This year we had 4/5ths homemade costumes.
Jackson was a Mad Scientist
Molly was Medusa
Grant was Superman
Tommy was a mummy
When Molly told me she wanted to be Medusa - I had no idea how to do the snakes. I asked around everywhere and everyone. I had a one neighbor tell me he used to spike his mohawk with elmers glue. We tried it and it didn't really work. Another neighbor told me she used to use unflavored gelatin (Knox). We tried it and it worked so totally great!! I mixed the gelatin slightly stronger than the package suggests. Then I took a section of hair ran some gelatin through it and twisted and rolled it on sponge rollers. It takes a few hours to set up. It turns out really crunchy and hard. The extra cool thing is that it washes right out!!!
