Coolest Edward Scissorhand Costume

My twelve year old son wanted to have an Edward Scissorhand costume for Halloween, So I started looking for ideas to make it happen. We went to thrift stores and found some leather belts and a leather jacket.

I bought a black pirates wig since he is a blond and doesn’t care for the color hair spray in his hair. I found a template online for the blades on his hands and cut them out of foam core. We painted them and glued them on to a pair of stretch gloves. I added a little white face paint, black lipstick and a few scars and he was Edward Scissorhand. We went to a community party and everyone loved him.

We thought about putting him dress pants with a slashed white shirt and suspenders and we still might do that on Halloween. We live in Arizona and he was rather sweaty when we got home from the party. This would be a great costume for a little cooler climate.
