Presenting The Wizard of Oz Office Cast

Once again I was able to convince my team to dress up to go along with the office Halloween theme (See my previous post).

Since my desk was in Munchkin City, I decided to represent the Lollipop Guild. This is a store bought costume, however, I made the munchkin wig.

Materials:  bald cap, human hair extensions, super glue, scissors, hair curlers or flatirons, super extra hold hair spray, hair pin, spirit gum, and foundation makeup.

The step are simple really.

1. Put on the cap and cut around the ears & neck.
2. Put the cap on a mannequin head. 
3. Glue the hair extensions around it.
4. Cut a hole  in the center to pull your hair through.
5. Use the hair curlers and hair spray so the curls hold.
6. Put the cap on and pull portion of your hair through the hole with a hair pin.
7. Use spirit gum to secure the cap on your head.
8. Use hair spray, then curl your hair straight up.
9. Use makeup to blend bald area with your face skin tone.
10. DONE!

Lesson learned - buy an extra bald cap.  cut too much off the first one.

The Wizard of Oz Office Transformation

This year my partner in crime at work and I decided to go away from our usual scary décor traditions for Halloween in the office. We wanted to do something cute that everyone could enjoy, so we transformed our department into The Wizard of Oz.

 
The tornado was made with cardboard and black yarn. Pictures of the house, cow, and other things from the movie was added.

 

 Cardboard, spray paint, craft paint, and fake flowers were used to create Munchkinland. We found several big boxes in the mailroom that were going to be thrown away....lucky us!  For the yellow brick road, I bought a plastic tablecloth runner from Amazon. It took many, many hours for me to draw the lines for the bricks, but it turned out great.

 

                

 

This is my supervisor's door that we used as the house that fell on the Wicked Witch of the East.  She was a great sport about it. I used crepe paper that I found in one of the boxes. I balled it up to give it that old rundown look. The legs were purchased from Amazon.

 

 The fence and arrows are made from a poster board. (Shout out to my co-worker's husband, Steve, for drawing the fence for us).

 

The poppies for the poppy field were very fun to make although it took a few hours.

 

 

  

We're off to see the wizard!

 

 

Emerald City - I draped green fabric cover a privately screen. We had a little fun making another co-worker the "wizard".
