Every costume I had as a kid was based around a bin bag! Wanted to be a witch? Cut arm holes in a bin bag and put on a witch's hat. Wanted to be a cat? Cut arm holes in a bin bag and have Christmas tinsil as a tail. Gotta love the inventiveness of the 80s!

I dressed my son as a Mummy, i tore sheets in shreds and stapled them together as i wrapped them around him, unfortunately i stapled a few bits to his skin by mistake on a few occasions in the rush of it all so ther was no real need for the fake blood as there was plenty of the real stuff, and if his bandages were unwrapped from his face his face would have won any halloween competition, what a cruel mother lol x
