You Will Need (9 things)

  • Green Dress
  • Green Tights
  • Red Shoes
  • Branches and leaves of real or fake Ivy
  • Red Felt
  • Green Glitter Glue
  • Red Hair Spray
  • Green Hair Spray
  • Bindis

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    To make the leafy eyebrows, I made a paper template and then traced around it on to red felt.

  2. 2

    I flipped the template over and cut out two identical eyebrows.

  3. 3

    I added a bit of detail with a green glitter glue pen. When dry, I attached them to my eyebrows with eyelash glue.

  4. 4

    I sprayed my hair with red hairspray and then gave myself green streaks. To get the Uma Thurman style horns at either side. I wrapped my hair around the lids from hairspray bottles and then pinned the hair in place. I also pinned a few real ivy leaves into my hair.

  5. 5

    For my makeup, I used red and glittery green eyeshadow on my eyes with fake eyelashes. Gave myself bright red glittery lips and finished the look off with green bindis on my eyes and cheeks.

  6. 6

    I wore a bright green dress with green tights and sparkly red shoes. I took a few branches of real ivy and tied them around myself.
