Berserkers were viking warriors who were famed and feared for their recklessness and for being the most barbaric and feared warriors of all time. Now you dress like a berserker for Halloween or special dress event. Don't forget to add the crazy sound effects as you go!
Steps
- Purchase some fake fur. Buy enough fake fur to reach from your head to your knees. Preferably it'll be like wolf fur or bear fur.
- Go to your local party store and visit the Halloween or fancy dress section. Buy a wolf or a bear mask that is like a hat since it shouldn't cover your whole face
- Sew them to connect the mask to the fake fur. Then make two small holes in the fur so you can add string to make it into a cape.
- Construct a tomahawk. Use heavy duty cardboard for the design of a tomahawk. Paint with silver paint for the metallic part and a black handle.
- Make a shield. Use heavy duty cardboard to make a shield. Paint viking designs onto the shield.
- Do a little brief training before heading to the party. Practice running and screaming like a madman. Wield the fake tomahawk and shield wildly, as a berserker would. Then get out there and go berserk!
Tips
- Get a group of of people to become berserkers - a group of you turning up to a fancy dress party can be a real scene stealer.
- Watch Erik the Viking for a good example of a humorous berserker in action.
