Unique Halloween Costumes Designs
When I see unique Halloween costumes at a party I wonder how they came up with that idea. It may take a little inspiration and thinking outside the box but that’s part of the fun. One of my costumes came from a song title. Devil With A Blue Dress. It didn’t take much to put it together and a few people got the joke right away. I had to explain it to others. A guy my size in a short blue dress with red leotards looking like the devil was entertaining enough but it became more memorable when the connection was made to the song.
A baby dressed as a pumpkin is a cute Halloween costume but dress them up like a Tootsie Roll, Little Tree Car Air Freshner or a Heinz Ketchup Pack you’re bound to get a few laughs. One of my favorites is the Incredible Hulk with the fake abs and big muscles. Babies dressed up for Halloween are adorable and they make for great memories.
Get your pets involved . Dog costumes are more popular than ever and there are so many to choose from. The chihuahua in a tiny sombrero never gets old and a golden retriever in a tuxedo is just plain funny.
Try getting friends to be part of a theme. A Batman costume takes on a new twist when Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, and Penguin all show up. The Flintstone Family, Charlie Brown and the Peanuts characters also make for a great theme.
Get creative. With a little imagination you can make or buy what you need to have a truly unique Halloween costume. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
