How many holes does Charlie Brown have in his ghost costume in the great pumpkin?

10 in the front, plus the 2 holes he actually is using for eyes, plus 1 in the back. There are 10 visible from the front side. Because you never see both sides at once, it is impossible to know if there are 10, 11, or 12 holes. (see related video clip showing 10)


How can I make a white ghost costume from home?

Of course, the easiest way to make a ghost costume is to take a white sheet and put it over your head, use a marker to designate where you will cut eye and mouth holes. Remove sheet and use scissors to cut out the holes. Another option for something a bit creepier would be to pick a favorite historical character and dress accordingly, use white foundation on your face and arms, and make ghost noises all night.

One of the simplest homemade costume ideas is a white ghost. For over a century, children and adults have made plain white ghost costumes from old sheets or a pieces of material. This basic idea is very appealing to anyone who wants to save money on a Halloween costume. Fortunately, there are a few ways to give this plain costume some extra style without spending a fortune.Princess GhostUse a plain white sheet or piece of material to make a simple ghost costume. Cut holes for the eyes and mouth. Use safety pins to fit it under the arms. Purchase a tiara and costume jewelry from a costume shop. These items are usually less than $15. Buy about two or three yards of tulle from a fabric shop. Use twine and a needle to cinch it into a skirt that fits around the waist of the ghost costume. Fasten it with safety pins, Velcro or a snap. Use markers or fabric paint to add eyelashes, rouge and lips to the face of the ghost costume.Beach Bum GhostFollow the directions in the previous paragraph to create a simple ghost costume. Purchase an old beach towel and sunglasses. Wrap the towel around the waist on the outside of the costume. If the costume will be worn at night, be sure to choose sunglasses that are not very dark. Women or girls who want to complete this costume may also draw a bikini top on the ghost or wear one on the outside. If desired, use bright fabric paints to create suntan lotion streaks on the cheeks, forehead and nose. It's best to wear sandals with this costume if the weather is decent.Cowboy GhostUse the instructions in the first example to create a simple ghost costume. Use fabric shears or sharp scissors to cut a fringe in the fabric under the arms. Cut along the entire length of the arm. If desired, cut a fringe along the bottom of the costume. Purchase a toy gun, holster and gun belt from a toy store or costume shop. Purchase a cowboy hat and boots. It's usually possible to find these items in a large thrift store for less than $20. Buy a cheap bandanna to complete the look.
