(We chose our colors based on what color sweats and turtle necks we had on hand) Take a smaller box that will fit on top of their head snugly and hot glue one cottage cheese container and spray paint it the same color.

From: Elliott and Danielle and Kevin and Angela and Kristie (this one is real popular this year!)Dresser!Walmart or Kmart sells cardboard dressers in the laundry department.

Hot glue a doily to top with hairbrush and hair accessories. Hang underwear, socks, shirt, and pants out of drawers. Put a small lamp shade on child's head so neck and face are base of lamp. From: anonymous (by way if you don't want to spend the $$ for a cardboard dresser, it wouldn't take much to make one out of a box. Attaching long flat boxes on the front and hot glue small balls on the front for pulls.Costumes for Chair UsersWith a little thought you may come up lots of ideas that make the chair a natural part of the costume. Here are a few ideas to get you started.King or Queen on ThroneConvert chair into a throne, by wrapping the back and arm rests with gold or silver foil / paper. Use plastic gems (from craft store), old jewelry, Christmas garland to give it that "special look".Simply wear a cape of a royal color (velvet looks great). Scepters and crowns can be purchased at most retail stores, or make your own!If an attendant will be going, they may dress as the mate (King or Queen) or as a court jester.A variation of this would be to dress like Santa and have the attendant be an elf.SkierSkiers have a bad habit of falling and breaking a bone or two. This opens the door for a great costume. Just put on some ski clothing (hat, scarf,...) Wrap a leg in wide white gauze (to look like cast) and if you really want to "ham it up" and you use a power chair, wrap an arm too.VentriloquistIf you know anyone who has a ventriloquist doll, this can be a quick and easy one. You may wish to go with the formal look wearing a tux, or the casual look by dressing to match the doll.Gift, Jack in a box, or RobotFind a box that will fit conformably over chair (still allowing you room to maneuver inside). Remove top flaps, cut hole in top for head, and in sides for arms. Decorate.For gift box, wrap box in wrapping paper, make a large bow and wear as hat.To be a Jack-in-the-box, paint the box in bright colors, than wear a matching top and hat. Clown make-up will add that little extra.To be a robot, cover box in foil, then use your imagination to decorate.Car, Truck, Space ShipAgain using a box (as above) decorate as you favorite vehicle.The space ship can be done much as the robot. This can be real cool costume for high tech power chairs and or using a vent.Make Your Own Make-upYou will need:2 tablespoons of soft shortening4 tablespoons of cornstarchFood coloringMix ingredients shortening and cornstarch. Separate the recipe into different cups, add food coloring.Wash your face and any area that you will be applying makeup to and than dry thoroughly.Apply a thin coat of cold cream to the entire face.Using a cotton ball, gently pat cornstarch over cold cream. Keep your eyes closed.Apply make-up with fingers tips.#1 Source for Halloween Costumes. Are you looking for halloween costumes?

It is simple and cheap. Wearing all white, with black tennis shoes, I cut out the letter 'P' from black construction paper and pinned the P's all over the white outfit.

Here are a few ideas to get you started.King or Queen on ThroneConvert chair into a throne, by wrapping the back and arm rests with gold or silver foil / paper. Use plastic gems (from craft store), old jewelry, Christmas garland to give it that "special look".Simply wear a cape of a royal color (velvet looks great). Scepters and crowns can be purchased at most retail stores, or make your own!If an attendant will be going, they may dress as the mate (King or Queen) or as a court jester.A variation of this would be to dress like Santa and have the attendant be an elf.SkierSkiers have a bad habit of falling and breaking a bone or two. This opens the door for a great costume. Just put on some ski clothing (hat, scarf,...) Wrap a leg in wide white gauze (to look like cast) and if you really want to "ham it up" and you use a power chair, wrap an arm too.VentriloquistIf you know anyone who has a ventriloquist doll, this can be a quick and easy one. You may wish to go with the formal look wearing a tux, or the casual look by dressing to match the doll.Gift, Jack in a box, or RobotFind a box that will fit conformably over chair (still allowing you room to maneuver inside). Remove top flaps, cut hole in top for head, and in sides for arms. Decorate.For gift box, wrap box in wrapping paper, make a large bow and wear as hat.To be a Jack-in-the-box, paint the box in bright colors, than wear a matching top and hat. Clown make-up will add that little extra.To be a robot, cover box in foil, then use your imagination to decorate.Car, Truck, Space ShipAgain using a box (as above) decorate as you favorite vehicle.The space ship can be done much as the robot. This can be real cool costume for high tech power chairs and or using a vent.Make Your Own Make-upYou will need:2 tablespoons of soft shortening4 tablespoons of cornstarchFood coloringMix ingredients shortening and cornstarch. Separate the recipe into different cups, add food coloring.Wash your face and any area that you will be applying makeup to and than dry thoroughly.Apply a thin coat of cold cream to the entire face.Using a cotton ball, gently pat cornstarch over cold cream.
