Halloween costumes and accessories can be easily purchased at any local stores. Unfortunately, you'll probably be paying more for it than its truly worth. Also, your kids are going to wear exactly the same Halloween costumes other kids will be wearing in your neighborhood. Try organizing Halloween crafts for kids. Besides, why sacrifice fun and creativity? Doing Halloween crafts for kids can be a great time to spend time with family. Here are very easy projects you and your kids can do together to create Halloween costumes and homemade make-up.

No-sew Halloween Costume

Contrary to what most people think, you can easily make Halloween costumes and crafts for kids even if you don't have any sewing abilities! Sewing can be a daunting task for your kids, too, so try the Haunting Ghouls idea below.

The easiest no-sew Halloween costume would be to fit a white fabric or old white bed sheet right over your child and simply mark where the ghost's eyes should be. Let your child draw the ghost's eyes around those marks-these could be elliptical or "angry eyes". Cut out the shape of the eyes so your child can see through them when wearing the costume. Mark the back part of the costume and create a small hole (this will be used to attach two other ghosts later).

If you want to make two floating ghosts for this Halloween crafts for kids, simply cover two balloons with any kind of sac and secure with a string. Place leftover white fabric or any white cloth over each covered balloon and secure with a safety pin (attach fabric to the sac). Have your child draw eyes and a mouth over the fabrics. Since the balloons are going to keep rotating, your child can draw two ghost faces on each "ghost", one at the front and another at the back.

You now have floating ghosts. Attach the balloons to your child's belt or clothing through the hole you made at the back of the costume. To attach them, tie the strings of the balloons to your child's belt or use a safety pin to attach to your child's clothes. Your child can now pretend to be a ghost with two other floating ghosts creeping behind!

A Homemade Facial Halloween Crafts For Kids

There are many Halloween crafts for kids out there. If you need to apply makeup, you can easily prepare your own at home. For the base, all you need to do is mix cornstarch, flour, and corn syrup. Use food coloring to add color-red is good for that bloody effect. Use paintbrushes, cotton swabs, or sponges to create different looks.

For kids' face makeup, it is always advisable to paint one color at a time. You can use a soft paintbrush to make stripes, spots, or very fine details. For that smudgy look or to clean up mess, use cotton swabs. Finally, it's best to use a sponge for the base. Always have a lighter-colored base and paint details one color at a time.

Doing Halloween crafts for kids shouldn't be a difficult task. After all, you are creating things with your kids. It should be effortless, imaginative, and most of all, enjoyable!
