I had some old white sheets that I used for ghost to hang all around.I made me an ice cream sandwich costume to wear.I just took enough of the white sheet and measured it around me much like you would put a towel around your middle torso. Then I took 2 square foam sheets and spray painted them brown (for the cookie part) then cut little round holes all over the cookie. I then sewed the foam cookie sheets to the front and back of the sheet that I fited for my body. I made 2 white shoulder straps from the sheet fabric & attached it to the front & back shoulder tops of the larger sheet. When finished it just slips over my head and pull down your body. You then are a ice cream sandwich for halloween! You could do the same thing with a white towl and cardboard spay painted brown & use rubber bands for your shoulder straps. And just wear light weight clothes underneath. If its for a child they could wear white tights & white turtle neck top.

Old lace curtains can be the base for a princess or a bride. Staple or hot glue. One piece blanket sleepers or a set of sweat pants and matching hoodie are great for animal costumes. This year my friend's child wants to be a hamster. I surely prefer that to something bloody and gory. Brown or tan sweats, little ears of felt pinned or stitched on the hood, and a similar tail attached to her bottom, a few whiskers with a make-up pencil...voila. Look in magazines and books, and improvise from their improvisation. One year my teen went as a pencil. We were cruising around Wal-Mart and she spotted a pencil yellow sweatshirt, and then we found athletic shirts in that same color. I cut out the letters "No. 2 PENCIL" from stickyback felt and she stuck them on the shirt. A strip of pink fun foam around her head was the eraser. She wore black tights. It was fun to make, very original and except for the sweatshirt, shorts and tights, which she can wear again, cost about $1.00! By Linda from Vista, CA Report Spam or Abuse
