5 perfect Halloween Costume Ideas For Kids In 2011Looking for some Halloween masks that would be fun to make? Halloween is sneaking up on you and if you get caught without a costume, it could be scary! Don't scream. With a creative mask pattern or stencil you have the start of a unique Halloween costume. Plus you'll have a great time manufacture it yourself. And as you may have guessed, there are many ways to use stencils to originate a costume. We are going to witness any of them here. So, let's jump right in but don't be scared.
Ok! So there aren't too many stencils out there that are specifically designed as Halloween masks. So, you'll have to think surface the pumpkin a wee and get those creative juices flowing. After all, that's why manufacture your own craft masks is so much fun.
When we were kids we loved manufacture our own costumes except we didn't have all the fancy stuff like felt and craft foam or patterns from the internet (I'm dating myself aren't I?). It didn't matter because we had a ball coming up with ideas using the things we could authentically find colse to the house.
First, there are many stencils available for carving pumpkins. Right? Well, these are great for creating masks. How, you say? Well, let us count the ways.
Cut out a round or pumpkin shape from orange felt (stiff felt is great), orange craft foam or even paper you painted orange. If you can, don't forget to cut a wee stem on top and dab some green paint on that. If you authentically want to be creative, paint some vertical curve lines in a darker orange to authentically give it the pumpkin look. Then take your stencil designed for pumpkin carving and use it to cut openings into the felt. You may need to make some adjustments to the size of your stencil to make sure that eye, nose and mouth holes are in the appropriate places for you to see, breath and talk. Just take the stencil to a copy machine and sell out or advance it until you have the right size. Use a hole punch tool to make nice round holes on each side and attach orange or black ribbons so that you can tie it colse to your head.
Here is one of our tried and true methods of mask making. It's a wee like the tip above. Take large paper bags (big enough so that you can slide it over the head). Paint the bag orange and then use a stencil for pumpkin carving to cut out the face on the front of the bag. You can find abundance of printable Halloween stencils on the internet. You may need to trim out some curves for the shoulders so that the bag can come down low in the front and back. Don't forget to cut out holes colse to the ears for good hearing. It's quick, easy and best of all free!
To unblemished a pumpkin mask costume, cut leg and arm holes in one of those jack-o-lantern leaf bags. Fill it with plastic shopping bags to fill it out and tape it colse to your shoulders once it's full.
Let me just mention another creative way to use these stencils designed for carving pumpkins. Try using the old stand-by sheet for a ghost costume and cut out the stencils in the face area. Use a wee creativity and decorate the rest of the sheet too. Or maybe spray paint the sheet orange colse to the area that will cover the head before cutting out the pattern. To be authentically creative, after the stencil is cut into the sheet, shape the holes with some black acrylic craft paint. This makes the openings stand out and also helps the edges from becoming frayed.
Halloween stencils offer an easy way to trick (or treat!) out a t-shirt. Use an old one from the closet or purchase a new one (old is preferable). If you have an orange shirt, use black fabric paint to put the image from a pumpkin carving stencil across the front of the shirt. If you have a black shirt handy then use orange or white fabric paint.
Ok. So we covered all the common stencils for pumpkin carving that are designed as the normal faces we're all used to. But now with the internet we have so many others to choose from. Some very talented artists have taken the whole pumpkin carving stencil art to a whole new level. You can find designs of cats, pirates, wolves, witches, demons, cartoon characters, vampires, ghouls, mummies ... Well, the list is too long to keep going. My point is that the above options for creating a mask can be used for most of these. Remember that these were designed for a round pumpkin so that to resize them for face shapes and sizes is not a far stretch and can ordinarily be achieved.
Now let's come up with a few ideas to unblemished the costume for some of the masks mentioned above.
Feel like howling at the moon? A wolf mask is easy to originate with gray felt, craft foam or paint. unblemished the costume with a gray t-shirt and gray sweat pants.
Feel like a feline? Black cats are always favorite at Halloween. unblemished a cat mask with a black turtle neck shirt, black leggings and a black feather boa for a tail.
Want to be Frankie Baby? That's an easy one! Get some lime green felt, craft foam or paint. Dress up the mask with an old plaid flannel shirt, a ragged pair of jeans and a pair of work boots.
Are you a Witch? I mean for Halloween! Use black felt for the mask. You need to have an old loose fitting black dress (try a thrift store if you don't have one that you can use) and a broom.
And speaking of the many possibilities that stencils give us to decorate, here are some more creative and easy ideas. Just because Halloween stencils and patterns were designed for pumpkin carving doesn't mean that they can't be used for a large range of other Halloween crafts such as: paint them on a bag for collecting your treats; paint them on the projection of a napkin to decorate your festive table; or paint them on colored paper for decorating the windows or doors. There are many other ways to use these remarkable designs to embellish your holiday decorations.
I know how creative you can be when you get started so don't be frightened to try something new. originate a costume using a stencil or mask pattern and end up with some other fun ideas. I hope your Halloween is a real Scream!
How to Make Halloween Masks and Costumes Using Printable Halloween StencilsSexy Costumes to Wear for Halloween
These are a list of some costumes that I have seen people wear at a few parties. Some of these might be a tiny over the top but if you want to have some fun and be carefree for one night out of the year and you're still deciding on what to wear to the upcoming Halloween party, then take a moment to read straight through this list. You may even want to mix and match a few.
Playboy Bunny - You've probably seen these costumes before. I have seen some women wear the bunny nose which in my plan should be left out. The outfit itself is sexy and the nose just kind of kills it. It reminds me of a scene in the movie I Now enunciate You Chuck & Larry where Adam Sandler sees who he has mistaken as Jessica Biel in a bunny outfit but when she turns around, it's David Spade! Blah! No offense to David Spade! French Maid - Now this is hot! I've seen a incorporate of women wear this and this is without fail an eye catcher. There seems to be different version of this costume but my beloved seems to be the one that isn't fluffy at the skirt. I'm not sure what the definite terminology is but there are the maid outfits that are short and flare out. The shortness is fine but the flaring seems a bit too much. Jane - Tarzan's fair maiden. If you are attending an indoor Halloween party, then you shouldn't have any problems with this outfit. I've seen a lot of different versions of this costume and all of them looked amazing! I knew a friend who put on a bikini and tucked in some brown felt material colse to her top and lowest and looked just like she came out of the jungle! Nurse - If you've seen one, you've seen them all but I think the best nurse outfits are the ones that look like the old nurse's uniforms with the hat and dress in high heels. The leather outfits are sexy but a tiny played out for my taste. Indian (Native) - Theses are the Pocahontas type costumes with a particular feather protruding from the head band. Short p/leather material skirts and tops, an Indian necklace, moccasins, arm band, and bracelets and you're good to go! Indian (Bollywood) - This style has been seen more oftentimes and quite frankly, I think that they're sexy as well as elegant and beautiful. They have the tiny dot on their foreheads (bindi), a midriff top, silky loose pants, high heels, with a long scarf which I believe to be called a Sari wrapped loosely colse to their shoulders. I've seen these outfits mixed with a tiny Western style and it looks beautiful. Flight Attendant - I've only seen one of these costumes at a party and it looked Hot! The tiny hat, coat, with a button up shirt that is not necessarily buttoned up, short skirt, and high heels...need I say more? Mafiosa - I've seen this pulled off a incorporate of different ways. The outfits are supposed to portray the way the gangsters looked during the 1920's. One woman had a full striped suit with slacks, high heels, and a very sexy shirt underneath her coat, a fake Tommy gun, and the distinctive hats they wore back in those days. The other outfit was similar only with a loose skirt, high boots, a long coat, the hat, and a fake Tommy gun. Both were very hot. Police - I commonly wouldn't add this to my list except for the fact that I saw this one women in Vegas during a costume party and she had on a realistic looking police uniform, badge, fake gun (at least I think it was), holster, belt, cuffs, and here hair was slicked back and tied up in a bun. Her shirt was a bit revealing and I think the fact that the costume appeared so realistic as opposed to those played out pleather police skirts you see so often, made it so attractive. Polynesian Girl - What many refer to as a Hula Dancer. This can be pulled off a incorporate of different ways. First formula includes a grass skirt or sarong, coconut top or bikini top, a flower lei, and haku lei (the one that goes on the head). The second formula involves wearing a Hawaiian dress of sorts, and haku lei. The second is bit more conservative depending on the dress but still sexy.
