By Pagan G. Moore


Halloween is always the best time to dress up. What one might overlook is this is also an occasion to tighten a relationships bond. This may be in the context of family or with someone special. Thus, missing such would truly be disappointing. Use this as a day to dress up with someone and together enjoy the trick or treat atmosphere. If you still don't have an idea on how to dress up, then couple gangster Halloween costumes are perfect fit for the season.

Couple gangster costumes are the latest addition in many Halloween outfits. The truth is that these gangs had been in existence for decades. Such impact on society has led others to present their own Halloween gangster outfits. The beauty of having such is their margin of style and design that never fades and can be done in pairs. This is suitable for any couple out there who would like to attend parties. This in turn also suggests who belongs whom.

A good example of a couple of gangster Halloween costume is that of Bonnie and Clyde. They are the famous and the first couple to be known criminals during depression era. They are known for their bank robberies throughout the Central United States. With their famous romanticized meetings and crimes they are the perfect gangster and a controversial couple. No wonder in November this is the perfect couple to be emulated for aspiring dressers.

To dress as Clyde Barrow, what you need is a business suit. Demand can vary from a good pair of pants, a polo shirt and a jacket. A coat also will look good with the ensemble. Other suggestions would be a beret, striped trousers and double breasted jacket. Do not forget the tie to complement the outfit. Other attachments would be the gangster hat and a pistol.

For the perfect portrayal of Bonnie Parker, flapper costumes and suit clothes are perfect. Being Bonnie, you can use pinstriped poly-garbardine beret double jacket. For that girly and sexy appeal, a black flapper knee long dress would be suggested and ideal. Do not forget the dark and heavy make up especially on your eyes and lips. Be sure to wear a headgear and a perfect gangster hat to complement the dress or suit. Add a weapon like Clyde and you'll certainly look beautiful yet tough.

Bonnie and Clyde team are the perfect couple gangster Halloween costume. So this November, asked your special someone to dress like them. Then, show that attitude and that glare. Incidentally, you can surely rob others attention towards the both of you.

Awesome Green Lantern Halloween Costume

By Patrik Moore


Due to the popularity of the recent movie, there are a great number of people who are seeking and searching for a green lantern Halloween costume to wear this October. After all, this is the one holiday where everyone gets to take on a role not of their own and for one night gets to be someone else.

People are genuinely surprised to find out that this holiday is no longer just for kids. There is no age limit on fun, and nothing is more fun than assuming a different identity for a night, and letting that inner exhibitionist take center stage. After all, if all the world is a stage, on that night, it becomes literally so.

When it comes to picking a character to create the outfit for, choosing one from a recent film is a great starting point as it gives the person a lot to work with. After all, someone had to make the costume for the film, so it has already been made somewhere.

In fact, businesses have risen to meet demand and there are a number of companies that offer such outfits for sale. The prices on these outfits can vary from the small for a cheaper product to expensive for a truly spectacular creation. The limit is really financial, or what the customer can afford to pay.

Along with buying one, it is also possible to rent one from a number of companies that specialize in that type of seasonal work. The advantages of renting an outfit are that it is generally far more cheaper than buying one of the same quality, and that it will usually be a very high quality product that can even be found in the person's specific size.

Of course, there is always the option of making it on one's own. It isn't difficult and even novice tailors and seamstresses can pull it off with a good pattern. Some people, however, may prefer to hire another person to do it for them which is a great solution, even if it does cost a bit more than doing it oneself.

A green lantern Halloween costume, no matter how a person wearing it gets it, is sure to leave its mark this year as the holiday draws closer. This type of a holiday does come but once a year.

Halloween Crafts for Outdoor Decorations

By Dawn Marcotte


Many families love to decorate for Halloween but hand crafted items often can't withstand the weather outside. Rain, wind and even snow can damage many delicate decorations. Here are three craft ideas that will survive the weather to 'haunt' again next season.

Potting Plant Pumpkins

Items Needed

Orange Potting Plants (terra cotta or other)

Pencil

Scissors

Card stock

paper - any color

Yellow paint, green paint

Mod-Podge Outdoor

Short Stick

Step 1: Cut the paper so it is the same height as the planter pot.

Step 2: Sketch the 'face' of the pumpkin onto the paper. Cut out the nose, eyes and mouth - or whatever pattern is desired.

Step 3: Invert the pot on a flat surface. Tape the cut paper tightly around the pot. Paint over the template with the yellow paint and allow the paint to dry completely.

Step 4: Remove the template and touch up any areas as needed with the yellow paint. Insert the stick into the hole in the 'top' of the pumpkin and paint the stick green. Paint the top of the pot green also if desired. This represents the stem of the pumpkin.

Step 5: Paint the entire pot with Mod-Podge Outdoor to seal the paint and weatherproof the pot. Set it outside for decoration.

Spirit Luminaries

Luminaries have become popular decorations for many different holidays and this idea creates a spooky decoration that can help guide trick-or-treaters along a sidewalk or driveway in the dark.

Items needed:

Clean milk cartons

White paint

Black marker

Craft Knife

Low wattage light bulbs

Duct tape

Step 1: Paint the outside of the milk cartons white and allow the paint to dry.

Step 2: Draw faces on the painted cartons with the black marker

Step 3: Cut out a small hole in the back of each milk carton to insert the lights

Step 4: Insert the lights into the carton and position a light so it is the pupil of each ghost eye. Secure the lights in place with the duct tape.

Step 5: Turn on the lights and check for placement.

This craft can be modified with orange paint to create pumpkins or any color to create monster heads. Be creative and use your imagination to create unusual faces.

Hanging Ghosts

Many people enjoy hanging seasonal decorations from trees for various holidays. At Halloween kids can make these simple ghosts to hang from tree branches.

Items needed:

White vinyl tablecloth

Tape measure

Scissors & Newspapers

Black permanent marker

Craft wire

Step 1: Lay the white vinyl tablecloth on a flat surface. Cut it into rectangles 8 inches by 6 inches.

Step 2: Draw a face in the center of each rectangle, for the ghost face.

Step 3: Crush sheets of newspaper into fist sized balls. Position a ball of newspaper under a ghost face and wrap the vinyl around this 'head' of the ghost. Tie in place with craft wire underneath the chin of the ghost.

Step 4: Cut a length of craft wire about 12 inches long for each ghost that is made. Poke the wire through the head of the ghost and center the ghost on the wire. Fold the wire up and use it to attach the ghost to the tree.

Make these crafts with your kids and create some Halloween memories as you make decorations at the same time.
