... Observing you, children learn how to create and learn the trade. These powerful memories imprint a strong message. They come to understand the superiority of the method mean creative. - Amy Dacyczyn, aka Frugal Zealot
Halloween costumes are so different from today. Super heroes, wizards, and cartoon characters rule the trick or treating. It was not too long ago ..... ok maybe it was some time ago ...... When I was a little trick that care or that the costumes weremuch more original.
You probably were not in three or four other characters they encounter just as you saw. Oh, you could be in a costume made the same theme running, but it would be quite unique in comparison. Of course, my mother has created the costumes for Halloween. You can create unique Halloween costumes and save money with recycling products.
Create your own unique costume. Remember that Halloween costumes exaggerate to be more effective. Accessories more the better. Someeasy to borrow costumes with objects around the house, friends and / or relatives or purchased for next to nothing at your local thrift store are:
The old lady or man - dress accordingly in an older man (a suit is great) or woman's clothes. A hat is a nice touch. If you do not have a real walking stick can be replaced to maintain a reasonable amount. Add some 'creative face painting course with lots of wrinkles. Make sure that the voice and an important route Addlimp.
The Hobo - Recycle some unwanted clothing. Paint on or put on patches, rip some areas (especially around the bottom of the trousers, the ends of the sleeves, elbows and knees, as these areas show wear first gear). Use black or brown makeup to smudge the face a little 'to look not-maintained. Blush the nose to look a little 'red. (Hobo's cold outside) Sport the oldest pair of shoes to wear to the search you can find (or better yet, two different shoes) and a hat to shreds and you're ready to go!
Princess - This is a timeless costume. I think every girl wants a princess at least once. But do not rush and buy the Frillies looking costume. The princess is merely an expression of elegance. As long as your little girl feels elegant she is a princess. If you do not already have a costume party full length, check the second hand store for an affordable floor-length dress. Just choose the one that seems "princessy." Better still borrow, if possible. A princess wandcan be easily with a dowel or a stick and a cardboard star covered with foil. Add frills with duster feathers or ribbons if desired. Make a crown. You can easily find one with a headband and craft materials. That's good advice: Prepare a Burger King Crown. You know the crowns which give all the little kids to Burger King. You can cover with foil or paint and add beads or gemstones to decorate. They also make an ideal model for a crown, if you want to create fromhave a different material.
Pets: Children: Use one piece pajamas as a starting point. An added bonus: the pajamas are warm clothing for what is typically a cold night in many areas. For example .. a fuzzy white, brown, black, pink pajamas or can easily be an agile, baby rabbit or dog. Add a tail attached with home-made waste materials (cover with a safety pin), a headband with ears properly or, if you put a cap right ear dresshood), some creative face painting, house paint on his face (see below), and you have a costume that looks like a small comfortable garment can be used to trick or treat! For older children use tights or stretch pants and turtleneck shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts all in the color you want instead of pajamas. Use the desired color of the gloves or gloves for the feet. Bats, lions, tigers, even a skunk can be created in the same manner as the above animals!
Halloween-Costume-Recycling Tip:Remove the padding of a large stuffed animal side (through a slit cut back), rinse and use fabic sections for bathing. Or a hole for your face and your baby may be small enough to fit right and the use of costume with hood.
The Big Baby: This is a funny costume for an older child. Back to the diaper area! A bottle or pacifier, bib, diaper cloth, a home-made (over tights or pants, of course), and a rattle. You will add some rosy cheeks and your babyready to laugh (or cry) so his / her via trick or treating.
The Graduate - a division of old hat and coat? If you do not hold too much sentimental value, you can use it to make a very simple easy to create costumes. Create a false certificate bound and put in life with a rope or wire of the same color or wear like a necklace. You do not want or care to have to wear makeup. I discovered this type of accessories usually end up in the hands of mom or dad to wear, after a shortTime. Halloween Costume Recycling Tip: Any discarded or work uniform not required (nurses, soldiers, firemen, police) can be used as a Halloween costume.
The Witch - A long, black dress pants with black or very dark roof can be combined with a witch hat and black cape (his own, if you're smart). Add blacks boots and makeup to fit the face.
Scarecrow - cut a pair of old jeans and a flannel shirt in scarecrow fashion. Cut the sleeves and leg ends in strips to seeshredded. Use straw or an old straw broom bristles and glue or tape on the edges inside the sleeves, pants to appear at the bottom of the shirt, as if he breaks out and the Scarecrow. Add a straw hat. These are all good Halloween costume ideas and I'm sure that now the image. The idea is to use instead of as many points as you create these timeless Halloween costumes. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Do not allow yourself to cry, the little girl, because you do notfind the perfect costume purrrrrrrrrrr-cat. You can create a much more beautiful objects for everyday use and a couple of craft materials. Chances are good to make it look more realistic than suits bought. As a bonus, many of the pieces of costume (for example shirts, pants, socks, gloves / gloves) reusable after Halloween!
Some other suggestions Halloween:
1 Use spray paint or varnish craft. Fabric paint, fabric paint and / or pencils, recycled items to desired color of paint. A year ago I SilverSpray paint and dressed all in black for my son, the tin man costume. We are a sheet of recycled aluminum used in the manufacture of hat and an ax. Some body silver glitter on their hands and do the final touch to this costume!
2 Use regular clothing to create an all-over color in the costumes of the animals.
3 In the glove or gloves if you need hand color
A 4 gallon bucket ice cream w / handle makes a perfect trick or treat bucket. I save these throughout the yearand recycle for hundreds of other uses. Use fluorescent paint or stickers to add bright decorations. It is a good technique for the safety of children visible while trick or treating
5 Make your own face paint: You'll be cornstarch, need water, cold cream and food coloring.
Use different cups (custard cups, recycled single serve yogurt or Jell-O containers, a foam egg carton) Prepare 1 tsp cornstarch, 1 / 2 teaspoon cold cream and water. Mix different colors of foodColoring in each cup for desired colors
Make your own cream make up:
2 teaspoons white shortening
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
Glycerin (get at pharmacy)
Food coloring as desired
Make enough for a child's face - along with a rubber spatula, blend the first three ingredients until a smooth paste. Add 3 / 4 drops glycerin for a creamy consistency. Add coloring if desired one drop at a time, stirring after each drop until you get that,desired shade. To shorten easy to use repression, cold cream or baby oil.
Remember, your Halloween safe. Here are some but certainly not all inclusive, reminders of safe trick or treating rules.
1 Young children should always be accompanied by an adult.
2 Use flashlights, bright costumes and decorations to make trick or treaters more visible.
3 Try the same limited area each year or limit visits to friends and family often.
4 Remind children not to eatCandy until they return home and have mothers and fathers to examine and approve.
5 A safe costume should not block or limit stops watching a child or with limited mobility. Make sure costumes are safe length to avoid tripping of the child.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
