Homemade teen Halloween costumes?
With the Halloween season coming up, everyone is either going to be attending or throwing their very own Halloween party. It's the time of year when costume shops come alive, and the internet is ablaze with all kinds of great deals on costumes. However, there is a set of people who-- every year-- decide to go it on their own and make their own handmade Halloween costumes. If you think you may want to strike out on your own homemade adventure this Halloween season, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
It's important that you don't bite off more than you can chew. Unless you're a very accomplished makeup artist, it can be impossible to really achieve the look you see in your head. While it may be attractive to just go all out and try to actualize your total vision, it may be smarter to hedge your bets if you're not all that experienced. Homemade Halloween costumes are only as good as you can make them, and if you take on too much it will be very easy for your costume to turn into something you'll hate very quickly.
So start off small and work your way up. Start with an overall concept that you can work with, but something that is open-ended enough to allow for changes should the need arise. Doctor and nurse outfits are great homemade Halloween costumes, and they can be put together fairly easily. You can also alter them quickly to turn yourself into a zombie doctor, or something along those lines. The key is to base your costume off of something very simple that you'll be able to work with as your skill level enhances and your ideas change.
Homemade Halloween costumes are great, and can actually give you a much better experience than simply buying a costume. When you make a costume yourself it becomes sort of like a part of you-- an expression of your own unique creativity. Have fun with it and let your creative flair come out. You may find that you have a knack for putting these things together that you never even knew about.
Fun and Unusual Sexy Halloween Costumes for Women?
Every Halloween the streets and bars are packed with women dressed as sexy cats, sexy bunnies, and cheerleaders. If you want to stand out in the crowd, you have to think of something unusual, and fast! After all, Halloween is just around the corner. This article will supply you with some unique and sexy costume ideas for this Halloween. Add your own spin on them, and no body else's costume will come close to yours.
How many times have you seen a girl or woman dressed as a sexy fish or lizard? Either of these makes a great costume. Imagine what you can do with glittering blue green scales! If you'd like to dress as a sexy fish, find a blue or green slinky turtleneck, and style a pair of mittens as pretty fins. Attach a few translucent fins at the back and ribs of your outfit, pair your shirt with a long, tight fishtailed skirt, and you've got a costume. This costume will look best with green go-go boots and a face full of pretty, shimmery green makeup. If you'd rather be a lizard, the basic idea is the same, but wear a hoodie instead. You can cover the back of the hood and sweatshirt with green felt "scales" and even draw the sides of the lizard's face on the side of your hoodie. Your costume is complete when you pull the hood up. If you're a lizard, you could even wear a pair of stretchy green sweatpants with your lizard hoodie. This makes a wonderfully warm costume. For a spin on this look, dress yourself up as the creature from the black lagoon instead. Make fins from a pair of mittens, and paint your face with silver and green scales. If you're worried people won't know what you are, you can always write "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" across the back of your sweatshirt.
A sexy ant would make a great costume. Ants are usually red or black, so you will assemble this costume from a slim fitting hoodie and stretchy pants set in either red or black. Fashion slightly bouncy, oversize antennae, and attach them to the hoodie. This will look best if the hoodie is a little oversize. You can even fashion yourself a little "aphid purse" to carry, as many ants are known for farming aphids, which are plant lice. This would be a darling and very unique costume.
Where can you find a Deal or No Deal girls' costume for Halloween?

What are some good and simple ideas for a 14 year old girl's halloween costume?
The Sun Drop girl- If you know who she is. If not, Sun Drop is a soda, and in their commercial there is a girl who always dances with a can of it in her hands, she wears a read band around her head, a shirt that says Sun Drop (they sell one like it at Walmart)and she wears jean shorts with leggings under them, you can easily just Google "Sun Drop girl"' and she should pop up. (:
- Last year I was Flo, the Progressive girl, she just simply wears an apron saying Progressive on it, and she wears her hair in a bump-it style. (: Once again, its super easy to find on Google if you still don't know who that is. (:
- Cher Lloyd- super simple if you know who she is, she has many different outfits and hairstyles that it should be easy to match her. (:
- I know there are a lot of people who would not call themselves "Directioners" and if you don't you can just skip to #5, but my four friends and I are dressing up as "Girl Direction", in other words, we are dressing up in their casual outfits. I am going to be Louis (I love Louis <3) and so I am wearing red skinny jeans, a striped shirt, a beanie, and my TOMS. (:
- GO AS A HIPSTER ahaha jk, don't, hipsters scare me... well, unless your a hipster... then no offense... (;
So I hope that helped... and if not... then maybe just sit in a bush on Halloween and throw Skittles at people screaming "do you taste the rainbow now?" (:

Creative Ideas from other contributors:
- A bag of jelly beans: When you go to the dry cleaners and they put that bag over your clothes, take it off, cut slits in the desired places, and then you can take balloons and fill them up and tape them to your body. If you want you could also get a giant piece of cardboard and write down all the different flavors.

- A YouTube video - get a big piece of cardboard that covers at least down to your hips, cut out a big square/rectangle where the video would be on YouTube.com Your face should show in this square/rectangle when you get behind the cardboard. Draw YOUTUBE! Make a place for comments and people can actually leave comments on your costume. Cut out holes for your arms or anywhere else needed.
