HALLOWEEN part 2 Ecoween

Stay eco with this Halloween post.


Costumes
1.Makeing them is fun and gives a garanty that it did not get flown in and that the worker(you)was paid well(okay maby not but u wanted to do it).Check out www.threadbanger.com for lots of diy Costume ideas.All recycled from pieces of clothing.
2.Buy or use an old one(or steal your brothers costume).

Make-up
Did you know?
In one little pot of halloween make-up there is up to 1500 cemicals!!!!

So buy CAREFULLY¨!!

Or just make your own:(all from http://superecolog.blogspot.com)
1. General face paint: 1 tsp corn starch, 1/2 tsp water, 1/2 tsp cold cream, 2 drops food coloring. Mix well

Or be creative:(my ideas again)
1.dont wash your hair and die in ribbons=dead look

Deco
1.Reuse stuff from last year
2. make things out of recycled matierials
