How to Make Great Halloween Costumes
History traces Halloween back to the Celtic peoples of Ireland. The Celts had a profound belief in the spirit world. One of their main festivals was called Samhain at the end of the summer.
During this time, they believed the veil that divided the spirit world from the physical was very thin where spirits of the dead would be free to walk amongst men. People feared the evil spirits and thought the only way to escape them would be to disguise themselves as hideous creatures. That is the significance of Halloween costumes in the ancient world. This tradition was later mixed with ancient Roman and Christian traditions over the years to form Halloween as we know it today.
Home Made Costumes
Halloween costumes are available in almost every clothing shop in the United States in season. Halloween is a great time to spend with your family, enjoying the festivities and bonding with your children. One good way to do this is to help your children make fun Halloween costumes. There are so many things you can make; all it takes on your part is a little creativity.
You can make terrific costumes using regular items from around your house. Take a white sheet, a pair of scissors, and a permanent marker and you have a ghost. Take some pieces of old rags, a black piece of cardstock, a stapler and some glue and you have an old witch. Here are some creative homemade costume ideas for your children.
Costumes For Boys
There are so many different costumes that your boys would just love. First of all, you should ask him what he would like to dress up as. If he doesn’t have any ideas already, here are a few things he just might like. Take a black shirt, a pair of black sweat pants, a belt and a few plastic knives and swords from your local department store and you have an Arabian Ninja Assassin. Tie a black scarf around his face to cover everything except his eyes. Use safety pins if you have to to keep it in place. Dress him in all black, hand him his weapons, and give him a belt to put them in and you are done!
Costumes For Girls
Girls may not be into the scary look for Halloween and may be more interested in looking like little fairies. That is just fine, because on Halloween, they can look however they like. You can buy fairy wings in most stores for weeks before the holiday starts. With a little make up and face paints you can transform your little girl into the most gorgeous fairy to fly in the Halloween night’s sky.
