There are times when we have much more coming our way than we can manage. For instance, the back to school craze is just over and you are busy regrouping driving your kids down for their after school activities. No sooner have you settled with this that you suddenly discover that the Halloween is upon you. And with a few kids to costume up, it can well be an expensive proposition. But there’s nothing to be too worried of, for presented here are five Halloween costumes that can be made quickly and easily. A few nifty accessories from the dollar store and you have everything needed to prepare the costumes yourself in just a few hours. What’s more, these costumes are liked by the youngsters and are perfect for them to go trick or treating.

  • The quickest and the easiest Halloween costume is always the ghost. A plain white sheet is what forms the main part of the costume, though it’s never a necessity for your ghost to be plain Jane or Joe. The ghost here is style conscious and sports a cool outfit. So to begin with, drape your kid with the sheet. See to it that it distributes evenly by length and breadth and ask your kid to point to the eyes. With a marker, draw circles that would serve as the ghost’s eyes. Ensure they are big enough to permit clear vision. Then trim the hem as necessary. Next, pin the armhole openings, which should be easy enough to allow unrestricted movement. Remove the sheet and fix sequins or beads around the eyeholes with a glue gun and day-glow stickers everywhere. And after the armhole openings have been stitched, it’s done.
