08 Sep 2006 02:48 PM Create costumes from your closet Make an easy, last-minute outfit for your son or daughter with clothes and supplies you already have.
For Boys:
- Dress your son as a nerd. Start with a pair of dress pants and hike them up with a belt. Mismatch his clothes: Try a plaid shirt and a striped tie. Slick his hair down with pomade. Put pens and a small calculator in his shirt pocket.
- Put together a hobo costume. Put your son in Dad's rattiest shirt and pants (roll up and pin the cuffs). Smudge brown eye shadow on his face to fake dirt spots. Wrap a bandana around the bristles of a broom to make the sack that goes over a hobo's shoulder; fill out the sack with balled-up newspaper.
For Girls:
- Transform your daughter into a gypsy. Dress her in a peasant-style top and one of her ankle-length skirts. Tie a scarf around her head and let her wear beads, bangles and hoop earrings. Apply eyeliner, lipstick and blush.
- Have her go as a gymnast. Pair a one-piece bathing suit with a jogging suit. Put her hair in a ponytail or braid. Apply glitter to her eyelids and cheeks so she'll look ready for competition.
