Cheap Jesus Costumes - Look Heavenly

Halloween only comes around once each year, so choosing a good costume is important. Most people choose a common costume from a store, but there are ways to create a costume without spending excessive amounts of money. Dressing up as Jesus is one character choice that will be affordable and unique.

Costumes with Jesus as the theme may easily be made, as most people are able to find the majority of needed materials at home. To add more detail, a trip to a costume accessory shop or craft store may be needed. This article will discuss the different ways to achieve the look of Jesus for Halloween, with options for every budget; also the advantages of dressing as Jesus for social outings.

Jesus is portrayed in the Bible and most photos as a man with shoulder-length brown hair, a full beard, wearing a mid-calf lenght white robe and sandals. In some pictures he is portrayed wearing a blue sash with this ensemble also.

The Bible references Jesus as a shepherd also, so in some instances he is pictured with a large staff, or rugged stick, in his hand.

In historical recordings, Jesus was crucified on a cross, resulting in some pictures portraying him with holes in his feet and the palms of his hands. In addition to the holes, he often is seen wearing a crown of thorns that the Romans put on his head when they placed him on the cross.

Those who are on a tight budget will find this costume character choice to be very inexpensive to create. A simple Jesus costume may be achieved by drawing a beard on with markers or makeup. Those who are able to find an inexpensive wig will be able to add this to the ensemble.

An old white sheet may be used as the robe to save money. By draping the sheet around one's self creatively and tying it with a cord or blue piece of material, a person will easily achieve the look. Sandals may be worn with the costume if desired. Another option for this costume is to wear a white bathrobe, if the person already owns one.

Detail Can Be Key For A Costume

If a more detailed costume is desired, a person may choose to purchase a white robe or sheet as their costume; purchasing material and sewing a costume is also an option.

A strip of royal blue-colored material should be purchased from a fabric store for the sash, which is draped over one shoulder and hangs at the opposite side's hip.

Brown simple sandals in the popular Gladiator style make an appropriate addition to the costume.

Holes may be added to the hands and feet for those who want to add a shocking effect.In order to make realistic-looking holes, a person should consult an online makeup guide for wounds and purchase an appropriate makeup kit from a costume store.

Also a costume beard and wig should be purchased to complete the costume.

Those who want a more emphasized Jesus costume for Halloween should purchase a short twig garland at a craft store. The twig garland may be used to wrap around the head as a crown of thorns, fastened with twine.

As mentioned above, holes may be created on the hands and feet with an appropriate makeup kit. To add a more realistic look with the thorny twig crown, puncture marks may be painted on the forehead.

Another choice for parties where blood or wounds may be too offensive, one may dress as Jesus the Shepherd. Any method mentioned above for creating the clothing, sandals, hair and beard that fits within one's budget should be used.

A large stick may either be purchased at a craft store or some larger costume stores.

Those who are watching their budget may simply find a large branch outdoors and remove smaller branches and twigs from it. If the person has a friend or child who will be accompanying them, they may choose to wrap that person in a wool blanket and paint whiskers and an animal nose on their face, giving them the look of a sheep. This will provide a good consideration for those who plan to enter a paired costume contest. Have Fun!
