Ideas for Halloween Costumes
The costume idea can be a funny idea, easy-to-make idea or a simple Halloween costume idea that one can easily make at home. Following are some of the ideas considering these concepts and you may select any of these as per your choice:
* A simple Halloween costume idea can be a furry vest. For this, you need to have a stuffed animal soft toy of considerable big size. If you don’t want this toy or it is of an animal that you rarely have liked, then the simplest thing to do to turn it up into a Halloween costume by tearing it from mid-front and removing the stuffing.
The vest Halloween costume is ready for your celebrations. Put it on and disguise yourself as a furry nightmare ghost.
* Another Halloween costume idea can be dressing up as a devil. This is simple as for this you just need to grab a pair of devil horns. These horns, you may get from a nearby Halloween store or if possible you can even prepare it on your own, with paper and attach it to the hair band. To add to the look, wear artificial devil nails.
* A funny Halloween costume idea can be to disguise your kid as a bed bug or any other insect that can crawl in the surrounding neighborhood to collect his/her treats. Use pipe cleaners and wrap them with a hair band to make antennas. Use a bedtime robe as the dress and make hands and legs from cardboard or paper and stick it in the front of the robe.
* You can even choose to be a scary and weird fairy. Not all fairies are charming or cute. Make use of a broken umbrella for your wings. Wear fishnet stockings and choose a weird black dress.
