Creative Halloween Costume Ideas
Even while Halloween is a fun and creative holiday
, commercially made costumes can be expensive, ill-fitting, and inexpensively made. With some imagination, creativity and a little effort, fun and interesting Halloween costume ideas can be created out of clothing and objects found around the house.
The main thing to keep in mind is that costumes should be comfortable, weather appropriate and well-fitting. Simple costumes are best, with a funny hat, warm, comfortable clothing (or the option to wear warm clothing underneath the costume) and shoes appropriate for walking.
Costumes for Children
For the best Halloween costume ideas for children, cowboy costumes are very popular, as it includes jeans, a warm shirt, a cowboy hat and boots, with a bandanna around the neck and a homemade lasso through the belt loop. Generally, costumes for kids should be centered around something the child is interested in: dinosaurs, dogs, robots, favorite characters. When working with kids, generally avoid anything covering their eyes, so be careful with masks and funny glasses. While some children love to dress up, they often change their mind at the last minute, and will refuse to wear an expensive or complicated costume.
Other fast and comfortable outfits for boys include a fireman (just add a hat and a slicker), police officer (dress in navy and carry a badge) and a construction worker (carry a toolbox and wear a hardhat). Easy cat outfits for work for boys and girls, using a black turtleneck and leggings, and a set of cat ears; use hypoallergenic face paint to make a cat nose and whiskers can complete the outfit. Some fun and pretty outfits for girls include Miss America (gown, tiara, sash), fairy (tutu and wings) and dancer (ballet shoes, leotard, tutu).
Halloween Costume Ideas for Adults
With common household items and makeup, costumes for adults can be easy and comfortable. Halloween costume ideas for adults can be simple, complicated, funny and silly. Again, commercially produced costumes for adults tend to be ill-fitting, uncomfortable, and at times inappropriate.
Popular adult costumes include a weatherman (wear a rain slicker, and make a microphone out of a wooden spoon), a leprechaun (dress in all green with a green bowler hat), and a hippie (wear 60s clothing from Goodwill, make the peace sign). Fun couple costumes include Adam and Eve, Johnny and June, and a bride and groom. Men and women can create a fast and easy costume by adding a cowboy hat and shoes, or as mummies by wrapping their bodies in casting materials.
Fun and creative Halloween costume ideas can be easy and inspired by household items. For adults or children, interesting, comfortable and funny outfits can be fashioned simply and easily.
