Halloween Costume Helpers: Monster Gloves

Such a simple way to create just the right hands for your costume - use gloves and decorate appropriately. Art Projects for Kids created these as monster hands and I think they would be great as werewolf hands (paws?) too!

Lots of great ideas for homemade costumes here; have fun!
