appeared terrifying to journey in) and she or he stated, I obtained this.

Her resolution was so easy – and CHEAP: pool noodles! She merely pinned a pool noodle on to a vest up and over each shoulders utilizing heavy obligation security pins and taped elements of one other noodles on the midway mark to kind shoulders. Now after all, you wish to make them excessive sufficient in order that they almost go as much as your head.
She wore black driving pants (however any black pants will do), tall black driving boots, and a big black button-down shirt that match over the pool noodles. She additionally wore a superb black cape and skeleton gloves.
However how does she see, she may ask? She reduce eye holes into the shirt and had a sheer black scarf over head head to cover her hair. You couldn’t even inform! She was additionally driving my epic horse Wendy, who was BORN for this position.
My favourite factor about this costume is that it’s a lot extra protected than every other Headless Horseman costume I’ve seen, which prohibit your motion. She was capable of freely transfer her head underneath the costume and we couldn’t even inform! And particularly in the event you’re driving a horse, security is essential. As a substitute of getting big styrafoam items that would damage you in a fall, right here there are simply pool noodles. Completely GENIUS!
Final however actually not least, she painted her OWN jack-o-lantern face onto a small pumpkin and drilled a gap within the backside. She inserted a screwdriver and had a straightforward solution to carry a light-weight pumpkin on my horse. In case you recreate this unbelievable costume for Halloween, please tag @therosetable!
