Halloween Goblin makeup Clash of Clans inspired by both the Goblin and Goblin King an Green Goblin. I used a latex nose and ears and a skull cap. I painted a green face using water based face paint in a crayon form.

I think this is a cool costume idea for kids and something that parents could do. I would have put the skull cap and nose on before painting his face green.

This is a great step by step tutorial for boys and girls who like to be scary. You only need a rainbow cake, in this case we used Global FunStroke Taupo, White face paint (we used Global Liquid White because it is extra white), a round brush (we used a Mark Reid Number 4) and a flat brush (#4 is good).

Attending a convention is a great way to meet other entertainers and learn new skills. However, you should review the cancellation policy before paying to register for a convention. A recent debate on a balloon group on FaceBook revealed that some convention organizers do NOT allow people to sell or transfer their registration if they cannot attend. I understand that organizers may not be able to offer a refund, but they should allow people to give their registration away so that someone else can take advantage of the money that was already paid to attend the convention.
