Last year I dressed my two girls as an angel and a devil - more than one neighbor commented, "Oh, you dressed them as themselves!" (You might say my kids have a reputation... the older one is perfectly well behaved and the younger one is an absolute terror!)

Along the same lines as the dice, when i was a kid, i used a box and made up a Rubix cube costume. Everyone thought it was really clever. Just glue different color squares on the box.

those are cute, we are going to be bunnies. I like making spider cup cakes, any old cupcake with black or chocolate frosting, and put white icing on it in a spiral, then take a toothpick and put lines through it starting from the center to out, then you can put fake spider rings on it, looks adorable.

I vote for any costume which is homemade & easy to move in.....no boxes!

My fav was "autograph hound": we used a tan (or gray) sweatsuit. I sewed patches of black & white on it. We found a dog headband mask with ears & the top half of a dog face (nose, with eye cutouts). Oh, & we sewed a tail on the costume. My son's friends used a permanent marker to "sign" the autograph hound. & the best part was that he used the costume for a PJ for the next two winters!

Another fav was "King of Hearts"- from a deck of cards. We got a Burger King crown & painted it out. Added fake jewels. I used a red sweatsuit for the base, & then I took a yard of cream fleece (or white quilt batting works, too). This overcoat was simply a rectangle of fabric with a neck hole cut out. I then used felt cutouts for the design of the playing card....for the hearts & the letter "k". We used a leather belt to hold the overcoat onto his body....& it held his fake sword. Cuter than cute.

& one more: "a pile of leaves". I took a dark green sweatsuit & several vines of fall silk leaves. Cut the leaves off the vines & sewed them onto the sweatsuit in an all-over, random design. A stocking cap covered with leaves & a few on the shoes .....& we were done. My son had a BLAST tucking down into a ball & then jumping up & scaring people as they walked up to our house! Oh, & I still use this costume as a prop for Halloween, with a scary mask & stuffed like a scarecrow!

I like the dice better of the two....more creative. (Paint a big box white and draw the black circles on it.) Years ago, I did the "Jogger" costume, going out in a pair of sweats and a headband. I got the stink-eye because I didn't *really* dress up.
