Costume Central

Need a costume for a party or special occasion?

Who will you dress up as?

Here are three ways to get inspiration if you can’t decide.

1. Sit down and make a list of your favorite movies, books and cartoons. Now beside each movie, book and cartoon list any particular characters from the movie, book or cartoon that you like. Add any favorite celebrities and you’ll have  list of possibilities for costumes. See if any particularly appeal.

2. Go to your wardrobe and see if anything reminds you of item that could be part of a costume. Maybe the over sized white shirt could be a pirate shirt? Do you have a lacy bodice that could be part of a can can costume? See what inspiration your wardrobe gives you then visit the wardrobe of other family members and see what inspires you. Maybe you can make a costume from articles in your wardrobe.

3. Flick through the Television Viewing Guide and see what TV characters or movie characters come to mind.
