To assemble your Edward Scissorhand costume you first need t start with a picture of him to go off of. Next you need to purchase a black wig that matches close to his and perform styling to it by combing it and using hair spray to get it as close as you can to the Edward Scissorhand look.

For the outfit Edward wore two different costumes, a black leather suit covered with buckles and a white dress shirt with gray pants. The white dress shirt is the easiest look to go for, but if you wish to do the black leather suit outfit then you must get a black turtleneck and black leather pants. Fasten black belts over the outfit where the picture has them located. For the Second look you should cut up a dress shirt to show the black turtle neck underneath, and a plain pair of gray dress pants will work. Cut black suspenders, and reattach them with safety pins to the pants.

Pale makeup should be used for the face, making sure to cover the lips as well. Use the eyeliner on your eyes, and make scars by using white eyeliner and gray eyeliner placing the line side by side to create a shadow highlight. Use the lipstick to give Edward a pouting mouth look.
