Historical Background of Halloween and Halloween Costumes


Historical Background:

People wear Halloween Costumes on Halloween Day. Halloween is the Holiday celebrated on the night of 31st of October, in several countries of the world. It is a highly waited for occasion in Ireland, United States of America, Canada, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom and rarely in parts of Australia and New Zealand. The Halloween is originated from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain. It is an Ancient Gaels believe that on October 31 Boundary between dead and alive disappears and dead become dangerous for the living and cause problems such as sickness or crop damage.

Different activities are performed during Halloween Celebration, such as trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted houses and carving jack-o-lanterns.

At initial stage that is before 20th Century, Halloween costumes were not as popular as current days and not celebrated the way it is done now. Halloween party costumes for adults and children became popular in the early 1900s in United States of America. The first huge production of Halloween Costumes was produced in 1930s; this is the time when trick-or-treating had also gained a lot of popularity in USA.

Halloween Costumes:

o Features that make Halloween Costumes different from other day's dressing up celebration are that Halloween Costumes are specifically designed to look like Supernatural and Scary beings. Traditionally Halloween Costumes are of Monsters such as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, witches and devils.

o Besides these Monster's costumes, pop culture figure costumes such as presidents, film, television and cartoon characters costume are also designed as Halloween Costumes.

o Another trend of Halloween costume is also popular among women and sometimes in males, is to wear dress that exposes more skin than socially acceptable dress does.

Commercial Halloween Costumes are available at the local and Super Stores. Buying Halloween clothes from such stores may leave you unsatisfied and also put extra burden on your pocket. Normally people buy dresses from such stores. As these stores have limited designs of Halloween Costumes, this usually ends up in more then two people wearing the same Halloween costumes at a party. But we can also make our own unique and interesting Halloween costumes with a little effort and creativity.

Siempre he pensado que estas falsas Navidad "velas" eran algo raro, especialmente aquellas con bombillas rojas. Aun así, definitivamente son un símbolo de la Navidad! Quería hacer una cobertura para las velas hacerlos bastante, pero aún mantenerlos festiva. Algo que todos debe saber acerca de mí es que soy un poco adicto al uso de rollos de papel higiénico en mis proyectos de naves. Naturalmente, había usado en este proyecto así!

1. Papel higiénico rollos (utilicé 4-5 rollos para 1 cubierta)

2. Pistola de pegamento hot

3. Pintura en aerosol: usé rojo para ir con el tema de la Navidad.

4. Tijeras

5. Papel encerado

6. Velas de Navidad

1. Cortar los rollos de papel higiénico en trozos de ½ pulgada.

6. Una vez que las secciones se han secado, usted será caliente pegue les juntos. Esto es algo complicado, pero ser paciente (y no quemar los dedos!). Pegados de minas en el borde para que no se superpongan demasiado.

8. Una vez que tienes tu papel encerado en su lugar, se puede cortar alrededor de la parte superior del diseño como lo hice, o puede mantenerla cuadrados. (Sugerencia: Si decide mantener cuadrada en la parte superior, asegúrese de colocar el borde recto del papel cera en la parte superior y cortar el exceso papel desde la parte inferior.)

Este es mi producto terminado:

Sexy Halloween Costumes - To Add Spice to the Festivities


Costumes are almost important as the holiday itself, when it comes to Halloween! This is perhaps what you think too, if you take your Halloween parties seriously. And what's a Halloween party without people decked up in all sorts of lovely costumes? Indeed there is now an industry which runs on the demand for costumes for this occasion on the last day of October, you so eagerly await every year. Perhaps you plan for your costume months before Halloween and why not; they have to be the best! If you are planning a party with your friends this year too, why not try some sexy Halloween costumes to raise the temperature!

Well, Halloween is definitely the right time to express your wild side and let your imagination run free. If you have played it safe at all costume parties to date, this may be the time to experiment and try a risque costume for a change. If you are sure that a bit of fun will not be out of place then these costumes can be the best bet to flaunt your figure and bowl over the handsome man you have appreciated for a long time!

Of course you need to be in good shape to be able to slip into a skimpy costume, but once you do, get ready to cause major mayhem at the party. If you are afraid that your beau may not appreciate the sexy Halloween costume, you may be wrong. Most men have fantasies of their own and you can be even more appealing to your partner if your costume manages to tickle his fancy.

And what are the options available to you? Well, lots to be precise. You can try the schoolgirl costume modified with lower necklines and higher hemlines. Team up a white shirt with a skimpy checkered skirt and you can start the magic! Any discussion about this kind of costume must include the nurses and cheerleaders as well. After all they are what most men fantasize about. So, try a nurse outfit or a skimpy cheerleader outfit that reveals as much (or perhaps more than!) as you want to show. Do this and you will understand why men rate nurse and cheerleaders higher than doctors and sportspersons. If you are willing to be really bad, a sexy witch or dominatrix costume can help you bring down the house. If you think that these costumes are too risque, you can even try cowgirl, Cleopatra or belly-dancer costumes.

Even men can try sexy Halloween costumes, to raise their 'hunk appeal' significantly! If you have the muscles, why not display them in the guise of a construction worker or a topless cowboy? To look more macho, you can try dressing like a cop or a firefighter; who are both high on any woman's list of fantasies. If you think you are ultimate charmer, try a Dracula or Casanova costume to see how many you can snare.

And getting your hands on really hot Halloween costumes for adults is not really a big deal. There are websites which are dedicated to selling these at really competitive rates. There is so much variety on offer, that you and your partner may have a tough time choosing a sexy costume for Halloween! Understated or in-your-face, there are all kinds of costumes for you to choose from. And you may want to pick a number of sexy Halloween costumes, because they may come in really handy for spicing up your love life as well!




Andy West writes about topics relating to holidays. Depending on the type of party and the attendees, sexy Halloween costumes can be fun and flirty.

Batman Halloween Costumes - Save the Day As Batman This Halloween


Back in the 1960's, Batman came out as a comic and later would come to television as well. From the time he was first seen in the cartoons, he was a superhero that was loved by everyone. Adults and kids alike love Batman, so whether you are purchasing costumes for your kids or you are looking for the perfect adult costume, Batman Halloween costumes may be just the thing to purchase for this Halloween.

Of course, through the years, the Batman clothing has changed. This means that there are various costumes that you can choose from. However, the basic costume available comes in black or gray, with belt, briefs, cape, masks, boots, gauntlets, and perhaps a few other great accessories to complete the costume.

Most of the Batman Halloween costumes you'll find have a logo on them that is yellow in the background and then has a black bat on it. However, there are a few suits that only have the outline of the bat on them. Interestingly enough, Batman always wore underwear over the pants, so you'll want to do this with your costume.

Don't forget the yellow belt to go along with the costume. Usually going with a utility belt in yellow is a great idea where you can keep some gadgets to use. If you don't want to go with the gold colored belts, some of the costumes come with black belts as well.

You definitely want to remember the headpiece for the Batman Halloween costumes this Halloween. Usually the costumes for Batman come with a headpiece that has a mask combined with a hood. Most of the time you can purchase this headpiece, and it's available in child sizes as well as adult sizes too.

When you are dressing up as Batman, you just can't forget about the cape. No Batman costume is going to be complete without the signature cape. Usually the cape is either blue or black and it should fly freely too. The edges should be scalloped so that it looks like the wings of a bat when you move. You can either purchase a costume that includes the cape or you can make the cape yourself.

It's important that you get all the right accessories to go along with your Batman Halloween costumes. The accessories can really make your costume come together. Don't forget the special weapons to go in the belt. Consider going with a Batarang, special swords, or other accessories that come with Batman logos on them.

For Batman fans, going out on Halloween as Batman can be really exciting. If you're going with other people, consider having your friends go as Robin, or if you are taking your partner, have her dress up as Bat Woman for a great couples costume. At Halloween, you can have some fun and act like a kid, and what better way to do that than to go with Batman Halloween costumes.

The Superiority of Homemade Halloween Costumes


Halloween costume contests are never won by store-bought costumes, no matter how well made or unique. Homemade Halloween costumes are simply more impressive. Those triumphant homemade costumes show far better creativity, crafting skill and most of all, effort. The costume can really be quite simple, as long as the idea behind the costume is clever. Homemade Halloween costumes based on puns score extra points. 

I entered into my first Halloween costume contest at the age of five, alongside my two sisters. We were dressed as crayons thanks to a touch of craftiness from our mother. To make the crayon costumes, she measured around our bodies, cut out tubes of felt and affixed Velcro at the back. The tubes covered from chest to feet with short and simple suspenders sewn onto the felt. Crayon point hats were created with the help of a cardboard triangle glued into a funnel shape and covered with felt. Black felt supplied the "Crayola" and squiggles at each end.

The brilliant thing about our homemade Halloween costumes is that they were so easy to make but looked quite adorable (if I do say so myself). The felt tubes were quick to toss on over coordinating clothes and were quite comfortable, important requirements for impatient trick-or-treaters. Requiring only felt, Velcro, scissors and glue, they were also cheap for Mom. Any kid or adult could immediately identify our costume, which indulged such a pinnacle kid favorite. While we did not win the costume contest that year, we still have these homemade Halloween costumes made so many years ago.

Those crayons will always be first in my heart, but I have seen many great homemade Halloween costumes over the years. Groups of people seem to be a contributing factor in great homemade Halloween costumes. A group of costumed people creating a Halloween theme together just compounds the cute, just like with puppies. One year, a group of my friends went as Tetris pieces that actually fit together. A series of cardboard boxes and paint provided all the materials. Painting and assembling those boxes might have been more fun than the Halloween party we wore them.

Another year, we decided on a rather dark yet nerdy Halloween party theme, Dead Authors. With such a specific topic, homemade Halloween costumes were absolutely essential. We had a prize for the best costume, a collapsible ping-pong table made out of scrap wood salvaged by my engineer roommate. Extra points were given to dead author costumes incorporating how the authors died. The best and winning costume was Sylvia Plath who constructed an oven around her head with a clear, swinging door and knobs. I dressed as Virginia Woolf, filling my cardigan pockets with rocks.

Sure, our dead author costumes were dark, perhaps even a touch disrespectful, but they were also funny. They commemorated the darker side of these authorial geniuses. More importantly, they were creative and encouraged everyone to make something with their hands. For students accustomed to reading and writing all day long, the homemade Halloween costumes were strangely therapeutic.

Make your own homemade Halloween costumes this year.

Honey, Can You Blow Up My Funny Halloween Costume Please?


I think I want to be an inflatable tourist for this years Halloween costume contest. I think it is a funny costume idea and I might just win the stupid prize for wearing it. What do you think? How do you blow up those inflatable outfits anyway? Do they come with an air pump or do you have to supply your own?

How did Halloween ever get this crazy? When I was young everyone I ever knew was a Hobo. We wore our own clothes or borrowed a flannel shirt from our Dad. We burnt the end of a wine bottle cork and made our faces look dirty. And we were done. If you really wanted to get extravagant, you went outside and got a stick. Then you wrapped a bandanna around it so you had a Hobo sack. Tramps to the left of us, tramps to the right of us, everyone was a hobo or a tramp. Every kid had the same costume on no matter where we went. All the kids except the guys who were too cool to bother dressing up at all.

Today the number of Halloween costume ideas is staggering. I don't think we could even list them all. There are couples costumes, baby costumes, doggie and kitty outfits too. Men's, women's, family and singles costume ideas. Homemade, store bought and some are even custom outfits make by professional costume makers. And don't forget the Star Wars Darth Vader Collector's (Supreme) Edition Costume you can get for only about 700.00. Then there is also the thousand dollar Elvis costume, thank you, thank you very much. There is also the Holy Moly Batman Deluxe costume too, it costs a fortune too. Then there are the really stupid dress up outfits, the silly ones, the humorous ones...that is kind of a step up from just funny, and I guess the silly guys and gals who wear them are just a little classier than the rest of us. That might be why the humorous ones cost a little more too.

Those cosplay and anime costumes are pretty pricy too. They do have some really cool accessories though. The wigs alone are amazing. They are big and spikey and really colorful. These costumes look super cool when combined with those FX lenses. I do like those lenses. I find them almost hypnotic. I can't take my eyes off people who wear them. So on Halloween I am staring a lot. I am not brave enough to get them myself.

Every Halloween I get dressed up to answer my front door. I have a black robe and a noose I wear around my neck. I try, each year, to mess up my hair. I put hair spray and water on it and scrunch it up. It never fails, my hair looks the best it has all year on Halloween night when I try to make it look gross and disgusting. So, now you know what my hair looks like when I try to make it look nice right? Oh well. Then I put some white face makeup on, red lipstick with some blood red makeup running out the side of my mouth and I apply tons of dark make up to my eyes. I look like a beautiful, Arabian walking dead zombie witch kind of thing. I don't quite know exactly what to call it. But I still do it every year. The kids who come to my door could care less, they are only interested in their own costumes and what kind of candy I have to give them.

I also play some scary music from my windows and throw lots of pumpkins around my front yard. One year I dumped an entire bushel basket of little pumpkins down my front steps and let them lay where ever they rolled. The next day kids were ringing my door bell asking if I was selling the pumpkins. So, of course, everyone who asked got to take one home with them. What else could I do?

I stopped with the pumpkins that year. I still do the get up though. And I also supply good candy to those trick or treaters. I only get candy I will eat myself. That means that every single year I go and buy a big bag of delicious candy. And then I do it again on the day before Halloween, because I ate it all. Sometimes I think I should get candy I don't like, but I don't want to be one of those cheap houses that gives crummy candy out.

It was much simpler when everyone made their own homemade costume out of clothes and accessories they already owned. Costumes were also much cheaper...but they certainly were not as much fun as the Halloween costume ideas we have today.

Five Sustainable Wrapping Solutions for Eco-Friendly Gifts

DIY record album cover gift boxesYou don’t have to wrap your presents with the comics section or a brown paper bag to be eco-friendly (although you can!). Sure, those are classics and they always look good, but you can give your wrapped gifts variety while still keeping them green. Check out these five sustainable wrapping solutions for presents that are as low-waste as they are thoughtful.

glass gift jar from Coordinatedly YoursAnything that would look pretty in it could be packaged in a re-usable glass jar, from handmade pajamas to homemade cookies to a handful of Hexbugs, which is what my own daughters happen to be asking Santa for this year.

The thing that really makes this particular glass gift jar from Coordinately Yours so special is the addition of a lovely paper label and handwritten tag. You could use a variety of stash scrapbooking or vintage papers for your own labels and tags, customized for the holiday and the recipient. For the jars, source out a local place to purchase nice glass containers, or grab yourself some Goo Gone, get every single spec of adhesive off of an old jelly jar, and repurpose it.

Iron Man Costumes Halloween - 2 Simple ways to get the popular Costumes of Halloween


Let me tell you what will happen if you do not follow these 2 simple ways on the purchase of the Halloween costumes. Imagine that you have come up with an idea. For example, you want to buy Iron Man Halloween costumes because it is the most hot costume in this year. You compare prices in different costume stores. Ask you for opinions of your friends.

After two days, you enter the store, who (you think) can offer you the price down, to find the costume. And the wrong thing. Your target, man of iron, is Halloween costumes out of stock. There are only a few werewolf wigs and costumes of zombie skeleton on the shelves. You have no choice but are go to wear the more traditional Halloween costume on Halloween night.

I am sure that you do not want to have this experience, so I'll suggest you 2 ways to avoid that.

The first is that you must buy as soon as possible. Even a month ago for Halloween, it is in fact not much time for you to get the most popular costumes of Halloween.

Halloween costumes are not like normal dress. They are limited. More you buy, the less you'll have choices. You will always get the store popular Halloween costume, but you do may probably not buy the size that suits you.

Normally people buy costumes of Halloween 2 months in advance. Therefore I strongly recommend that you purchase quickly. If you have an idea today, only buy costumes today. You will always have the chance to get the most popular Halloween costumes.

Otherwise, it is that you must buy Halloween costumes online. Although there are some Halloween costume stores in your area, there are also many people are looking for Halloween costumes in your area. Are you sure that you can buy faster than them? Personally, I do not want this challenge.

By shopping on the online store costumes, you should not face a host of shelves. You can pay attention to choose your favorite costumes. As you visit websites of foreign countries, you will have more choices. You may find a very special costume that is not sold in your own region. So you will be unique to Halloween. Also you can normally enjoy a discount price. This is because the costs of an online store are less than a real store. They can usually offer you an attractive price.

Is - this simple? The answer is absolutely Yes. Buy quickly and buy online. Everyone can make these two simple things, but few people really do both. If you follow my recommendations, the chances are on you.




I am sure that you know the importance of buying online fast. If you are looking for costumes for Halloween of Iron Man, I am you offers a faster way to buy a. You can visit Iron Man Halloween costume 2008. The last collection awaits you.

Green Tips for a recycled Halloween

halloween treat bags

I know that Halloween is not for another two months but it can be stressful if you are not going ahead. So I thought that the Halloween would be ready for some creative ways to green!

You know how it is. You will get busy with returning children to school, then, comes responsibilities, school trips, school projects, and BAM! It's October and Halloween! Wow! So plan now and get an advantage over green Halloween crafts. Dust off the old decorations might to see what to preserve and what can be donated. This is a perfect to take time that unwanted goodwill to others to use. Fix broken any decorations or start from the beginning new offices.

I am sure that is all that you need to decorate and make costumes at home. But if you do not withdraw from the warehouses of local savings. It is likely that they will have a lot of elements that can upcycle, reconfigure and reuse for a great costume look.

Use reusable decoration wherever you can. I am planning to make a decorative gourd that lights up the use of solar energy in a fish tank that I use every year. When I finished the project, I'll post here. But the idea is to not buy a pumpkin every year, only the carve and then throw it our Halloween. I would like to support my local farms but rather buy his apples pumpkins. Also treat bags of waste (see above) instead of buying plastic bags. I've been giving these bags each year. Even if they pull these out, unless they are compostable. In addition, I've done "trick or treat" bags of pillow cases when my children were young and used them every year to bring all their whims. Also I'll post the tutorial on how to do one of them also in the coming weeks.

I'm sure you already know but deliver healthy snacks - homemade or otherwise - rather than plastic wrapped junk food is not only better for the trick or treaters, but also for the planet. I would always like raisins in organic animal crackers and box because the package is compostable and snacks are healthier.

Is PEVA PUL safe to make packaging and reusable lunch bags?

Karen Lee
a simple life green kitchen while healthy recipes and processing eco-golosinas.

Development of a green world authors are backed by a sharing agreement revenue with the company that operates the preparation of a green world, important media. Of course, it is never enough to earn a living real (would have heard about this problem, yes?), so if you want to make sure that this author continues to do great information is available, consider a suggestion for them through Paypal donation.

PUL
We have had numerous discussions on options for vinyl and plastic for the elaboration by the development of a green world. In fact, Kelly said why vinyl was bad and gave even a tutorial on how to do your own oil as an alternative to the vinyl cloth. And he mentioned how PEVA is a better choice of vinyl and how it is used to make many trades, including bags and reusable food wrappers.

And with the back to school us, want to promote the free lunch packaging waste by using reusable lunch bags. But a recent article in the New York Times States, packaging of organic food might be a challenge.

So while we try to do the 'right thing' and go even further, making our own reusable lunch bags and coats, I wonder, are PEVA and PUL based safe food fabrics? Does trying to be green, we propose our health of children at risk through the use of plastic to wrap their food in plastic?

I know that it is not "bad" vinyl which has no chlorine in it but is still plastic, derived from petroleum. But it is safe food because it contains no chlorine and BPA? In fact, some replacements for BPA can be hardly toxic as BPA is trying to replace. Then, how do we know if PEVA is safe for food, just because it is not PVC?

The truth is we simply don't know the long term (s) of this plastic effect even that many household items and toys are now made with it.

Life without plastic Beth has a list of options of packages of food and says that 'professionals' and 'cons' in each of them. Most are probably lined with some kind of plastic, PEVA or PUL. But as she points out, have no contact with children's plastic lunch in a wrapping of lunch or lunch bag is disturbing.

I remember when I was investigating fabrics to make my own reusable wrappers in 2009 and found many artisans that sold to laminted polyurethane fabric called PUL, mainly carried out by a company called Fabrite. I contacted the company to find out if PUL is safe food. The COO of Fabrite, Melody Levy answered and said: "not sell PUL as a tissue that is safe for food and also get to know people use it to that end." "No market, certify or authorize food with PUL storage."

Wow! Do so what was I suppose to do?

I contacted the artisans that sold food wrappings and bags to find out if it uses a "different kind" of PUL was safe food (I thought, maybe, there were different types that were using knew about.) But much to my dismay, they use the same kind: the kind that said Ms. Levy is not safe food. So clearly, these architects were not well aware that it was not safe food or mattered.

Even questions PUL I found an article to use it as a cover of diapers because of chemicals involved in the manufacture of fabrics PUL. Do we want to play our food if the author of this article is still questioning its use as a cover of plastic diapers?

I don't think so.

PUL backing

I know that nylon rip stop lined line too but they are nylon: fabric of petroleum products. I know that it is "Water resistant" and "Tough spot" but still derived and chemically treated petroleum.

I would personally use fairly crude cotton fabric, thicker, better. Nor can sew a surround type of bag to insert your sandwich or strategically to add a couple of pieces of velcro (I know plastic but at least, do not touch food) to wrap the sandwich. Cotton canvas is thicker that the majority of cotton, even if there is a bit of liquid, do not soak through. And it is crude, you don't have to worry about chlorine.

I know making your own sandwich wraps and bags are cheaper to buy them, but really it would be hard in those plastic lined fabrics when making lunch is adjusted to the children. After all, are ourselves not doing lunch to make them healthier? Why risk your health for the plastic wrapping?

Are you using to make their bags and wrappings of food? Print Friendly

Halloween costumes are not complete without masks Halloween


Halloween masks can be made from different things - latex, prostheses foam rubber, paper, plastic - and can be whatever you want for your Halloween costumes - animals, clowns, characters or else!

One of the greatest benefits to the use of Halloween masks as part of your overall Halloween costumes is that you can conceal your identity more efficiently than with makeup or accessories. Although it does either not point to your Halloween costumes, it is great fun to someone to make guess who you are!

There are Halloween masks that offer different levels of coverage. Some Halloween costumes only needs your mask to cover your eyes. Others just cover half superior of your face; some cover your whole face; some covering your entire head!

The most of your face that cover you with your masks Halloween, the more difficult that will be guess who you are. Of course, if your Halloween costumes require only half masks or smaller, you can always add makeup and prosthetics to create more mystery and authenticity to your look. Even if you don't have masks for Halloween which covers your entire face, makeup can still help with the realism of the watch. Many people choose to better their Halloween costumes by matching their Halloween masks some eye makeup, so that it gives the impression that your face is the same through the holes of the eye.

By combining the Halloween masks with a bit of make-up, you are also providing yourself with a look very easy to use. You do not have great skill to apply a little makeup stained with your areas of the eye and pop mask just right-you are ready to go.

Halloween masks are also a great solution for last minute if you do not know what to do for your Halloween costumes. Often, all you need is big Halloween masks and a black suit, and you're ready to go.

As you can see, Halloween masks are very versatile. They can complement your current Halloween costumes, or they may be the focal point.

Only, make sure that your Halloween masks are safe. Find those who cover the eyes, but eye holes large enough to see through. You will need to ensure that they are secure. If you are holding your Halloween masks are a little drag, so you can adjust or add additional security closures keep tight. This will avoid you to stumble or fall in a dip you see not. Security - especially in the case of children or if you are walking outside - is one of the main things to consider when considering Halloween masks.

Once you have made your choice of Halloween masks, you're all set for the credible Halloween costumes, of pleasure.

Toy Story Halloween Costume - purchasing tips and helpful hints


OK, I admit it, I borrowed my granddaughter one hot summer afternoon so I could get away with seeing the latest Toy Story Movie, Toy Story 3. If you haven't yet seen the movie, I highly recommend it. Borrow a kid if you have to, or rent the DVD and watch it at home with your kids and grandkids (or even alone!).

Toy Story 3 is one movie that's just as enjoyable to adults as it is children. It's also one of those rare movies where the sequels are just as good as the original. In fact, the release of Toy Story 3 has sparked new interest in the various Toy Story characters as Halloween costumes.

If you're looking for a Toy Story Halloween Costume this year, you've got lots of fantastic choices - Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead, Rex the dinosaur, Hamm the piggy bank, Alien Men, Green Army Men, and even Little Bo Peep!

Here are some Buying Tips and Helpful Hints for picking out just the right costume for you.

Now, there are several factors to consider when you begin shopping for your costume. First you will need to decide which character you're interested in, so I have listed your choices below:

Buzz Lightyear Costume:

Not too surprisingly, the most popular choice for men and boys is Buzz Lightyear. The Buzz Lightyear costume is available in adult, child, and toddler, as well as chubby for boys and plus size for men. The standard costume comes with a jumpsuit and headpiece. There are various deluxe versions that come with the jetpack, gloves and leg guards. You can also buy those and other accessories separately, including a space helmet.

Woody Costume:

The second most popular choice for men and boys in the Toy Story Halloween costume line is the Woody sheriff costume. Woody is the classic cowboy but with a distinctive look that only a Sheriff can have! The official costume comes in adults, child and toddlers. The standard version comes with the detailed jumpsuit and cowboy hat, and the deluxe versions add some extra details. Here's a neat idea: add a chord to your back that people can pull to make Woody talk!

Jessie Costume:

Jessie, the quintessential cowgirl, is the most popular choice for women and girls. Jessie and Woody also make a great couple's costume idea. The Jessie costume includes bodysuit and red cowboy hat, and some versions come with the hair bows. To complete the outfit, add a lasso, some cowgirl boots, and maybe even a red wig. The costume is available for both adults and children.

Alien Men Costume:

New this year, 3 eyes and all! The Alien Men (think... the Claw) saved the day in Toy Story 3, so they jumped up a notch in popularity and now have an official costume! Available in child and toddler sizes, or an adult headpiece.

Green Army Man Costume:

Being a Green Army Man is too cool because you get to paint your face and hands green! The official costume comes in adult and child sizes, and comes with jumpsuit, helmet, hood and boot covers.

Rex the Dinosaur Costume:

Rex, everybody's favorite lovable dinosaur, comes with shirt, gloves, tail and headpiece. Adults can get just the headpiece, and then paint their hands green or get some green gloves.

Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead Costume:

New this year, these spud costumes are just awesome! Get the Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead costumes together for the perfect couples Halloween costumes for adults as well as children and toddlers!

Hamm the Pig Costume:

OK, now that you know your Toy Story Halloween Costume choices, here is another major decision you need to make, if you haven't done so already.

Should You Buy Your Toy Story Costume Offline or Online?

Well, speaking for myself, I already purchase most items online, including Halloween Costumes. It's just so much easier to shop online, and the choices are so much more plentiful. The thought of trudging through the stores looking for the right costume makes my skin crawl!

Let's face it, if you go to your local department store looking for just the right costume, there's a very good chance that you won 't find just what you are looking for. And, even if you do find that the store carries your favorite character, there's a good chance they won' t have the size you need.

You might be looking for an Adult Size costume and find mostly Child Size costumes in the brick and mortar stores. Or you might be looking for Newborn, Toddler or even more Size. Your chances of finding all of the various sizes is much better if you do your shopping online.

In fact, when it comes to looking for a Toy Story Halloween Costume, you will probably have a hard time finding anything other than Child Size in most offline retail stores. I know because I have looked around a little myself just to see what is available.

Of course, some of the larger cities now have brick & mortar Halloween stores. In my own city, there are two Halloween stores that both opened just recently. That's something you didn't even see just a couple of years ago... that's how popular Halloween is these days! So, if you live in a big city, you could do a search online, or ask around to see if there are any such stores nearby.

Even so, you will still be hard-pressed to find a bigger, better selection of the Toy Story Halloween Costume line in any brick and mortar store than you will find online. That's because when you make your purchase online, your costume is coming directly from a huge warehouse where they can store millions of costumes, as opposed to a retail store where they only have a certain amount of space to display and store Halloween costumes.

Here's a comparison between offline and online shopping:

Advantages of Shopping Offline:

You can see and feel the costume

You may be able to try on the dress

May be easier (or seem to be easier) to return

Great for last-minute purchases

Advantages of Shopping Online:

You get to avoid the crowds and checkout lines

No. using your gas or searching for a parking space

You can shop any hour of the day you choose

Much easier to find exactly what you are looking for

Huge selection of the various Toy Story characters

Many different sizes to choose from

Actually it's very easy to return online purchases

Depending on where you live, there may be no sales tax

Overnight delivery is often available

Many online stores now also have a rating system where they show comments left by other shoppers. This gives you the chance to see if other people were satisfied with their purchase, they will many times and how is the quality (or lack thereof) of the item you're interested in buying.

This will help you determine whether or not the costume is well made, etc., and is a HUGE more when shopping online. In fact, it's one of the things I look for when I shop online, and you should too.




You're in luck because I have already done the research for you for the best selection and prices on your Toy Story Halloween Costume

Budget friendly Costumes of Halloween



...by observing you, children learn how to create and they learn craft. These powerful memories imprint a more important message. They come to understand the superiority of the creative tightwad method. - Amy Dacyczyn, a.k.a. The Frugal Zealot

Halloween costumes are so different today. Super heroes, wizards, and cartoon characters rule the trick or treat. It was not too long ago.....ok it was maybe a while ago......when I was a small trick or treater that costumes were much more original.

You were not likely to bump into three or four other characters that looked exactly like you. Oh, you might run into a costume of the same theme, but it would be totally unique by comparison. Of course my mom created our Halloween costumes. You can create unique Halloween costumes and save money by recycling items.

Create your own unique costumes. Remember that Halloween costumes exaggerate to be most effective. So the more accessories, the better. Some easy to make costumes using items around the house, borrowed from friends and/or relatives, or purchased for next to nothing at your local thrift store include:


The little old lady or man - dress accordingly in an older man's (a suit is great) or woman's clothing. A hat is a nice touch. If you don't have a real walking cane you can substitute an appropriate size stick. Add some creative face painting with lots of wrinkles of course. Be sure to add the cracking voice and a prominent limp.
The Hobo - Recycle some unwanted clothing. Paint on or put on patches, rip some areas (especially around the bottoms of pants, ends of sleeves, elbows and knees, since these areas show wear first). Use black or brown makeup to smudge the face a little to look un-kept. Blush the nose to look a little reddish. (hobos get cold outside) Sport the oldest pair of worn looking shoes you can find (or even better, two different shoes) and a tattered hat and you're good to go!
Princess - This is a timeless costume. I think every little girl wants to be a princess at least once. But don't rush out and buy the frilliest costume you see. The princess is merely an expression of elegance. As long as your little girl feels elegant she is a princess. If you don't already have a full length fancy party dress, check the thrift store for a low cost floor length party dress. Just pick one that looks "princessy." Even better, borrow one if possible.

A princess wand can be easily made with a dowel or stick and a cardboard star covered with foil. Add frills with duster feathers or ribbons if desired. Make a crown. You can easily make one using a headband and craft materials. Here's a great tip: Recycle a Burger King Crown. You know the crowns they give out to all the little kiddies at Burger King. You can cover with foil or paint and add beads or gemstones to decorate. They also make a great pattern for a crown if you want to create it out of some other material you have.


Animals: For toddlers: Use one piece pajamas as a starting point. An extra bonus: the pajamas are warm clothing for what is typically a cool weather night in many areas. For example.. a fuzzy white, brown, black, or even pink footed pajama can easily become a kitten, rabbit, or dog. Add a home made tail using scrap fabrics (attach with safety pin), a headband with the appropriate ears attached, or if you use a hooded outfit attach ears directly to hood), some creative face painting using home made face paint (below), and you've got a cute little costume that can be used as a comfy outfit after trick or treat!

For older children use tights or stretch pants, and turtleneck shirts, sweaters, hooded sweatshirts all in the desired color instead of the pajamas. Use desired color of mittens or gloves for paws. Bats, lions, tigers, even a skunk can be created in much the same way as the above animals!

Halloween Costume Recycling Tip: Remove the stuffing from an unwanted large stuffed animal (through a cut slit down back), launder, and use sections of fabic for costume. Or, cut a hole for the face and your toddler may be small enough to fit right in and use for hooded costume.


The Big Baby: This is an amusing costume for an older child. Return to the diaper zone! A bottle or pacifier, a bib, a homemade cloth diaper (over tights or pants of course), and a rattle. Add some rosy cheeks and your youngster will be ready to laugh (or cry) his/her way through trick or treat.
The Graduate - Have an old graduation cap and gown? If it doesn't hold too much sentimental value, you can use it to create a very simple, easy, costume. Create a fake diploma and drape it from the waist tied by a string or yarn of same color or wear like a necklace. You don't want the trick or treater to have to carry it. I've discovered these types of accessories usually end up in Mom's or Dad's hands to carry after a short time.

Halloween Costume Recycling Tip: Any discarded or unwanted work uniform (nursing, military, fireman, policeman) can be used as a Halloween costume.


The Witch - A long black dress or all over black pants with black top can be combined with a witch hat and black cape(make your own if you're crafty). Add black boots and make up face to suit.
Scarecrow - cut up some old jeans and a flannel shirt in scarecrow fashion. Cut sleeve ends and pants leg ends in strips to look tattered. Use straw or an old straw broom's bristles and glue or tape along inside edges of sleeves, pants legs, along bottom of shirt to appear as if bursting out of the scarecrow. Add a straw hat.

These are all good halloween costume ideas and I'm sure you get the picture by now. The idea is to use as many items as you have on hand to create these timeless Halloween costumes. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Don't let that little girl cry because you can't find her the purrrrrrrrrrr-fect cat costume. You can create a much nicer one from everyday items and a few craft materials. Chances are it will look more realistic than that store bought costume. As a bonus, many of the costume pieces (i.e. shirts, pants, tights, gloves/mittens) are reusable after Halloween!

A few other Halloween tips:

1. Use spray paints or craft paints. fabric dye, fabric paints and/or pens, to color recycled items to desired color. One year I used silver spray paint to color and entire outfit for my son's tin man costume. We recycled aluminum foil to use in making the hat and the axe. Some silver body glitter on the hands and face put the finishing touches on this costume!

2. Use regular clothing to create an all-over color effect as with the animal costumes.

3. Consider mittens or gloves when you need hand color

4. A gallon ice cream bucket w/handle makes a perfect trick or treat bucket. I save these throughout the year and recycle for hundreds of other uses. Use neon paint or stickers to add bright decorations. This is a good safety technique to make kids more visible while trick or treating

5. Make your own face paint: You will need Corn starch, Water, Cold cream, and Food coloring.

Use several different cups (custard cups, recycled single serve yogurt or Jell-O containers, a foam egg carton) Prepare 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon each of cold cream and water. Mix different color food coloring in each cup for desired colors

Make your own cream make up:

2 tsp white shortening

5 tsp corn starch

1 tsp white all purpose flour

glycerin (get at drug store)

Food coloring as desired

To make enough for one child's face - Use a rubber spatula, blend the first three ingredients until a smooth paste forms. Add 3/4 drops glycerin for a creamier consistency. Add coloring if desired one drop at a time blending after each drop until you have the desired shade. For easy removal use shortening, cold cream or baby oil.

Remember your Halloween safety. Here are a few, but certainly not all inclusive, reminders of safe trick or treat rules.

1. Small children should always be accompanied by an adult.

2. Use flashlights, bright costumes or decorations to make trick or treaters more visible.

3. Try to frequent the same limited area each year or limit visits to friends and families.

4. Remind children not to eat candy until they get home and have moms and dads check and approve.

5. A safe costume should not block or restrict a child's vision or interfere with mobility. Make sure costumes are of a safe length so as not to trip the child.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
