A very unique idea is to dress in all black and use gray tape with yellow paint or marker in the middle of each piece of tape, to represent a highway. The gray tape can run from the neck to the bottom of each pant leg. Road signs can be made and attached at various points along the roadways., A classic favorite with a new twist is a clown suit made from clothing and items no longer worn. For the hair an old wig with curly hair that has been cleaned and disinfected can be sprayed any color one desires. There are several colors available for teens to spray a bit of color in their own locks. The wig can be cut and shaped in nearly any design. Hairspray or gel can help with piling the hair on top of desired. For kids finding an old pair of slippers that are too big and adding some odd or mismatched laces glued on top will work. A vest from dad's old suit worn with a shirt buttoned wrong and baggy pants will help complete the look. Clever halloween costume ideas come from turning average characters into something different. A pageant gown or princess suit can be altered on one side with the addition of mismatched fabric. Makeup and earrings applied differently on each side of the face will complete the look of two different beauty queens. Wrapping towels around the body and head to appear as though you just stepped out of the shower is a very inexpensive idea. Wear shorts, tank top and sheer hose underneath to give the impression of not having clothes on. This is probably a better idea for adults and can be fun at an adult gathering. Cardboard boxes can be crafted into many different items. A jack in the box is created by making a clown face, adding some colorful pants, and keeping the end flap of the box in an upward and open position. The box can be kept on the shoulders with some cotton twine or string. Of course the box can be painted in bright colors and designs. Clearance halloween costumes left over after the season is over can be put away and used the following year. They can often be purchased for half price and are a good way to save money. There are many more creative halloween costumes for those who want something different or who have a limited budget.
