How to Make a Fortune Teller Costume for Halloween or a Party

Does your tween need a costume for a party or for Halloween? A fortune teller costume is easy to assemble and fun to wear.

Supplies You'll Need to Make a Fortune Teller Costume

A long skirt (such as a peasant skirt or a broom skirt)

A peasant shirt or something similar, the poofier the better

A solid-color vest, brightly colored

A bandana

A long scarf

Black shoes and black stockings (or leggings)

Mardi gras beads (or several long necklaces in different colors

Plastic rings

Have your tween dress in the skirt, shirt, vest, leggings and shoes. Add the jewelry, and knot the scarf around her waist. A fortune teller costume demands a bandana, tied on the side of the head. Or, wrap her hair in a hand towel and secure above the forehead with a large broach.

If your tween needs a prop, she can pass out Tarot cards, or she can offer to read the palms of her friends.
