The four-in-one Mount Rushmore costume will be sure to make an impression as you walk around on Halloween. It would be unusual to see a two-in-one costume or a three-in-one costume, but to see four people joined together may be shocking to anyone who opens the door after you ring the bell.

Easy Mount Rushmore Set -Up

Take a king-sized sheet and cut four holes in it, big enough for you and three of your friends to put your heads through. You can set up a the effect by each of you dressing up as the four presidents on Mount Rushmore. As George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, you will need wigs, white powder and makeup.

One-Person Setup

The one-person setup involves constructing your own costume with paper mache. The point of this costume is that you will make your own mold of Mount Rushmore and form the heads of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. You will leave a blank spot for Roosevelt and stick your own head through that spot. Use powder, makeup and glasses to match Roosevelt's look on Mount Rushmore.

Alternative Mount Rushmore

A more unique take on a Mount Rushmore Halloween costume involves substituting Hall-of-Fame football coach Mike Ditka for Thomas Jefferson. This means you have Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt along with Ditka on your Mount Rushmore. This is just one alternative. You can use your favorite movie star, athlete, late-night talk-show host or politician as the fourth face of Mount Rushmore.
