... you are viewing, children learn how to create and learn a trade. These powerful memories imprint of important messages. They come to understand the superiority of the creative tightwad method -. Amy Dacyczyn, called the Zealot thrifty
Halloween costumes are so different today. Super heroes, wizards, and cartoon characters rule the trick or treat. It was not so long ago ..... ok it might be, and before ...... When I was a little trick or treater that costumes were much more original.
You were not likely to bump into three or four characters that looked exactly like you. Oh, you might run into the same costume theme, but it will be quite unique in comparison. Of course my mom created Halloween costumes. You can create unique Halloween costumes and save money for recycling items.
Create your own unique costume. Keep in mind that Halloween costumes exaggerate to be most effective. So the more accessories the better. Some easy to make costumes using items around the house, borrowed from friends and / or relatives, or bought for next to nothing at your local thrift store include:
little old lady or man - dress accordingly in older men (a suit is great) or woman odjeće.Šešir is a nice touch. If you do not have a real walking cane you can substitute the appropriate size stick. Add some creative face painting with lots of wrinkles, of course. Be sure to add the cracking voice and a prominent limp.
Hobo - Recycle some unwanted clothing. Color or put on patches, rip some areas (especially around the bottom of pants, ends of sleeves, elbows and knees, since these areas show wear first). Use black or brown makeup stains face a bit to see the UN-Water. Blush the nose to look a little reddish. (hobos is cold outside) Sport the oldest pair of worn looking shoes you can find (or better yet, two different shoes) and tattered hat and you're good to go!
Princess - This is a timeless costume. I think every girl wants to be a princess at least once. But do not rush out and buy a costume frilliest vidite.Princeza is only an expression of elegance. As long as your little girl feels elegant she is a princess. If you do not have full length fancy party dress, check thrift stores for a low price floor party dress. Just pick one that looks "princessy." Even better, borrow one if possible.
princess wand can be easy with dowel or stick and cardboard star covered with foil. Add prime cleaner with feathers or ribbons if desired. Make a crown. You can easily make with your head and craft materials. Here's a tip: Recycle for a Burger King Crown. Do you give the crown to all the little kiddies at Burger King. You can cover with foil or paint and add beads or gemstones to decorate. They also make a great pattern for a crown if you want to create some other material you have.
Animals: for small children: Use one piece pajamas as polazište.Dodatni bonus: the pajamas are warm clothing for what is usually a cold weather night in many areas. For example .. fuzzy white, brown, black or even pink feet pajamas can easily become a kitten, rabbit or dog. Add homemade tail using scrap fabrics (attach with safety pin), the head of the appropriate ears attached, or if you use a hooded outfit attach ears directly on the hood), some creative face painting using homemade face paint (below), and you've got cute little costume that can be used as a comfy outfit after trick or treat!
For older children use tights or stretch pants, and turtleneck shirts, sweaters, hooded sweatshirts all in the color you want instead of pajamas. Use the desired color of mittens or gloves for feet. Bats, lions, tigers, even a skunk can be created in much the same way as the above animals!
Halloween Costume Recycling Tip: Remove the stuffing from unwanted large stuffed animal (through a cut slit down back), washed, and used parts for Fabić costume. Or, cut a hole for your face and your child may be small enough to fit right in and use for hooded costume.
Big Baby This is a fun costume for an older child. Return to the diaper zone! Bottle or pacifier, bib, homemade cloth diaper (over tights or pants, of course), and rattle. Add some rosy cheeks and your child will be ready to laugh (or cry) his / her way through trick or treat.
graduate - Have an old graduation cap and gown? If you do not hold too much sentimental value, you can use it to create a very simple costume. Create a fake diploma and drape from the waist tied to a string or yarn of same color or wear as a necklace. You do not want to trick or treater will have to deal with. I discovered this type of equipment usually end up in Mom's or Dad to carry arms in a short time.
Halloween Costume Recycling Tip:. Any discarded or unwanted work uniform (nursing, military, fireman, policeman) can be used as a Halloween costume
witch - a long black dress or all over black pants with black top can be combined with a witch hat and black cape (make your own if you're crafty). Add black boots and make your face a suit.
Scarecrow - cut some old jeans and a flannel shirt in scarecrow fashion. Cut sleeve ends and pants leg ends in strips to look tattered. Use straw or an old straw broom in the bristles and glue or tape along the inside edges of sleeves, pants legs, along bottom of shirt to appear as if shooting from the scarecrow. Add a straw hat.
These are all good Halloween costume ideas and I'm sure you get the picture to sada.Ideja is to use as many items as you have on hand to create these timeless Halloween kostime.Mogućnosti are limited only by your imagination.
Do not let that little girl cry because you can not find her purrrrrrrrrrr-nak cat costume. You can create a nicer one from everyday items and a few craft materials. Chances are they will look more realistic than that store bought costume. As a bonus, many of the costume pieces (ie shirts, pants, leggings, mittens / gloves) are reusable after Halloween!
A few other Halloween tips:
1 Use spray paint or craft paint. fabric paint, fabric paint and / or pens, colored recycled items desired color. One year I used silver spray paint to color and entire outfit for my son's Tin Man costume. We recycle aluminum foil for use in making a hat and an ax. Some silver body glitter on her hands and face put the final touches on this costume!
2 Use regular clothing to create more color effect as with animal bones.
3 Consider mittens or gloves when you need hand color
4.Galon ice cream bucket w / handle makes it the perfect trick or treat bucket. I save these throughout the year and recycle for hundreds of other uses. Use neon paint or stickers to add bright decorations. It is a good safety technique to make children more visible, and trick or treating
5 Make your own face paint:. You will need Corn starch, water, cold cream and food coloring
to use several different cups (cups of cream, a recycled serve yogurt or Jell-O containers, foam egg carton) Prepare 1 tsp cornstarch, 1 / 2 teaspoon each cream and water. Mix different colors of food coloring into each cup for desired colors
Create your own cream make up:
2 teaspoons white shortening
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tsp white all purpose flour
glycerin (available at pharmacies)
Food coloring as desired
That would be enough for a baby face - Use a rubber spatula, mix first three ingredients until a smooth dough forms. Add 3 / 4 drops glycerin for a creamier consistency. Add coloring if desired one drop at a time mixing after each drop until you have the desired shade. For easy removal use shortening cream or baby oil.
Remember your Halloween safety. Here are some but certainly not all inclusive, reminders of safe trick or treat rules.
1 Young children should always be accompanied by an adult.
2 Use flashlights, bright costumes or decorations to make trick or treaters more visible.
3 Try often the same limited area each year or limit visits to friends and family.
4 Remind children not to eat candy until they get home and have moms and dads check and approve.
5.Sigurno costume should not block or restrict the child's vision or interfere with mobility. Make sure costumes are safe length so as not to trip the child.
are safe and happy Halloween!
