Cereal Killer
Halloween Night
This Halloween costume idea is easy to create. A few miniature cereal boxes from your local grocer (with the cereal removed) are glued to an old t-shirt or sweatshirt. Use fake blood to make it look as though each box is "bleeding", and stick a plastic knife through the centre of each box with more fake blood for effect.
Driver's License
A large piece of white poster board and some markers are all you'll need for this Halloween costume idea. Using your own driver's license as a template, recreate the face of your license leaving a blank box where your face should go. Once your "license" looks right, cut an oval-shaped hole in the blank area you left so that you can beyond doubt fit your face through. Et voila! Instant Driver's License Halloween costume!
Costumes For Expecting Women
Why should pregnant women get left out of the festivities? We've seen quite a few creative Halloween costume ideas for expecting women over the years, and following are our two favourites:
Cat In The Hat - right out of the Dr. Seuss tales, Cat In The Hat costumes are ready from most costume stores. The trick to this Halloween costume idea is to cut and hem a hole right in the centre of the belly of the costume, just large adequate for your expecting tummy to protrude. Once your costume has been modified, use non-toxic face paints or tempera paints to originate the fish bowl from the story on your tummy.
Black Cat With Jack-o'-Lantern - In much the same fashion as the last, a simple black cat costume is modified to accommodate your growing stomach. But instead of a fishbowl, use your paints to paint a jack-o'-lantern on your tummy.
Whichever of the above Halloween costume ideas you conclude to use, be sure to get lots of pictures as they are a part of your baby's life you'll treasure forever!
Money Tree
This Halloween costume idea is beyond doubt simple to create. Dress in a pair of brown corduroy slacks, with a dark green sweat shirt. Pin fake dollar bills all over the shirt, together with the sleeves and back. You can also find a green stocking hat to pin fake dollars on to faultless the effect.
Historical & Mythical Costumes
Historical and mythical Halloween costume ideas are great as well, especially for couples looking to be something other than a pair of bats or vampires. Some of the most creative costumes we've seen include:
Marie Antoinette
Elvis & Marilyn Monroe
Marc Anthony & Cleopatra
Peter an & Wendy
Dinner Table
This is one of our favourite Halloween costume ideas. All you need can be gotten from your favourite craft store for just a few dollars. A cardboard box large adequate to fit over your head and shoulders, a plain white tablecloth you don't mind cutting a hole in, some tin foil and wax fruits and foods are all you need. Cut a hole in the bottom of the box large adequate for your head to fit through comfortably, then draping the tablecloth over the box repeat the procedure. Some spray adhesive will keep the tablecloth attached to the box.
Using the tin foil, originate a "dinner plate" that will fit around the hole, and glue your wax foods onto the plate. If you like, you can also glue several paper plates, plastic cups and plastic tableware around the perimeter of the box to look like it's been set for company.
