Getting ready for the holiday: Halloween costume ideas

Halloween is a holiday with a long history, although in our country it was only learned about it in the late twentieth century. Halloween has ancient Celtic roots, later it was venerated in Ireland, from there immigrants brought the tradition of celebrating to the United States of America. In recent decades, the holiday has spread throughout the world. They celebrate it on October 31, on the eve of All Saints Day.

By the holiday they begin to prepare in advance: cut out pumpkin lanterns in the form of a face with an ominous smile, decorate the house, store sweets and come up with ideas for costumes for Halloween. The most popular and traditional images are witches, vampires, ghosts and other evil spirits. If you can not choose a costume for Halloween, ideas can be found in fairy tales, terrible stories, movies. There are no photos: you can dress up as a Count Dracula or a werewolf, Baba Yaga or Cleopatra, robot or Koshchei Immortal. Popular were the dresses of heroes of movies or cartoons, along the streets of American cities in the Halloween night Avatars, Sponges of Bean, Shrek and Fiona wander. The most creative Americans come up with costume ideas for Halloween, even for their four-legged pets.

Why am I talking about Americans? Yes, because over a hundred-odd years (for the first time fancy dresses for the holiday began to wear in 1895), they perfectly mastered the art of inventing the idea of costumes for Halloween. In addition, in this country they calmly refer to costumed processions and regularly organize various carnivals. In Russia, there is no such tradition, suits are mostly worn only by children on matinees or at home parties. Although still begin to gain popularity and themed events: birthdays, weddings, youth parties, which are customary to come in pre-specified outfits. Perhaps, over time, the idea of costumes for Halloween and we will become diverse.

In the meantime, as sellers say, during the holiday, Russians do not seek to buy up factory outfits, they are limited to only some accessories. Acquire hats of witches, masks of evil spirits, horns and tails, swords, sabers and pistols, and embody the basic ideas of costumes for Halloween with their own hands.

The easiest way to make a ghost costume. All that is needed is to take a large white sheet, cut holes at eye level, draw out the outlines of the eye sockets and mouth with a black marker. That's all, the outfit is ready, you can go scare friends.

The witch costume will not be much more complicated . You need to find in your closet a black tight-fitting turtleneck and a black long skirt, put your hair in a light mess, put a pointed hat on your head. The image is backed up with appropriate make-up. For full entourage, you can stick a wart from the shop of jokes on your nose and find a broom.

From a black turtleneck and black narrow trousers, you can make a costume for Koshchei the Immortal for a man. To do this, cut out the bones from white sheets of office paper and attach them to clothing. Face whiten, under the eyes draw shadows and complement the image with a crown and a long sword.
