Easy Halloween Costumes You Can Make at HomeEasy Halloween Costumes You Can Make at Home You don't need much sewing or craft skill to make Halloween costumes that will delight your children and impress their friends. If you want to make Halloween costumes that are simple and not time-consuming, look for ones that require few pieces, and can be done in an afternoon or evening. Here are some suggestions: 1 - Blow up small white balloons, and attach them to the child's clothing to make a bathing beauty. For a more detailed costume, cut the bottom out of a large plastic tub and hang it over the child's shoulders with straps. A shower cap, sponge, or rubber ducky all will add an extra special touch. 2 - Make a spaghetti and meatballs costume starting with a red sweat suit, a baseball cap, string mop heads, black pom-poms, and lots of safety pins. Use one mop head, pinned to the baseball cap, for the headpiece. Cut the strings off of more mop heads and randomly pin them to the sweat suit with the pom-poms to make the spaghetti and meatballs. A colander worn upside down on the head completes the costume. 3 - An easy skeleton costume can be made with a set of black sweats or leotards, a commercially made glow-in-the-dark skeleton wall hanging, a black knit cap and gloves, and a glue gun. Simply disassemble the skeleton, and glue the parts to the clothing. Be sure to leave room at the joints so your child can move. Make eye and mouth holes in the skull, and attach it to the cap to make a pull-down mask. Costume Craze
