Halloween Costumes . . . the Easy Way!
by Robin Nobles

Tired of the same old plastic Halloween costumes that you find in many stores? What if I told you that you could easily make your child a very unique Halloween costume, often from items you have around the house?

Start out by visiting Homemade Halloween Costumes for links to numerous sites you'll want to be sure to visit. You'll even find a site with instructions for making a costume for children who use wheelchairs. http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Design_Arts/Stagecraft/Costuming/ Halloween/

How about dressing your child up like a cave man, a magic tree, a caterpillar, a mouse, or a spider? Or, make an unusual mask for your child, such as a black cat mask or Phantom of the North. At Halloween Costumes and Masks, you can find easy-to-make Halloween costumes that even the busiest of moms can find time to put together. The site is divided into age groups, which is very helpful. http://www.bhg.com/home/Halloween-costumes-and- masks.html

The FamilyFun site offers instructions for making 14 "wickedly easy" Halloween costumes, like Spaghetti and Meat Balls or a Mystic Dancer. http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/season/feature/famf0901costumes/famf0901costumes.html

Make this Halloween even more special and fun for your child by making his or her own unique Halloween costume ­ one that no other children are wearing!
