Children's costumes for Halloween 2016 with their own hands

Halloween is so firmly entrenched in our lives thateven in schools and kindergartens organize events in honor of this holiday, usually - costumed morning performances. And, naturally, the search for a suit has to be done by parents. Can I make Halloween costumes my own? Yes, easily!

Of course, you can buy a suit for a child inshop, but often these costumes are not cheap, and they put on one, at most two times: the children are growing fast, and what is the interest in all the masquerades to come in the same suit? Therefore, many parents prefer to make costumes for Halloween with their own hands - it's cheaper, and the costume is more original.

It is not necessary to buy for manufacturingcostume expensive cloth and pile at night over the sewing machine: children's costumes for Halloween with their own hands can be made from improvised materials. In every house there will certainly be old clothes and unnecessary bed linen, trimming cloth. In a course it is possible to start up everything - the main thing that the result has satisfied both you, and the child.

Perhaps the simplest costume is a suitghosts. For him, it only requires that the old sheet with a hole in it for the head. But if you do not take care of the details, your child will not look like a ghost, but just a child in a sheet. You can paint the sheet with a red paint in a picturesque way, imitating blood stains, buy a necklace from skulls or bones in the shop - in general, make the costume more frightening.

And be sure to take care of makeup. Fully cover the face with white paint, maybe not worth it, but the bruises under the eyes, painted with blue, gray or purple shadows, will make the image more believable. If you still decided to make a child, use Aquagrim - it is harmless and easily washed off. Be sure that the child does not have an allergy to makeup!

Despite the fact that Halloween came to us withFoggy Albion, you can make a child a suit based on Russian folk tales. A girl can be dressed as a Baba Yaga, and a boy with a lech. On how to make a Baba Yaga costume for a girl, we wrote in the article "Halloween for children", so now we will stop on the costume of a dog sword for a boy.

To create this costume you will needwide pants (black, gray, brown or camouflage colors) and a shirt or a turtleneck (can be bright, or it can be in the tone of the pants, it all depends on what effect you want to achieve). On top of it you can put on a fur vest. Hair can be "artistically ruffled" (if length allows). On the head put on a fur hat (but then you need to ensure that the child does not overheat in it), a panama or a straw hat. On the face you can put a green or brown make-up.

It's pretty easy to make a suit with your own handsskeleton. To do this, you will need a black overall (or trousers and a turtleneck) and black gloves. On clothes, you need to draw bones with a cloth dye or make an application, cutting out bones from paper or white fabric. If you can find a phosphorescent paint (or at least a contour) over the fabric, the costume will be even more frightening. For greater reliability, you can put a hood or a black hat on the child's head, and the face with a mask that mimics the skull, but without a mask, will also work out well.

Well, the classic of Halloween is, of course, a costumethe vampire. It will suit both boys and girls. The basis for the costume is a red or black dress and the same color pantyhose (for the girl) and a black shirt or a turtleneck and black pants (for the boy). An important element of the vampire costume is a cloak. To make it, you need to take a large piece of black cloth, stitch it around the edges and insert a ribbon or cord into one of the edges, with which you will tie a cloak around the child's neck. You can make a cloak with a collar, for this you need to pass a tape or cord about 15 cm from the edge of the cloak. If you love and know how to sew, you can make a spectacular black raincoat with a red lining. Do not forget about the little things - fake fangs from the shop jokes and makeup (shadows under the eyes, a trickle of blood on the chin). But if a child experiences discomfort from artificial teeth or makeup - it is better to sacrifice reliability.
