Last Minute Kids Costumes
We don’t really celebrate Halloween in our home. That doesn’t mean we don’t constantly seem to be looking for easy costumes to make! Book week, children’s week, fancy dress parties it appears that costumes are needed more often than I ever imagined! There is no need to succumb to commercial costumes, you can use what you have in your wardrobe and a little craftiness!
Home made Super Hero? I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea! Why not create your own super hero costume! They can wear their ordinary clothes and simply add a cardboard mask and belt a foam letter to their shirt and a cape made form fabric, a towel or sheet!
Got some spare egg cartons? Take a plain grey, white or even black outfit add some egg cups and a hat made form styrofoam cups ad you have a space invader!!!
Have you seen the movie “Rio”?? Wear some bright clothes and add these clever and easy glasses for an easy bird costume!
Now this is clever! Look closely at the skirt. It is made for a mop head! and the shoes, and accessories? A pair of thongs and some gift ribbons! Cheap, cute and VERY clever!
More mop head cleverness! This time as pom poms and another skirt! So simple! For more costume ideas check out our BookWeek Ideas and of course visit Martha Stewart.com where all of these creative costumes were found!
So what’s your favourite? Can you give me any more ideas?
