Make Your Own Punk Rocker Halloween Costume
Begin by cutting up your jeans with scissors, focusing on the knees and the area just under the rear of the jeans. Pull at the holes to create a worn look and smear dirt so that the jeans look broken in. Next, use your iron-on transfer letters to spell out the name of your favorite punk rock band or use a classic punk rock catchphrase like “Anarchy in the UK!” or simply “Oi!”. Finally, place the letters face-down on your shirt and gently iron to create your punk t-shirt.
Dress in your punk rock t-shirt, combat boots and jeans and wear your dog collar around your neck, ensuring a comfortable fit. Create a punk rock hairdo by fashioning your hair into a “faux hawk” using hair gel and rubber bands. Spray your new hairdo with bright temporary hair dye and use water to transfer temporary tattoos to your arms. Finally, use black eyeliner to outline your eyes.
