No holiday celebration is complete without skeleton Halloween costumes. There have been many variations on this classic. Some go the extra mile with an elaborate full body suit, while others may keep it minimal with corpse face paint. Whether you're going for a full costume or just something to feel festive, skeleton Halloween costumes offer variations on either end of the spectrum.
Skeleton Halloween costumes are a bit trickier to create, although they are not impossible. The easiest route is to purchase one. These are often a body suit or top and bottom that are black, with bones printed on the front and back. Sometimes, glow paint is added for an extra effect in the dark. Even if you do not plan to spent the night in the graveyard, this can still be fun at parties that often include darkened lighting for Halloween.
Sweat pants with matching shirt or with a long sleeved black t-shirt will serve as good base for your skeleton Halloween costume. You might also consider buying one of the joined cardboard skeletons meant to hang for decoration on this holiday and use it as a pattern for your bones.
An easy "out" to the question of what to wear for Halloween can use the skeleton design. Consider painting your face like a skull. If you wanted to get really elaborate you could add bones on your hands (and arms, if they will be bare). Then just wear whatever clothing you like!
If you are short on time you could use your own clothes and a few easily purchased accessories to give the impression of a skeleton Halloween costume. From earrings and other jewelry to gloves printed with bone images, these props are widely available and inexpensive as Halloween approaches each year. Jewelry of plastic bones combined with a dark outfit and a good mask is a quick and simple way to become a virtual bag of bones.
Other costumes can also benefit from the addition of skeleton accessories. A skeletal fish hanging from the belt of a pirate or a caveman with a large bone as a club might be just the touch you need for trick or treat night. How about a grave robber dragging a loosely connected plastic skeleton behind him?
Witch doctor costumes go well with bones. Fake bones through the nose special effects can be purchased around Halloween. Make your own witch doctor bone belt, complete with dangling skulls. Maybe a necklace of finger bones as well! Cave man costumes could feature a bone club, carried at the side. If you plan to dress as a mummy, consider adding fake bones, or painting bones on, between your wrappings.
Though not impossible, skeleton Halloween costumes may be a little trickier to make at home than those of other characters. Thanks to the retailers who offer a spectrum of versions from simple and cheap to realistic and reusable, creating your own skeleton is a matter of choice. To save time it's often more fun to purchase or rent skeleton Halloween costumes and add accessories to personalize them. Personalize your skeleton Halloween costume, give it a gender with a pink ribbon and bow on the skull and have some fun with your bones. Edited by Hetsil Protage - 39969
