Cute Halloween Costume Ideas For Twins

Finding matching costumes for twins can be a challenge whether Halloween is six days away or six months away. If you're frantically trying to find ideas for costumes, slow down, take a deep breath, and relax. Costume ideas are easier to come by than you might think, and sometimes costumes for twins come together with hardly any work at all. Twin costumes can be drawn from more obscure characters because there are two people, and often times having two costumes from a similar movie or show makes the characters more recognizable. Here are a few strategies for picking out cute costumes for twins.

Cute Halloween Costume Ideas For Twins

Sibling Based Characters
Some characters seem like they were made to be turned into costumes for twins. There are several examples that get repeated often like Thing 1 and Thing 2 from The Cat and the Hat. These costumes are easy to make and don't require more than two red jumpsuits and some blue wigs or hats. Other good ideas include characters who are similar in age, like Hansel and Gretel or Tommy and Chuckie from The Rugrats TV show. Both of these pairs are easy to duplicate.

Dynamic Duos
Everyone knows Batman and Robin, or Rocky and Bullwinkle. Superhero pairs or famous duos from TV make great costumes for twins. These costumes look their best when the two characters dress up together. As with most costumes for young people, the details aren't important when making a costume. Instead, try and focus on one important part of the costume. For a Batman costume, simply find a black top and a black bottom and add the signature Bat symbol. This keeps the cost down while still providing a recognizable look. Other good ideas for twin's costumes include Woody and Buzz from Toy Story, Disney Prince and Princesses (like Aladdin and Jasmine), Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, and Calvin and Hobbes.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can also pair a famous hero with a villain. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, Harry Potter and Voldemort, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are all recognizable heroes and villains.

Animal Pairs
Animal costumes are great for twins, and there are two main ways to go about selecting the perfect pair. Male and female animal costumes are usually easy to make and have only one or two distinguishing characteristics. For instance, a male lion costume is the same as a female lion costume except that the male lion has a mane. You can also distinguish the animals with a slight feminine touch, like a pink bow for the female and a blue tie for the male. This way you can minimize the cost of making the costumes by purchasing two identical outfits.

There are other famous animal pairs that can be used if you don't want to make each costume stand out more. There are several animals that have been paired in famous stories, like an elephant and a mouse, or a fox and a hound, and there are also animals that naturally fit well together. These animals include things like a caterpillar and a butterfly, and a shark and a fish. You can also pair animals with inanimate objects like a monkey and a banana or a termite and some wood.

Funny Objects
Most object interact with other objects regularly, and pairing them together to make a costume can be not only funny, but also highly original. Things like a pen and paper, or a hot dog and a bun are usually associated as one object, but they can easily be broken into two for twin's costumes. Another bonus of going of basing your costumes off of objects is that they are often easy to duplicate without much work.

To make the pen and paper costume, you only need a few pieces of fabric and some blank clothing to sew onto. Cut out two flat pieces of white fabric for the paper costume, and sew them together to make a piece of paper. You can add scribbles or lines on top of the paper if you want to add more detail. Be sure to leave the bottom open so that wearer can put the costume on. To make a pen, start with sweatpants and a top that are matching colors. The simplest color to work with is white. Sew on a few letters, Bic is short and gets the point across, and add a black hat with a "tail" for the part of the cap that holds the pen in your pocket.

Few characters, or objects for that matter, exist solely on their own. Almost any book, movie, TV show or even household object has a pair to go along with it. The trick to finding a good costume isn't to find something that someone else hasn't done, but to add your own little touch to make the costume original. With a little bit of thought, and a little bit of work, you can have the perfect costumes for twins this Halloween.

Bastille Day Perfect For French Costumes

Americans have just finished celebrating their Independence Day, and a mere ten days later it's time for France to celebrate its liberation. Bastille Day is a summertime celebration that commemorates the end of the constitutional monarchy and beginning of the democratic republic of France. On July, 14th 1789, the French middle and lower-class masses led an uprising of discontent against the government and stormed on the Bastille prison, a symbol of power and corruption across the land. Today, the holiday is known as "Fete de la Federation" in France and is celebrated with parades on the Champs Elysees, festivals of the arts and wild merriment.

Bastille Day Perfect For French Costumes

Celebrate Bastille Day yourself with a historical reenactment, complete with French costumes inspired by this tumultuous period marked by the "haves" and "have nots." Women's French peasant costumes will be made of simple, tattered fabrics such as full skirts and pleated blouses with a white mop cap. A man might wear plain trousers rolled up, a billowy linen shirt and a red sash tied around the waist. Folks often like to dress up as French prisoners in black-and-white prison costumes accented with a red neck scarf, beret, and pencil thin mustache - not exactly the late 1700s look, but funny!

Of course, no Bastille Day celebration would be complete without a King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette costumes. After the ransacking peasants pillaged and burned down their chateaux, the royal couple took refuge at Versailles until they were eventually captured years later and executed by guillotine for treason. Elaborate French costumes made of rich fabrics and embellishments noted in the 18th century make the perfect aristocratic king costumes and queen costumes. A Marie Antoinette costume should be accessorized with a large pompadour wig, elaborate faux jewelry, a folding fan - and a court of ladies in waiting.

Bastille Day parties also feature every other sort of French costume that you could imagine --- anything that conjures up an image of this colorful country. From a sexy French maid costume and an impressionist painter holding a palette of colors to the stereo-typical Frenchie dressed in a beret and signature black-and-white-striped, boatneck shirt popularized by the low-ranking sailors who swabbed the decks centuries ago. Fun French costume ideas for couples include a larger-than-life bottle of wine paired with a big wedge of cheese! Viva la France!

It was easy to tuck all my hair inside which meant my wig stayed put and didn't move. I've never used one of these before but it was SO much easier than using tons of bobby pins which are a pain (literally) and make your head itch, etc.
