Creative Halloween Costumes

I love Halloween. It was my favorite holiday when I was little. I loved dressing up and going Trick or Treating. When my son was old enough, I had great fun making our costumes. One of my favorites is this one with my son as an M&M and me as a bag of M&Ms. I chose to be a bag of M&M nuts on purpose! It seemed to better describe our fun-loving attitudes.

I have to admit, though, that I wasn't terribly creative back then. I just bought a pattern, some material, and then sewed it all up. Now, though, I've discovered ways to create easy costumes that gifted kids are sure to love -- like the green with envy costume (clothing with green N's and V's pinned on). These costumes are not just clever; most are quite fast and easy to make.
