Grim Reaper Costume for Cosplay & Halloween
How to Make a Grim Reaper Costume
| # | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Robe, cloak, black | The robe of a Grim Reaper is arguably the most important piece in the costume. The robe should be very long with long hanging sleeves and a hood. |
| 2 | Mask, skeleton, reaper | Some reaper costumes include a mask, like this one. The skeleton face is very reminiscent of death and adds more of a scary element to the costume. |
| 3 | Gloves, creepy, costume | Wear these gloves pulled up tight under the sleeves of your robe. These gloves will make your hands look dead and decaying. |
| 4 | Scythe, costume | This scythe is another important part of your costume. Most reaper costumes include a scythe as legend has it, reapers collect souls with their scythes. |
| 5 | Chain, silver, long | Attach this silver chain around your waist to give your costume some accessories. The chain gives the costume a nice effect, and can be a creepy item due to the clanking sound. |
| 6 | Boots, combat | Boots aren’t necessarily the most important part, but these are some really cool and edgy boots that will make your costume stand out. |
| 7 | Full Costumes | Full costumes for men, women & kids in various mashups |
When you think of grim reaper, right away most people think of black cloak and scythe. The black cloak and scythe of the grim reaper are of course, important parts of the costume, but there are several other accessories you can add like a spooky skeleton mask, and a long silver chain around your waist to add creepiness.
The grim reaper costume should be very dark and scary, but can be also made to look stylish while also being horrific.
Other cool items included in this grim reaper costume are a pair of gloves that can make your hands look decayed and perfect for a grim reaper. Boots are another part of the costume that, though may be covered by the robe most of the time, should still be edgy and cool, like the ones included in the costume.
