8 great and easy DIY Halloween costumes
1. How to design a Halloween children’s party
Halloween parties are also becoming more and more popular here. Children love costumes and creepy Halloween disguises are twice as much fun. So why not design a Halloween children’s party? Even a children’s birthday with a scary theme can be great fun. We provide you with the necessary Halloween party ideas in our tips and tricks.
Tip: The pumpkin carving is also classic. What would a Halloween party be without a Halloween pumpkin in front of the house?
1.1. The Right Halloween Decoration
For a real Halloween party, the right decoration is the be-all and end-all. It should be scary and scary-beautiful. This can already be achieved by simple means. Most important is dimmed light. This is ensured by coloured fairy lights or red and green cloths, which are placed over lamps. Here, however, one should exercise caution and pay attention to excessive heat developments. The most beautiful is flickering candlelight, but windlights should be placed out of reach of the little party guests to avoid accidents.
In a haunted house, of course, cobwebs must not be missing. With carefully pulled apart cotton wool, you can easily achieve the desired effect. A rubber spider in the right place completes the whole thing. Bats and skulls can be cut out of clay cardboard and attached to the walls for decoration purposes. Old pillowcases quickly become floating ghosts when you paint faces on them and hang them on the ceiling. For a very special and stylish eye-catcher, a pumpkin can be hollowed out, through whose face a candle gives eerily flickering light.
1.2. A ghostly feast
At Halloween feasting, basically only one rule has to be observed: it must look horrible! Red and green jelly is well suited, which can be filled into individual glasses and provided with worms made of snake lollies. Spaghetti with ketchup or tomato sauce looks suspiciously like brains or worms with some imagination.
A lot is possible – but with smaller children you should not overdo it with the scary buffet. You can also enjoy a delicious pumpkin soup, a sweet pumpkin pie or another pumpkin recipe. Slightly older party guests already have a lot of fun with creepy food. A fruit bowl in red looks scary when an ice-cold hand floats in it. This is easy – simply fill a disposable glove with water, freeze it and then remove the glove from the oversized ice cube.
1.3. Just craft Halloween costumes yourself
With a bit of ingenuity, effective costumes can be easily made yourself. Often only some Halloween makeup is needed in different colors. A bed sheet and a pale face quickly turn a quickffidelen child into a scary spirit. A skirt, a pointed hat and a b0b combined with green Halloween make-up and a wart on the nose give a little witch and a red-and-black make-up to give a even devilish look.
Here, too, the age of the party guests should be considered. Smaller children should not be frightened,older children usually have their own idea of a scary disguise anyway. In any case, it is worth a look into the clothes box. Often worn-out clothes can be turned into a great costume by spice up them with a few items from the Halloween shop. These include, for example, Halloween masks.
1.4. Party games for the Halloween party
Funny party games are also not to be missed at a Halloween party for children. One option is mummification. Teams of two children compete against each other, with one child wrapping the other with toilet paper. Another game is the ghost-blowing. The children sit around a table and move a cotton wool (the ghost) only by blowing, it must not be helped with the hands. If the ghost falls off the table between two children, both get a penalty point. The game is played until the players literally run out of steam. In the end, whoever scored the fewest points won.
Divided into two or more groups, the party guests can also compete against each other in the marshmallow snap. For this purpose, many marshmallows are hung on a string and held over the heads of the players. Without using their hands, the children must eat the marshmallows as soon as possible.
As you can see, it’s not that hard to organize a Halloween party for kids. All you need is a little Halloween decoration,fun games and a matching Halloween disguise for your child. Also some Halloween makeup and Halloween masks spice up the party a bit. What is still missing is the right food. Suggestions for delicious pumpkin recipes or scary dishes can be found in large numbers on the Internet. Just let your imagination run wild. It will be worth it and your child will be thrilled.
