Michael asks…

I will be 35 weeks pregnant on Halloween and I need a good ?

I need for the costume to be low in cost. I thought about dressing up like a cat and having my belly look like a fish bowl. If you have any suggestions please let me know I would like to start putting my costume together as soon as possible. Thanks for any advise.

andre1 answers:

1. Classic Jack-o-Lantern—paint your belly orange with a classic smiling face. You can wear ordinary street clothes, or overalls with a flannel shirt and a straw hat.

2. Fish-Bowl—paint a fish and some bubbles on your belly, then wear a light blue or white outfit.

3. Watermelon—paint stripes on your belly in 2 different shades of green to look like a watermelon, then dress like a farmer.

4. Bun in the Oven—paint a loaf of bread on your belly and dress like a chef.

5. Peek-a-Boo—if you know a really good artist, you could have them paint your belly to look like your baby is peeking out. Ordinary street clothes would work fine with this costume.

6. Crystal Ball—paint your belly white or light blue, and dress like a gypsy.

7. Pea Pod—paint your belly green, then wear all green and cut a vertical slit in your shirt to let your belly show through.

8. Basketball—paint your belly orange with black stripes, and dress like a basketball player.

A. Mormon Missionary—wear a white button-up shirt, dark pants or a long skirt, black shoes and a backpack. B. Nun—works great if your husband goes as a priest
c. Cheerleader
d. Bride
e. Prom Queen—dress in a formal gown with a crown.
F. Stripper—wear a nurse or police uniform unbuttoned very low, with a dark bra underneath and a short skirt.
G. Grandma—dress very conservatively, with a grey wig, and use a cane.
H. Blow-up Doll—wear a flesh-colored bodysuit with a bra and panties over it. Cut the blow-up valve off of a beach ball or other inflatable toy, and glue it on your bodysuit somewhere very obvious. Use lipstick to create a big red circle around your mouth.

2. Deviled egg—dress completely in white, and glue a yellow circle on your stomach. Devil horns and pitchfork are optional.

3. Trick or Treat—dress normally, but pin a paper bag that says "Trick or Treat" to your belly and tell everyone that you’re taking your child trick or treating.

4. Miss Conception—wear a formal gown with a sash that says "Miss Conception."

5. Mummy-to-Be—dress completely in white, and wrap yourself in gauze. Put white makeup on your face with black around the eyes.

6. White Trash—wear cutoff shorts and a short shirt that lets the bottom of your belly hang out. Wear your hair in pigtails and go barefoot.

Here are some costumes that don’t refer directly to your condition, but still utilize your expanding waistline:

1. Mrs. Potato Head—sew gunny sacks together so you have one big sack big enough for your torso. Cut holes for your head and arms, and wear and a long-sleeved shirt underneath. Make big lips, eyes, nose, sunglasses, etc. From felt and glue Velcro to them, so they’ll stick to the gunny sack. A large hat and purse will finish it off.

2. Leaf Pile/Chia Pet/Popcorn Ball—all of these costumes use duct tape as the base layer. Wrap yourself entirely in duct tape, with the sticky side facing out, then stick leaves, grass, or popcorn all over the tape. You could also wear green, orange, or white clothing and just wrap your midsection in duct tape.

3. Bag of Jelly Beans—take a clear plastic garbage bag and cut a hole in the bottom for your head, and holes on the sides for your arms. Dress completely in white, put the bag on, and stuff it with brightly colored balloons. A drawstring bag will work best, but any bag can be tied or taped together to hold the balloons in.

4. Gumball Machine—basically the same as the Bag of Jelly Beans above, but you wear red pants and a red hat, instead of all white.

5. Soap Suds—dress entirely in white and attach clear balloons to yourself. Wear soap-on-a-rope around your neck.

6. Bunch of Grapes—dress in purple and pin purple balloons to your body. A headband with a branch attached will complete the look.

7. Snowman—dress in a white sweatsuit or a disposable painters suit and paint your face white, with black around the eyes, a "carrot" nose made of construction paper, and black pom-poms for the "coal buttons" down your chest. Wear a long scarf and old hat.

8. Tornado—dress in black, attach miniature cars, houses, and animals to string and pin to your torso. If people ask what you are, spin around and make a "Whirrrrrrr" noise.

9. Pillsbury Dough Boy—wear a white sweatsuit and a chef hat with the Pillsbury symbol painted on it. Be prepared to get poked in the stomach all night and do a lot of giggling.

10. California Raisin—wear tight black clothes under a black garbage bag. White gloves, shoes, and black sunglasses will complete the costume.

11. Cotton Candy—dress entirely in white and use spray adhesive to attach pink-dyed pillow stuffing to your shirt.

12. Christmas Tree—wear a green sweatshirt with dark jeans, and wrap green garland around your upper body for a "piney" look. Decorate yourself with ornaments. If you’re really crafty, you can make a cardboard star and attack it to a headband or hat.

13. Candy Corn—wear white tights, an orange skirt or shorts, and

Your Questions About How To Make A Fish Costume

by andre1 on September 7, 2011

Daniel asks…

Help PLEASE!!??

My friends and I are going to a on October 27th. There will be 4 of us going as a group and wanted to do a theme for all our costumes. The Theme is Cat In The Hat, my friend and I are dressing up as Thing 1 and Thing 2, her husband is going as The Cat, and a 4th friend of ours is wanting to go as the Fish who tells the children to behave and such, but we're not sure how to make that costume. Any help would be appreciated and pictures will get you the best answer!! !!

andre1 answers:

You might want to take 3 rings, the middle one about the size of a hula hoop and the other wide enough to fit your feet and head through. Overlay it with blue cloth to create the bowl. The color his hair orange and paint his face orange with fish scales. Hopefully this will give you some where to start.

Jenny asks…

Props for the MS play?

Hi, I'm the official prop manager of my MS (middle school) play.That means it's pretty much up to me to provide all of the props.

Does anybody have any ideas about where I could find/how I could make a large strip of fishing net covered in jingle bells. It's to drape around a person like a toga so they jingle when they walk, and it has to be a fishing net for the sake of their costume.
Also, I need to make a few documents look old, so how do I make them brown and crumbled like they're ancient?
Finally, where can I buy fake food? I see it all over the place, but I've never actually seen it sold in stores.

Ty in advance for your help.

andre1 answers:

Welcome to the wonderful world of stage props !! One thing I would do is call up the local junior college and/ or community theater and see if THEIR Props Department can provide you with assistance. Also pop over to the library and look for a textbook called "Stage-craft" which was one of MY many resources over the years.

The fishing net can be found at a boat or RV store, and the bells at any crafts store.

Aging documents is best done with a series of dips in TEA or COFFEE and drying on a flat towel or from a clothes line. I preferred to find paper with a high linen count, and THEN put them in a pillow case with some coins and run them thru the drier.

Fake food is often made of carved foam or paper mache'... You MIGHT be able to find fake food at a restaurant supply store... I've found many bread loaves and deli-trays. ASK nicely at a place where you SEE it where they got it and if you could borrow their catalog

andre1 answers:

To make documents look old, brew a cup of tea with the tea bag in it. Take the tea bag and rub it on the document until it is stained. You want to do it this way and not dip the document in tea because rubbing it will help get variation in the coloring. Dipping it will make it a uniform color, which is wrong for aging. Leave it out in the sun to dry, preferably on a dark surface so it dries quickly. It will warp and wrinkle as it dries. If the documents are supposed to be really old then consider drying them with a hair dryer... That'll make it wrinkle more, especially on the edges. Also, as it's drying (but not dry yet) sprinkle a few drops of tea on the paper to make age spots. DO NOT BURN OR TEAR THE EDGES - that looks cheesy.

For fake bread use real and shellac it. There are sources online for fake meet. Joke shops are a good place to start. If you're looking for something like a cut of steak or even a chicken leg you can buy really bad fakes and then take a mixture of high gloss polyeurthane (water based) and either a greyish brown paint (for steak) or a yellow-brown (for chicken) and paint a few layers onto the fake. There should be very little pigment in the glaze: you want the base to show through. The glaze just gives richness to the color and makes it look moist, like a juicy piece of meat.

Fishing net covered in bells. Sorry, your best bet is to get a piece of fishing net (online, marine supply... It's pretty cheap) and some really cheap silver bells (also online, try holiday supply stores, party stores and Oriental Trading Company). Then, sew them on, one by one. Before you sew them on, pick a color - you don't want the fishing net to be white because it will look really bright on stage. You could make a mixture of 10 parts water to 1 part brown paint and 1 part yellow paint. Dip the net in that and it'll look a little aged.

Halloween costumes for tweens

Are you looking for the right Halloween Costumes for Tweens? Tweens are young adults who are neither children nor teenagers, somewhere in-betweens. The most important thing he has to keep in mind when trying to find a tween Halloween costume is where exactly is the tween going to be wearing their costume to? Nowadays Tweens wish to attend a party at one of their friends place or attend a school dance. Next comes what type of Halloween costume should they wear, should it be scary Halloween tween costume, funny Halloween costumes or more traditional type of costume. Some tween may wish to dress up like adults and prefer an outfit that makes them look sexy or more mature. Halloween is the night where anyone can be anything they want. Some tween may want to dress down in age. A young girl may dress up like a fairy princess, an angel or even a mermaid. On other hand, boys may wish to dress up like superheroes. Boys like to imitate as superheroes no matter how old they are, so you can find these costumes in shops and online. Some of the popular tween costumes include Devil Bride, Joker, Batman, and Iron man, Goth Ghost, Ghost Rider and Red Hot Witch etc. Tween girls would love to wear super girl costume. Super girl has turned super sexy in high-heeled boots and a cut-off shirt.

Tween girls with age group 11 to 13 are very confused as to what should they wear in the Halloween night. Gone are the days when their first preference used to be fairy princess of a cuddly tiger costume. A flapper costume is often sleeveless short dress which comes in bright color with fringe on it. Tween girls generally have a flapper body- boyish and straight. Accessories that go well with flapper costumes are long necklaces, red lipstick and stacked or flat shoes. Geisha costume is inspired from the books such as Memoirs of Geisha. If a tween girl wears such a costume it will give a pretty and sophisticated look. Make up for geisha costume should be very simple. Face and neck should be covered in white make up with red lipstick in the bottom center. Dark liner can be applied in the eyes. Avoid wearing colored eye shadow. Hair should be rolled up and secured with chopsticks. Girls love wearing genie costumes because they are made up of gauzy fabric and in pretty colors such as pale pink or mint green. Some genie costumes have longer tops or false flesh colored panels across the stomach so that girls aren't really exposing their midriffs. With genie costumes, wear pointed shoes. Hair should be tied with high ponytail and tie with a scarf. Ideal makeup is false eyelashes and ruby or pink lipstick.

Fish Costume Ideas For Kids

Homemade Ideas For Children

You can find a large variety of Halloween costumes available at stores in your neighborhood. However, when you consider the cost and lack of originality, homemade costumes are a more fun and oftentimes more cost-effective option. Plus, if you involve your children in creating the homemade costumes, the results will be worth more than any store-bought costume in any store.

Here are some inexpensive, homemade Halloween costume ideas that will cost little money and show lots of imagination.

Scarecrow: An over-sized flannel shirt, some straw, and faded jeans with patches will make a great scarecrow. Stuff the jeans and shirt with plastic grocery bags and leave a little straw hanging out of the shirt and jeans. A little makeup will complete your scarecrow costume.

Ghost: Ghosts are an old stand-by that never goes out of style. Use an old white sheet with holes cut for the eyes and sew a simple treat bag out of a scrap of material or a worn out pillow case. You can dress your ghost up a bit by making lips out of red lipstick and a few . Or you could color a beard and moustache with markers. You may want to create a colorful ghost by using a sheet covered with polka dots or one that is brightly colored.

Clown: You can create a great clown with sweat clothes that are a bit to large decorated with fabric paint or markers. Sew on some pom poms, use an inexpensive wig with a large, colorful hat, and you could even stuff the clothing with tissue (although the tissue will be a problem if the need for a restroom break arises).

Hippy: You can become a hippy from the 1960s with a tie-dye shirt and faded jeans with holes in the knees. Combine this with a headband, a ponytail wig, and a jacket or vest covered in fringe and you will have the most authentic looking hippy costume of all time.

Nerd: Halloween is the time to dress like something completely out of character. You can dress your child as a typical nerd, complete with white shirt, pocket protectors, pants that are too short, horn-rimmed glasses, while socks and black dress shoes. Don't forget to tape one corner of the glasses for a true nerd appearance. Make sure you use plenty of hair gel to slick back the hair and a few overly large fake teeth will be a great addition.

Soda Can: Find an inexpensive plastic barrel and cut a hole in the bottom. Paint the entire barrel the colors and design of your favorite brand of soda in a can. With holes for arms and your head, a simple barrel can transform your child into a soda can.

Your child can be the hit of your block or at the neighborhood Halloween party if you use a little imagination and create special homemade costumes out of inexpensive, household items.

Like the commercials say "The memory of your child in a costume you made together"... priceless.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Is a pirate themed birthday party to childish for a teenager?
    I'm throwing a pirate themed party for my 14th birthday. I'll be serving fish sticks and root beer labeled "Rum" and all kinds of other goodies. There will be poker and dice, Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack and movie and great costumes etc... It'll be for kids from 14 up to 16-ish. I think It'll be a blast, but I'm worried people might think it's to childish. What do you think? Also, can you think of anything that would make the party better? Decoration ideas? Foods? Anything. Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Well a few years ago it was this big fat yes, but with the rise of Pirates of the Caribbean has been a hot topic! Surely we must move forward in your plan! Good luck! I hope this goes very well for you!
