Helping you navigate a do-it-yourself Halloween
costume.

• Kids everywhere in the world are very excited
  planning their Halloween costume when calendar
  turns to October. Parents everywhere begin hoping
  those plans dont involve elaborate headdresses
  or rare gems, but their Children also expecting
  elegant costumes for trick or treat. They want a
  magical and adventurous one like princess and her
  shining armour or any other mystic creatures that
  they see on TV, video games and fairy tale books.
  As parents, we always want our kids to be happy.
  But what happens when the costumes on a shelf
  cost more than your car payment or she settles on
  a three-winged purple? You might be staring down
  the challenge of creating a costume at home.
• Here are a few important reminders that will help
  you navigate the DIY costume.
• DO
• Plan how much money and time you want to
  spend. Give yourself a recommendation to work
  from in order to avoid late night sessions or
  empty wallets. That silver material might look
  perfect for an astronaut. But if your plan will
  blow the budget you already set, you will have an
  easier time saying no.
• Consider the future uses of your handiwork. If
  you know that you will get more use out of your
  creation than one days wear, it can enlighten
  your decisions elsewhere. A costume your child
  will want to come home and put on every day after
  school holds more worth than one that sits in the
  closet. Something that can be worn as pyjamas, to
  sports practice, or dance class will definitely
  doubles its value.
• Remember your surroundings. Fall can be a tricky
  season. In many places, the days are still hot
  but the nights cool quickly. A costume needs to
  allow a child to add or remove layers without
  compromising its look. Here are the questions you
  need to think.. Could a long-sleeved shirt or
  tights be unremarkably added? Can the footwear be
  changed? Also, schools allow children to dress up
  at school but do not allow masks, face paint, or
  weapons.  Will the outfit still make sense
  without these things?
• Pick the easiest option. No prizes will be handed
  out for most effort put forth. You do not need to
  create the next Lady Gaga statement piece. Think
  in terms of short cuts. How can you skip a few of
  the steps in production? Check the internet for
  inspiration, ideas, and directions. Maybe someone
  else has planned this out already! Or perhaps you
  can repurpose everyday items rather than creating
  all new ones. Take in an old dress and add a tutu
  underneath for volume. Paint a toy to look like
  that wand, sword, laser and other magical and
  adventurous toys.
• DONT
• Choose for them. That scarecrow, apple, and
  kitten might look so adorable, but if your child
  wants to be superman, let him. Investing so much
  time into something your kid wont appreciate
  will make both of you offended and steal the
  magic of the moment.
• Try too much. Make choices based on a realistic
  assessment of what you can do. Theres a good
  chance you are not Armani or Versace, so dont
  try to whip up a quick runway worthy creation.
  Even when you actually can stitch together
  something marvellous, dont plan on constructing
  a hat, wings, a bag, and a jet pack as well. If a
  child runs when they see you coming with the
  material, this is an indication you might be over
  committed.
• Forget they are kids. Its Halloween. There will
  be running. There will be candy. There will be
  sugar high induced insanity. Whatever you make
  will be tested for durability. You probably want
  to stay away from delicate materials and
  breakable decorations. Remember kids tend to be
  rough and careless with their clothes, especially
  when there are just so many other things to think
  about. Most import, after the last thread, glue
  gun, and paint brush, take the time to really
  live the moment with your kids. Your efforts will
  give them magic.
