The Halloween spirit can strike you at any time. But if you’ve been moved to go out for tricks and treats at the eleventh hour, a clever costume may be hard to find. Never fear, we have some quick and easygoing costumes that you can put together with items from home to help you look your best on Halloween.
Muscular Hero Costume (boys 4-6)
If your petite guy swears he has powers, indulge him with this spectacular disguise.
* Buy your kid a personalized superhero cape with his initials on the back! Match it with one of his colored sweatsuits and stick on a few shiny felt stars to the front of the sweatshirt.
* Add his rain boots and a pair of swimming goggles or over-sized shades and he’ll be equipped to rescue Halloween!
Fashionista Pop Celebrity Attire (fabulous for pre-tweens, five+)
Make her aspirations come true (for at least one night)! Let her dress as her adored musical superstar, as sure to be hit as this is a glamorous costume. Read these Halloween ideas to make this costume.
* Adorn a pair of old denims with glitter spray and a couple of quirky iron-ons. Go for trendy peace signs, adorned designs and anything else.
* Adorn a plain, long sleeve t-shirt in her favorite color. We enjoy this “Rock Princess” iron-on or she can draw on her own figures with glittery material pigment or other embellishments.
* Grab her fashionable boots and sunglasses and cool costume jewellery to complete the look!
Commercial Pair Costume
This unlikely twosome from the Macintosh computer commercials is a festive one for an office fete or the geek crowd. By the way, I know a good eccentric as do many women, so don’t be astounded if you get a lot “play” impersonating this couple. For PC, a conservative gray suit and glasses will sell the character, along with a slight comb-over and hair gel. For Mac, the hippy black dungarees and dark V-neck shirt pronounces it all.
