Halloween costumes will be on sale in specialized stores soon. Although the holiday is not originally Russian, nevertheless, the tradition of celebrating All Saints' Day (All Hallows' Eve) began to be adopted from us. The worldwide process of Americanization is affecting, Halloween evenings are now arranged in schools, as a corporate party or just wanting to have some fun.
However, if in the States a certain mystical meaning is invested in the holiday, then in our country Halloween turns into an ordinary masquerade.
In general, the question of the costume is becoming more and more relevant. Not everyone can afford to spend money on buying an outfit that can be worn once a year. That is why, more and more often, modern fashionistas and mothers come to the idea that you need to make a Halloween costume with your own hands. What ideas can we offer you?
1. Mummy costume. Done quickly within 15 minutes. This will require bandages and gauze. The option has been tested. Very good for those who expect most of the holiday to behave modestly and quietly, because. if the activity is too violent, the bandages will begin to slip and they will have to be bandaged every hour.
2. Remember the ghost from Carlson? We take a large sheet, not necessarily white, you can also have a flower (which one you stole - and put it on!). We make cuts in it for the eyes and draw a smile.
3. Halloween costumes are based on various magical and witchcraft themes. Therefore, the costumes of the witch and the classic Baba Yaga will be very appropriate. A wide-brimmed "witch" hat can be bought inexpensively in a store, a black hoodie will have to be looked for at home. Baba Yaga costume can be made from old grandmother's things. You will need a skirt, a jacket, an old scarf, a broom and some cosmetics. If things are not a pity, you can work a little with scissors and soot. Don't forget to glue on the false nose!
4. The costume of Julius Caesar is very simple. The Roman toga is made from a white sheet wrapped around the body. Fasten it on your shoulder, and make a laurel wreath on your head. Don't forget Roman sandals on your bare feet.
5. You can make a maniac plumber costume. For this fit any robe. Pick up a saw or a wrench stained with red paint, and you are guaranteed success! You can pretend to be a devilish electrician or plumber. If you have a white coat, you can embody the image of a ruthless killer doctor.
6. Good make-up using gothic black shades and false fangs will provide a vampire costume.
7. Cheap and quick to make a spider suit. You will need tight black clothing. And the web can be made from a clothesline, fixed with knots. You can stick artificial beetles and a husband on it to enhance the image. Fasten the web so that the ropes are taut when you raise your hands.
The costumes of Jack Sparrow, Elvis Presley, Woland, Marilyn Monroe or Marilyn Manson are very popular. If you look closely at their outfits, it turns out that recreating them is very simple. Just pay due attention to makeup, hair and accessories.
You can generally have a theme party, for example, establish a rule that the costume must be made from garbage, such as plastic bags, cellophane or plastic bottles, waste paper.

and we will make Halloween costumes ourselves.
For example, one idea already exists. Let's make a mummy costume, remember how in DuckTales? You only need a lot of bandages and time to wrap and secure it all. You can also tear off small strips from the bandages so that they dangle, as if the mummy is unraveling.
I give the idea for free 🙂
