Question by tweeties_angel_girl: Halloween costume (Homemade)?
Ok, so its a college halloween party. I was going to dress up as a little kid, but all of my stuff is summer attire and its outside bonfire. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don’t want to do anything bloody or gory but anything else is open. I don’t mind sexy but not slutty. I have to do this homemade because I don’t have alot of money, but I am going to goodwill to get the clothes. So any ideas?! Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by ♥ Sarny ♫
Go as a hippie!

Wear floral prints, denim or browny colours, have your hair straight and flowing a peace necklace and those little rounded glasses.

It’s good for outdoors as you can wear as many layers as you want but they have to be the same colour scheme.

Are you at a loss about what to do for your children’s Halloween costumes? Have a rummage in your cupbaords ! You doubtless have a heap of objects already up in the attic that you can bring into play for costumes children will adore to wear.

Here’s five trouble-free and cool Halloween costumes children can put on, and that you can make up out of clothes you either have in your attic, or from plain things you can sponge from friends or come across in a thrift store for next to nothing.

Pirate Children’s Costume

For boys, get hold of a big man’s shirt with buttons down the front. You can cut the ends of the sleeves ragged. For girls, you’ll get the same effect with a peasant blouse. Put on a vest overtop by cutting an old shirt. Boys can add loose pants, girls a skirt which has a ragged edge at the bottom. Have on boots, or just put on black shoes and make it look as if you have boots on by puting on black leg warmers and folding them over at the top. Add a bandana on the head, and a piece of fabric around the waist for a belt. Get loot bags with a skull and crossbones on them, or make your own from a pillow case.

Nerd Children’s Costume

One of the costumes children get a big thrill from wearing! Just wear clothes that are a bit too small, with too short cuffs and ‘flood’ pants pulled up too high. Button the shirt all the way to the top. White socks and black shoes, plus a pocket protector, complete the look. Gel the hair into a geeky style, and add a few zits with makeup. Use a backpack for their treat bag.

Gypsy Children’s Costume

So straightforward! For girls, a peasant blouse with layers of colorful skirts, sashes around their head and waist, and lots of jangly bling. For boys, a white shirt unbuttoned at the top to show lots of gold necklaces, plus loose-fitting pants tucked into a pair of boots and a sash around the head and waist. Decorate a pillow case with glitter, sequins and scarves for a loot bag.

Cowboy Children’s Costume

Chances are you’ve got jeans already… just add a plain button-up shirt, and tie a bandana around their neck or tuck one into their back pocket. You could find straw cowboy hats, western style vests and cowboy boots at most thrift stores. For a loot bag, use a paper bag with handles or a tin bucket.

Tourist Children’s Costume

This is an added fun costume children like wearing. Your kids probably have Bermuda shorts, or something roughly the same. Locate a Hawaiian shirt (I bet you’ve got one of these as well!) and add a sun visor, sandals with socks, and a few cameras around their neck. You can also stuff their pockets with travel brochures which you can get at any travel agent’s office. For more fun, give them a carry-on bag to use as their party bag!

Question by crimsonashes666: Cheap, Easy, Homemade Halloween Costume?
I just found out that I am taking my friend’s kids trick or treating on Saturday. I don’t have much money, so I can’t go out and buy a costume. Therefore, I need something that can be thrown together at home out of things one would commonly have laying around. It can’t be too scary because the kids are young. Any ideas? Also, how would I make your idea? Thank you.

Question by theadvicegirl2: Homemade halloween costume?
I’d like something that’s easy to sew, (I have a sewing machine) but won’t scare little kids. I’m fourteen. I was thinking a mime, but that would mean I wouldn’t need to sew anything. No, I’m not going trick-or-treating, but I’m handing out candy and I like dressing up. Any ideas?

Best answer:

Answer by ☆thumper203☆
What about Pocahontas or any Disney character.
I don’t think the Nightmare Before Christmas characters would scare the kids too much. What about the girl, Sally, her costume would be fun to make!

Question by Tina Mom: Best homemade halloween costume?
I need inspiration. Also, I don’t sew (well, I made a gym bag in middle school… ha.

I’m a writer (http://holiday-entertaining.suite101.com/article.cfm/sexy-halloween-costumes-for-women-maid-nurse-school-girl-more), so if you can give me real answers that would be wonderful.

I really have liked costumes made out of boxes (for parties, not sure I’d go out in the rain in a box costume. Also, if you want to help me brainstorm sexy costumes, I’m in the midst of writing a series. I’ve been writing about kids back to school fashion and I needed to change the pace before I started screaming. Writing about costumes is a break. When I really need a break I write about baby names, but that’s when I’m really needing a break.

Answer by Nell
Me and a friend of mine got together some cheap suits, shoes and hats. Then we spray painted them gold and wore golden gloves and put on golden face makeup. Then we went as living statues and after ringing a doorbell simply froze until they closed the door again.

Inexpensive Homemade Adult Halloween Costumes

We know the recession has made for a really tough time for a lot of people. Let’s face it, with nearly 10% unemployment rampant in the United States and people still fearful for their jobs (not to mention those who have given up looking and the people who have had to actually move back home), this is no time to be spending a fortune to buy a professional Halloween costume. Instead, what you need are some ideas for inexpensive homemade adult Halloween costumes. So, here for your consideration are several ideas I’ve come up with over the years.

First off, for sports fans out there, you may very well have the makings of a basic costume already. Do you have a jersey from your favorite sports team and baseball cap from the same maybe? That’s a great start for a costume. If you’re into football, put on the jersey for your favorite team and dig out your old football helmet from high school. A bit of paint under the eyes and you’re good to go for the holiday.

For the ladies, try this interesting idea on for size – you can fashion a cape for yourself very easily by simply buying a piece of material. Go to a fabric store and ask to see the remnants. These are usually pieces that are left over and are too small for the store to sell for large projects, but you can often find pieces big enough for a cape. I used a piece of this kind of material to make a curtain and the way you make a cape is pretty much the same. Take your piece of some pretty material and buy a piece of solid material, either another remnant or splurge for something full blown.

Get a plain color that will match your remnant. This will be the lining of your inexpensive homemade adult Halloween costume (sorry, I have to mention that here). The plain colors are usually the cheapest. Now, use a glue gun to glue down the edges of the remnant to create your cape, but leave the top open. Next, get a piece of string or for something a bit fancier, ask the fabric store about ribbon or curtain ropes. Get a piece that would be the right size and then when you glue the top of the cape, simply place the string along the top, leaving yourself enough room so that the string or rope can slide through on either side.

Now, take the solid piece of material and glue it onto the back as a lining. Add in a cheap tiara and you could be a princess. Or just stick with the cape. Maybe buy a cheap walking stick at a thrift store. The possibilities are simply endless.

Good luck with your inexpensive homemade adult Halloween costume. Feel free to mix and match these ideas and don’t be afraid to look for other ideas as well.

]]>

Halloween has come around again- do you have your Halloween costumes sorted out for this year’s event? While some Halloween partygoers will be turning to the traditional ghosts and ghouls, there is a whole universe of movie related Halloween costumes out there that would be perfect for every taste! Classic and contemporary horror movies really are the perfect place to look for ideas for your Halloween night costumes this year, and there is a staggeringly wide range of horror based Halloween costumes from the absolute classics of horror cinema as well as the very latest buckets of blood.

But which one of these would be the right one for you? You must keep in mind your build, and what would be comfortable and practical for you to wear throughout the night of your Halloween fun. Also keep in mind the fact that other people may be going along in similar Halloween costumes, so be sure that the outfit you choose is better than the rest!

In the world of classic horror movie Halloween costumes, there are few more well known than those based on the classic Universal monsters. Universal Monsters is group of legendary beasts that all appeared in the legendary Universal films of the black and white era. Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Wolf Man and so on are all completely iconic characters that would make great costumes. A number of versions of each of these massively popular characters are available from costume stores online and in physical stores.

For fans of the modern era of horror film icons, there are even more choices available. Characters such as Freddy Krueger out of the Nightmare on Elm Street films, Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jigsaw from SAW, Pinhead from Hellraiser and a huge number of others. The characters are available in full costumes or as standalone masks and accessories, which you can add to garments that you already own.

There’s a huge range of horror movie Halloween costumes for men and women, boys and girls, in a variety of sizes and designs. How about Ghostface from Scream, or Hannibal Lecter from the films based on the novels of Thomas Harris? Then there are also the characters from the famous Tim Burton related movies such as Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride! Whatever your favourite horror film is, there’s a great horror movie Halloween costume out there for you. Perhaps under your bed…

- Dark makeup (Black eyeliner and mascara)

So is all that good enough? Am I missing something? I’m keeping the price low as possible. I’m 14 and currently broke. I’m not looking for anything sexy/slutty or anything…

Question by Jennifer W: What classic comedy pair did an act where one of them surprised the other with a homemade reindeer costume?
I remember seeing it when I was a kid and always remembered it, but I can’t remember the names of the comedians. The pair was 2 men and I think it was from the early to mid 70′s. One of them surprised the other by showing up in a homemade reindeer costume and he couldn’t keep a straight face to save his life. Anyone else remember this?? Or who it was??

Made from foam, paint, and a bike helmet. The idea was to make this look somewhat ‘cartoony’ …hence the misproportioned look. If this were to scale with the ‘real’ bumblebee. To make him 3.5′ tall, his head would have to be the size of a grapefruit.

Save Some Cash in Creating Your Own Princess Costume

Edit Article |

Children love dressing up and it can become a rather expensive business for the poor parents who have to pay for all the fancy dress costumes, whether they are hiring them or buying them outright.

What’s more, most children wear their fancy dress costume once and then the novelty wears off. The following party they want to wear something different and Mummy and Daddy are left to fork out even more cash for yet another frivolous purchase in order to give their little darling just what he or she is asking for.

Therefore, why not learn to make your very own princess costume, save a little on cash and even encourage your daughter to help you make it, turning the preparation period into the best part of having a fancy dress costume in the first place.

The following guidelines are easy to follow and fun to complete with the little one in tow. There’s not a child in this universe that wouldn’t fall in love with their homemade princess costume instantly.

Start with the Basics
The first thing you need to do is to find yourself a great base from which to start making the dress. The best thing to use is a long skirt with lots of material to help creating that flowing Cinderella-type feel to your princess costume.

An old prom dress would be great, but so would any kind of full dress with a sequined detail to help give it a little bit of flair. Some of the best places to search when looking for a dress of this kind are thrift shops or charity shops as they are going to be excellent value for money too.

Jewel it up!
Have fun buying great accessories like sequins and fake jewels in toy shops or stationary shops. The kids will have great fun designing their own princess costume if they can stick on as many jewels as they want to and wherever they want to stick them.

Remember to buy fabric glue otherwise you’ll find that the jewels won’t stay on properly.

Every Princess Needs a Tiara
This is perhaps the most difficult part of the design. You’ll need some wire so that you can make a circle of the wire that will go around the circumference of your head and then you can add triangles to that circle to form to the peaks of your tiara with another section of the wire.

Then it’s time to be creative again, covering your wire tiara frame in either gold paper or gold material or maybe even some foam that can then be covered with material afterwards and give the impression of being a padded tiara of some kind.

Again, allow your child to help cover the tiara in sequins and fake jewels, using the fabric glue with care, and watch her imagination take over.

Accessorize
If you enjoy accessorizing things you might want to add some gloves or find something sparkly, like glitter spray, to put on the shoes or even the whole body when the time comes to make that royal entrance.

Either way, your little girls will feel like the belle of the ball in her homemade princess costume and she’ll feel very proud when she can tell all her friends about how she made what she’s wearing herself.

How creative!

Princess Costume is Very Cool!

For grown ups, it might appear like all princesses in fairytales and equivalent kiddie’s tales are only comparable to each other, if not entirely the very same a single. When it comes towards the small women, then again, they tend to become fairly specific concerning the princess costumes they don during the Halloween night celebration. Here are some for the Halloween princess costumes which are well-known to the little missus of nowadays.

Question by catie: My kids are having ‘book character day’ at school. I need ideas!?
I don’t want to go the easy way and let them dress up like ‘where’s waldo’ or harry potter. They need to be homemade costumes and an actual book (not a made into a movie deal). Any ideas? No Disney or Dr. Seuss characters please.

Best answer:

Answer by h20poloprincess
Try maybe dressing
them up as a character from a biography of someone everybody knows, like george washington. A biography is still a book, and I don’t know of any book biographies being made into movies.
