There are many great costume and dress-up ideas for kids and adults to use for Halloween, parties or just for fun. Some of the best dress-up costumes are fancy, and some are easy to make and give you more bang for your dollar.
For Kids at Parties
A kids' Halloween party is a lot of fun when you have a great costume. So, for these events why not get an elaborate costume a kid will love? One idea is a pirate costume. These can be very elaborate with fancy hats, shirts, pants and swords. Make them even better with face paint, an eye patch and a treasure chest or a string of jewels. Pirates can also be girls too, so it is perfect for the boy or girl.
Home Made Ideas
Want a better homemade idea? It's a better strategy if you want to spend time with your kids and give them a sense of accomplishment. A rock star is one costume idea they will love. It can be made by cutting out a guitar shape from cardboard and then using paint to color the body black, and put in a fret board. You can then use an old shirt, and some jeans for the main costume. Use facial paint to create a tattoo, and then gel up the hair for a rocker hairdo.
For Adults
For the adult party, you can use a number of themes like professions. How about a doctor or sexy nurse costume. An airline stewardess, or mechanic are two other choices. Another option is to combine two costume ideas like a vampire mechanic or a werewolf doctor. That makes the costume fun and interesting. Use a real doctor costume that you can buy at a costume store, but add a werewolf mask, facial makeup and fur to make yours come to life. The same can be done for the mechanic, nurse and stewardess. Just add fangs, some makeup and a cape, and you are a vampire professional.
