Quick homemade costumes for the family
First of all we let's focus on halloween night. On this occasion the costumes are usually dark, terrifying, looking to be scary.
the scary family
Un very simple costume for all family members. For the mother, a white dress, the closer to an old style the better. Tousled hair with gray effects that will be added with a white spray.
On the other hand, for the father, old pants, t-shirt and jacket, if they are torn, more positive points. As for the hair, dishevele it as much as possible and paint it with the same spray as the mother.
Both adults can wear makeup with talcum powder, to give an aspect of the living dead and add with a red pencil, wounds on the face and body.
As for children, it is very easy, they can be wrapped in bandages as if it were a mummy, under a dirty white sheet, imitating a ghost, dressed completely in black and adding felt legs as if it were a spider, a thousand and one possibilities.
the skeleton family
All members of the family will go dressed completely in black, pants and t-shirt of long sleeve.
On top of these garments, they must place some white felt pieces that imitate bones.
The costume will be completed, with the makeup of the face. A white base and dark backgrounds around the eyes, nose, and mouth cutouts.
As you know, for dress up in carnivals there is no rule that marks the style, so here we bring you several different ideas.
a family of monsters
To make this costume, just we will need colorful hoodies, each member of the family, a different color, the more striking the better. And also, colored felt, to give details to the costumes.
La garment will be decorated with different pieces of felt. On the hood, two triangular shapes filled with foam will be placed to give it volume, and two eyes made with black and blue felt.
to it length of the sleeves, it can also be decorated using a striking color to add texture to the monster's body. The felt pieces can be sewn or glued with hot melt or contact glue.
diving costumes
In this case, we will need a pair of tights and a black jacket, some diving goggles, two bottles of water per person and a piece of cardboard in the same color that we paint the bottles with.
You only have to join the two bottles with packing tape or whatever you have on hand. When you have them together, with a color spray the paints. Once dry, all that remains is to add some ribbons to hang them on the back.
La cardboard you will need to trace a fin template on them, when you have it, cut it out and add an elastic band to be able to put them on top of the shoes. And diving has been said.
lego costumes
With a cardboard box sized for each of the Lego family components, we will get this very original costume.
In that box, we will make a hole in the sides for the arms and remove the top and bottom caps for the head and body. Once we have the holes, 6 plugs will be glued, if possible large, they can be from water bottles, to completely create the shape of the piece.
Just left, color it the color we want, dress according to that color, and finished costume.
As you can see, it is very easy to make quick homemade costumes, with any element that we have at home. You just need to throw a little imagination, and you will be the kings of the event. With the help of the little ones, the fun will be multiplied by two. Cheer up and be surprised.
