Halloween is just a few weeks away, and then after that it will be Christmas but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s tackle everything one at a time. Halloween itself will require a whole lot of your time especially if you’re a parent. Expect to be handling the costume designs and worries of your kids for their school play and party or for their trick-or-treating on the 31st. And with all those things in mind, you will always have to shoulder the burden of costs. How to come up with Halloween costumes while working on a budget.
It is true that your life would be easier if you say buy a Halloween costume from the store or rent one from a costume shop. But if you have four kids and all of them wants a costume that can be quite a burden for your wallet.
Also, if you’re going to rent or buy one, you will have to tackle the stress of your kids fighting over which one would be the fairy or which one would be Spiderman. While your kids argue you go down memory lane and reminisce of the time you were a kid. There’s no quarrel over costumes because in the first place you have to make your own.
This, of course, lights up a series of light bulbs in your head. Why not have my kids make their own costumes. It’s economical, its fun to do, and you can show your kids the value of work. However, if you follow this path be prepared with some resistance especially if you have promised your kid a great costume last year or if you have spoiled them a little along the way.
In the end, it is your decision to make. Plus, homemade Halloween costumes are not always the crappy things that children always thought they would be. With extra effort and a lot of imagination, you can make your kid a Halloween costume better than the ones they sell at the mall.
To encourage your kid avoid the usual white bed sheet with holes for the arms, eyes, and mouth costume.
This is not a great idea, unless your kid wants that. But as someone who has been around, try to be more creative and spend time on your kid‘s costume.
Try to remember that nowadays, its okay to have costumes of celebrities and superheroes. In fact your kid might be badgering you of a batman costume. That one can be tricky but with the right materials you can make one from a black cloth, ski mask, kid‘s tights, and that pair of boots your kid has in your room.
Other costume ideas include a cat or kitten costume which involves leggings, sweatshirts, stockings or rope for the tail, and probably a paper at mask. A devil costume is also quite easy to make. Clothe your kid in all red or black and buy that head band horns which you can practically see everywhere during this time of the year. You can add a cape if you want and of course a forked staff. Just make sure your kid knows that the staff is for props only and not for poking his neighbor.
Materials you will need for your budget Halloween costumes are readily available in most shops or most of them you can even find in your own home. Again, you can create a great costume while working on a budget, all you need is time to spend and imagination to burn.
Some people believe they don’t have a creative bone in their body. It’s simply not true. You just need to coax your creative side out of hiding! Halloween is an excellent occasion to lure that creative soul into the light. The results will astound you. Here are some thoughts for you to explore and have the creative Halloween costume of your dreams. You’ll also be a big hit at any Halloween event, from Hollywood’s Sunset Strip to the old haunted Iowa farmhouse. Viva la artista! Here we go.
Thinking outside the box and pushing the envelope as far as your courage will take you is the key to creative costumery.
A good beginning to truly creative Halloween costumes takes you to a local costume shop. Take a look at the lineup. See what’s most popular and vow to do something else. It’s no fun when you show up to find five others in your attire.
Your visit to the costume shop should have filled your eyes and senses with the more usual themes. Your mission is to take it all a step further, going where no Halloween devotee has gone before. It’s possible. In the privacy of your own room, mentally review your favorite childhood story book characters. Did you like Grimm’s? The Wind in the Willows? Merlin is a fascinating character. Did you always wish you were one of the Three Musketeers? Historical, legendary and romantic figures you admire or, are afraid of are good candidates in your quest for the creative Halloween costume par excellence. Everyone has a fantasy character they’re stuck on, so let yours come alive.
Once you’ve jogged your memory a bit, take a pad and some markers. Start sketching and doodling. You’re looking for colors, effects and accessory items that are your originals and which enhance the personality of your character. Accessory items are everything in a good costume. Jewelry, belts, sashes, capes, trims and hats are what we’re talking here.
Click your way to some of the online dance and theatre supply houses for some of the most fabulous accessories at a good price. These shops carry extensive lines of makeup and special effects products. What if you were a work of wax? You can be. Body paint can work creative miracles.
Don’t underestimate the mask in your masquerading! Papier mache masks are easy to make and rank high on the creative scale. There are online tutorials for this project.
How might you portray an evil gingerbread man? Take the classic Mummy to new heights, with blood-soaked cloth wrappings, stitches in unimaginable places and cobwebs adorning it all.
Here’s a simple but creative Halloween costume idea. All you need is a cardboard box, paint and a spooky sound tape you activate at your pleasure. You’re a walking haunted house!
Be the creature or princess of your dreams. It’s Halloween!
