We all must have gone through our childhood stage and it is certain that at least some of the events in the past still rings a bell every now and then. It is almost apparent that we celebrate our traditions in every season that passes by. Traditions like Halloween, Christmas, fairies and dwarfs and even weird comic book characters. We often see children in costumes whenever it’s Halloween, birthday occasions or when they play out the roles of their favorite comic book characters.
In case you have something in mind for your kids for a certain occasion like those mentioned above, then we would suggest that you explore your creativity. This may also require you to put on a new hobby which is sewing, but if you are really that busy you can just have it tailored on clothing shops. However, we recommend that you do the masks, heads or any trappings that will make the overall look, familiar. It is more fun that way and it will give you a sense of fulfillment once you’ve done it and see your kids happy about it.
For Halloween costumes you can use various clothing for any scary look you or your kids may want to imitate. It could be white linen sheets for ghosts, long black dresses for witches, a monk’s hooded overcoat and many other materials as long as you are creative enough to bring the best out of them. You may also use make ups for blood, pale face to resemble the dead, wounds and scars and obscene looks. Now this is the best part, some of the characters that your children would want to portray will require them to wear masks or head gears. You can do a number of these things with synthetic paper and other materials such as card boards, sticker paper, spray paint and poster paint. You can just look up in the internet for thousands of do-it-yourself masks and head gears, so there’s no need to worry if you do not have much experience on this at all. If you do have experience in making masks for kids or it’s just a hobby you happened to pick up somewhere in your life, then we invite you to go crazy and do the best you can! You can also make additional props if your kids’ characters need weapons or tools, which would make them emulate their character better.
For fairytale creatures you don’t need to put on heavy clothing since fairies are believed to be lightly dressed, but are nonetheless colorful and attractive. Mostly the heavy work done will be on the props like wings, wands, staff, silver dusts and other things that are related to the myths.
For superhero costumes you may need to spend a bit on it, because they are complicated and colorful, unless of course the hero’s costume is pitch black. Making superhero costumes even for kids will be very demanding, but there isn’t any parent who wouldn’t want their children to look great. Always remember that whenever you’ll do a superhero costume, just keep things simple and only go with the familiar. So if a superhero character has a gun, retractable wings, jet boosters, laser weapons or plasma charge on his hands, then only focus with what they commonly use. If you’ll complicate things it will leave you with a longer period of time with the designs and you might not make it in time for when your kids will need it.
