If you’ve started thinking about Halloween and unique but inexpensive costume ideas, you might want to read this article for more ideas. You can create two costumes: Kung Fu Panda Halloween costumes and Skeleton Halloween costumes by yourself.
Kung Fu Panda was a recent animation from Dreamworks and it has achieved a great reception in North America this summer. The film used hand-drawn and computer-generated information and was in production for four years. In the movie, Kung Fu Panda is trying to transform his life from a lazy slacker to a Kung Fu master. Jack Black plays the voice of Po and Angelina Jolie plays the voice of the master tigress.
Recent news has it that, in what could be a first for the film industry, Paramount Pictures will accompany the DVD release of Kung Fu Panda on November 9 with a direct-to-video sequel. This is the first time a sequel has been released on the same day as the original.
Halloween is coming up soon and it’s a good idea to plan ahead, especially if you have kids. If you want to keep an informed and up-to-date party image, then a Kung Fu Panda costume sounds like a great idea – you’re sure to get a good laugh as Po the Kung Fu Panda. Kids love to keep up with their party costumes and with the movie and sequel still at the top of the news agenda. The Kung Fu Panda costume should look great on the younger members of the family.
You need black pants and a black sweater with the main part of the chest painted white. You should be able to find a panda mask to complete the outfit. You probably need to fill in the costume since Kung Fu Panda is a bit chubby. If you can’t buy a panda mask, make your own from a piece of painted cardboard.
An all-time favorite Halloween costume for young and old alike is that of a skeleton. This particular costume can be very cheap and easy to put together. All you need is a black sweater and tights along with some fabric paint and maybe a scary skeleton mask. If you don’t have any old black sweaters or socks to spare, you can get them at a thrift store for a few dollars. Kids love to think they look really scary this time of year, which is probably why a skeleton costume has wide appeal.
Whether you’re making cheap Halloween costumes or looking for other cheap costume ideas, the first place to start looking is at home. You probably have some old clothes and maybe some face paints saved that could come in very handy when making costumes.
