Halloween Costumes
Halloween
costumes don't have to be store bought to be entertaining
as they can be made on the cheap. In fact, some of the
most creative Halloween costumes are the ones you create
yourself. Of course, if you don't have the time or energy
to create your own Halloween costume, then ordering one
can save lots of headaches.
Halloween
Costumes - Basic
Some
of the basic tools you'll need for creating Halloween
costumes for yourself and your family include items like
food coloring, sunglasses, black clothing, white sheets,
make-up, straw hat, old clothes, bandana, bandages, poster
board, glue and scissors.
In
fact, the number of household items that one can use in
creating homemade Halloween costumes are endless. Look
around the house and do a little scavenger hunt, while
keeping open a rich imagination. Involve the family in
the scavenger hunt as well.
If
there are a few basic supplies not readily available,
these can usually be purchased from the nearest office
supply or art supply store.
Halloween
Costumes - Advanced
Okay,
if you wish to go totally wild and off the deep end in
creating the ultimate Halloween costume, then read on
as we have outlined a few creative ideas that will shock
and awe your family and friends.
One
idea for an entertaining Halloween costume is to create
a jacket with a third arm in the garment and then use
a real arm for the third arm. This may involve a little
breaking and entering and potential robbery charges at
the local medical school, so the person doing the stealing
had better be ready to take the risk with a huge price
tag attached.
Another
idea for a shock and awe Halloween costume is one that
has two heads, one living and one not. You've seen the
fake one, now get busy with a real one! See the medical
school caper and warning above.
And,
yet another Halloween costume that is sure to offend is
one where you'll need some old Salvation Army clothes,
hot tar from recent road construction site and a live
chicken. Making one of these Halloween costumes doesn't
involve voodoo, but it can if you'd like it to. For this
Halloween costume, simply cover the old clothes with hot
tar and then pluck the feathers off the live chicken and
spread the feathers over the tar. There! You've tarred
and feathered yourself just like they did with scoundrels
in the old days. You may also wish to knit your bald chicken
a warm sweater for the winter months.
One
more idea for a creative Halloween costume involves going
the extreme in the other direction and dressing down to
the hilt. Simply wear a white t-shirt and blue jeans and
then at inappropriate and inopportune times, bring out
your inner rage-oholic and scare the bejesus out of people.
They will never see it coming! Then ask them if your Halloween
costume isn't the best disguise of all.
These
are only a few of many suggestions for Halloween costumes.
You'll probably wish to stick with ones that don't involve
breaking the law, but nonetheless, by brainstorming and
being creative there are thousands of ideas for Halloween
costumes just for the taking. So, why not take one today?
