Halloween is coming soon and costumes are a big part of the celebrations. Time to get your imagination going and start planning your costume. There is a wealth of inspiration available from TV and film characters to traditional costumes to your favorite icons.
Out of necessity, our family's costume items must be low-budget, easy or no-sew, and serve a multitude of purposes. I have found a website that has downloadable videos on how to make easy costumes at home and the best part is there is a version that shows you how to glue your costume together for those of us who do not know how to sew. There are videos for making dresses, skirts and tops, hooded robes, shirts and pants and jackets and pants. There are also videos for making costume hats, angel or fairy wings, capes and aprons and even a video that shows you how to make shoe covers so your feet are costumed too.
The site has a page full of costume ideas to help inspire you. You can make a 50s poodle skirt costume to Halloween angel costumes or Sergeant Pepper costumes. With videos you see how to make homemade costumes. It is so easy, all you have to do take some measurements and make your pattern using paper towel! I made an angel costume for a child that is on the taller side and she was so excited to have costume actually long enough to touch the floor. If you are a bit on bigger side it is no problem since you take the measurements, you can whip up plus size toga costumes and have it fit great.
So visit the site, http://www.diypartycostume.com, and then get your imagination in gear and you can make the best costume ever. This year you can win the Best Costume Prize!
