Are you trying to figure out your last minute costume, but have a limited budget? Try these ideas on for size. Almost everyone has a white t-shirt , a pair of blue jeans, a flannel shirt and a pair of work boots. If not you’re sure to find them at your local Goodwill or Salvation Army Store. You will also need a colored knitted ski cap for this costume. Add a few fake scars to the face and arms, a full size bloody fake axe or chain saw prop and you have one scary lumber jack for only around $10 to $20.

Or, try  a pair of coveralls a hockey mask and a prop machete or chainsaw and right away your Jason.

How about a burlap or material sack with eye openings cut out, some cover-alls, and a prop weapon, for a great scary killer costume.

Use whatever old clothes you already have, making sure to use fake teeth, fangs, scars, costume make-up or false blood, all are very inexpensive. Make sure not to forget your creations favorite weapon.

Halloween props and weapons are really inexpensive and can be found on line or in your local stores.

Use your imagination and you could be the talk of the party!

One of my all time favorite movies is “Star Wars” and Yoda one of the movies most intellegent and delightful characters. This is one of the reasons why this year I will be dressing my pet dog Sasha in the Yoda dog halloween costumes. She kind of even reminds me of Yoda when she speaks her doggie talk. The costume itself includes a headpeice with ears and a jumpsuit with arms. She didn’t like last years costume but she seems to enjoy the attention she’s getting in this one. Our Sasha so loves to walk around with our youngest son on Halloween trick or treating. I’m sure she will get lots of comments this year along with my son who is going as Luke Skywalker!!

Getting awsome and amazing costume ideas can be great fun. You can be any thing you want to be when it comes to Halloween or costume parties. I love getting my ideas from Hollywood. The movies, movie stars, and pop stars are all great idea areas. A great example would be the “Wizard of Oz”, there are so many characters to choose from in this movie. You have Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion, Glinda the good Witch, the Wicked Witch of the West, her minion Monkeys, and lets not forget Munchkin Land with all the Munchkins. You could pick any one of these as a single costume or go as a group. It would definitely be a crowd pleaser. I’ve even seen a new costume line called “The Wicked of Oz” if you like the evil/scary aspect of costumes. Give it a try and come up with your amazing costume idea.

One of the more fun costumes I have seen is the Renaissance Era clothing. Have you noticed the popularity of Renaissance Faire Costumes? Renaissance Faire or Festivals are being held all over the United States and people are enjoying them more and more. This era had a people that were very colorful when it came to their clothing and this included the entire family. During these festivals you would be able to delight at jesters, and period musicians, watch village townspeople create merriment. Many even have marketplaces where you can wonder and delight at some of the countries finest artisans and craft folks as they create and sell their wares which might include candles, clothing, baskets, boots, silks, swords, toys and trinkets. Halloween is going to be here before we know it, the days are creeping toward October 31^st. Why not try out a Renaissance Costumes, then wear the same outfit to a Renaissance Faire and get double the pleasure from your purchase.
