Halloween Costume Ideas

Hi!

Its coming up to Halloween and I am looking for a costume. I really have no idea what to go as. I have been looking round all the halloween sites, but think i would prefer something I can make myself.

Anyway, I have one idea which I kinda like, its the cheerleader from heroes. So its simple to make and all bloodied like a halloween costume should be.

But I need a back up just incase, anyway im being hounded to leave the computer so any ideas would be great!

you should check out angels fancy dress in london for a costume - they do some great themed ones and halloween costumes for adults and kids. they have done costumes for the BBC so they're great quality!

Hello

I got my DD two fabulous outfits from our local charity shop for £5.00 altogether. All our local charity shops have costumes on display now and could be well worth a look!

Ooooh - I love making my own costumes, for myself and my niece and nephew.

My favourite handmade one is a spider:

• Black cushion, or cover a different colour cushion in black fabric (even better in black faux fur)
• Turn it into a backpack with some strips of material
• 3 pairs of black tights cut into single legs, each filled with padding (screwed up newspaper or something like that)
• Sew the legs to the backpack
• Use 1 more pair of tights to cover your arms as the fourth pair of legs
• Get some ping pong balls and cut in half carefully
• Paint ping pong balls to make eyes and stick to a black hat or headband
