We are going to an adult Halloween party a week before Halloween and we're needing some ideas. We live in Southern Illinois so it will be a little chilly that night. I wear a women's Medium and he wears a men's Large. Thanks in advance for any ideas!!
from the cat and the hat; thing 1 and thing 2
You may not believe just how easy it is to create your own Halloween wigs. All you need are some basic items and your imagination to make any style of wig your want. Of course, it depends on the costume you are wearing, and the effect you want to achieve. But you are only limited by your creativity.
The basics for making your own wig are actually quite simple. You will need a baseball cap, knitted hat, pantyhose, or any other sort of hat that will cover your own hair. Add to this some yarn in any color you choose for your particular wig, fabric glue, scissors, a small cup, and a beach ball or basket ball. You may also require a needle and thread for some of the wigs, if you need to sew the yarn to a knitted cap.
Once you have assembled your supplies, you can begin making your Halloween wigs. Take the cup and glue it to the base of the ball. Use this as a stand for your cap. You now have your head ready to work with. Place your cap on the ball and get ready for a lot of fun.

Cut the yarn into the lengths you want your wig hair to be. You can make short hair, or very long hair. The choice is totally up to you. Next, make a thin line of glue where you want the part to be. You can also make a circle of glue. For a split colored wig, make a line with the glue halfway around your head. Attach the yarn one piece at a time to the glue until the entire ball is covered as you would like it. If you are working on the top, you move the yarn to one side or the other as needed. You may just tie it up to get to the next layer. If using a knit cap you will need to sew the yarn to it instead of using the glue. It sews the same way. Now, you are almost done with the first of your Halloween wigs.
You just need to let the glue dry and you have your very own wig! After the glue dries, you can fix it into any style you like. You may want it to be straight and hanging down, put into ponytails, or just anyway that you would like to show off your own homemade wig. Please do not use your own head as a base for your Halloween wigs model. Always glue the yarn onto a fake model as the glue will be very hard to get out of your real hair!
The tradition of wearing Halloween masks has been a part of the holiday for centuries. People of the old days would dress up as we do now. Some would wear full costumes, while others would just wear face paint or masks in imitation of devilish spirits that would come out for the day. Their belief was that if they could look less human, the ghosts would leave them alone.
Today, there is an extremely wide variety of scary masks available as they are the most common. These are of frightening things like Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, Demons, Skeletons, and George W. Bush. Most of the scary Halloween masks they make have a double that glows in the dark. So, if you need to be spotted in a dark place, like streets to trick-or-treat on at night, that could come in handy.
Another type of mask is the funny mask. These usually imitate well-known icons of pop culture. Some people find masks of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and even some of the older ones like Ronald Reagan. Then there are just silly ones, like those of cows, or tacos. However, if you do go with a taco mask, it's advised that you try to smell the part as well.

Some people get quite creative during this time and go for Halloween masks that are truly all their own. They could create a mask of a type of weather, like a hurricane or a tornado, or they could make a hat out of aluminum foil that connects to an alien drawn on a piece of paper over their face.
If you wanted to get more creative than that, you could try fashioning a faux chest or box to go over your head. Though you will have to be willing to tolerate hearing wise cracks about "thinking outside the box" if you decide to go with that. Or, if you want to be inventive but feel lazy, you could scribble words on a blank piece of paper, cut little holes for your eyes, mouth, and nose, and go dressed as a book.
Making your own mask is also advised if you don't like the thick feel of most Halloween masks, so making your own out of paper and string could be an easier light weight alternative. Whatever you are this year, remember, this is the day to be as weird, scary, and revealing as was socially unacceptable just the day before. It's only for one day a year, so make the most of it.
