A traditional looking choker or a long and flowing necklace, both would look good with your costume.Earrings with feathers or even dream catchers can also be a fetching touch.Rawhide or leather necklaces would look much better than metal necklaces.

Accessory No. 3- Face Paint

Face paint shouldn’t really be overdone, it should be used artistically, like a few bold red stripes across the cheek bones to give your Native Indian costume the complete effect. You can use a simple cream blush stick or rouge to accomplish this look, or you can opt for a tube of face paint from your local costume shop.

Accessory No. 4-Fake weaponry and props

If your child’s toy chest doesn’t have them already, it’s usually easy to find a set of Indian toy props like a tomahawk, peace pipe and small plastic knife at a local toy shop. A fake bow and arrow set is also a good accessory to buy. To complete your character’s look, foam-tipped arrows are a must have, and they can be great party favors too.
