I Want 2 Be Day 28/02/14

On February 28th dress up as whoever you want to be and help find a cure for kids' cancers.

Support the Kids' Cancer Project by having your very own I Want 2 Be Day. Dress up at your School, Kindergarten or Workplace and donate a gold coin.

Give all kids the opportunity to grow up and be what they want to be.

You can also help by buying an I Want 2 Be bear.

Valentine's Day Costume Idea

Cupid

For a funny twist, this Valentine's day dress up as Cupid.

Cupid is the god of love, desire, attraction and affection. He is always portrayed as a youth or child with small wings and carries a bow and arrow. The bow and arrow are the source of his power and any person shot by Cupid's arrow is struck by love and desire.

All you need is a white nappy (big enough for an adult), you can also wear white shorts or a toga. Small white feather wings and a bow and arrow.

If you are a girl you may want to wear a red tutu, tutu dress, or angel costume, instead.

Summer Costume Party

Summer is a bit hot for people to wear full fledge costumes. So if your birthday happens to be in the summer and you are set on a costume party, try to do a theme that involves light garments.

Hawaiian Themed Party

The best one is a Hawaiian themed party. It is even a better theme than many others because there are lots of easy decorations available (tropical flowers, flower garlands, seashells, etc), drinks with tropical fruits and little umbrellas, and you can play Hawaiian music. If you want to go that extra mile, you can also serve Hawaiian food.

As they arrive, greet each guest with a Hawaiian lei in the traditional Hawaiian style.

Organise Hula (grass skirt) dancing competitions, Limbo dance, and Hula Hoop contest.

Roman/Greek Costume Party

A Greek or Roman costume party is another good one for the summer because togas are made of white, light fabric.

The guys can go as a god with a white tunic, a Roman Emperor or Caesar,  a Gladiator with just a skirt without shirt, or a Spartan.

Women can dress up like goddess with the white or gold tunics or Greek/Roman nobility with the same kind of dress.

For decoration use plates with food, lots of cushions (seating can be on the floor in cushions or on low couches and lounge chairs. If your budget allows it you can also hire some props such as statues and columns.

The main drink must be wine served from an amphora. For food use seafood and Mediterranean salads, couscous and olives.

DIY Superhero Costume

I forgot to mention in my previous post that another easy way to create your own superhero is to use a Morph/Skin suit.

You can wear it with or without the hood. Wear some bright coloured jocks on top of your suit, add a cape and a simple mask and you are good to go.

DIY Superhero Costume Ideas

You have been invited to a Superheroes party. Great!! But, what do you wear?

You visit your favourite costume shop, if you are a guy you'll find:

• Batman
• Robin
• Green Lantern
• The Flash
• Iron Man
• Zorro
• Ninja Turtles
• Thor
• Captain America
• Spiderman

and there the list pretty much stops. For girls is even worse:

• Wonder Woman
• Supergirl
• Batgirl

and if you stretch it you get:

• Miss Ironnet
• Female Robin
• Spidergirl
• Female Zorro

So you choose one and when you get to the party find that there are 10+ others dress exactly like you. Maybe it's time to get creative. Choose an obscure superhero and make your own costume or even better, create your unique superhero.

Here are some easy steps for creating your own superhero:

1. First lets choose a character: you could use an animal: SuperPug, SuperParrot, SuperGecko, Snakeman, etc. You get the idea. You could use a fruit or vegetable: SuperBroccoli, Onionman, Peachgirl, etc. You can use an object: StaplerMan, SuperPencil, SuperIce, etc. Or even a colour: SuperRed, GreenMan, etc
2. Once you have you character it's time to think of the costume. Think of the colour scheme.
3. There are a few accessories which are common to most superheroes: tights, cape and a big logo (initial) for the front of the costume.
   The tights you'll have to buy, and it's easy to get them in pretty much any colour.
   The cape you can buy it. Red, blue, black you will have not trouble finding, other colours are more difficult. You can also make it yourself, it is quite easy. Buy a piece of fabric and cut a half circle. Attach two pieces of velcro about 15cm from the centre point of the semicircle on each side to attach the cape to your top. If you see that the fabric is likely to come apart easily without a hem you can seal the edges with PVA glue.
4. To create the logo choose a metallic fabric. In a piece of paper draw the first letter of your character name or you can create a more fancy logo, or ask a friend to draw you one. It has to be big enough to stand out. Once you are happy with it, cut it out and using PVA glue evenly glue the paper cutout to the back of the fabric. Leave it to dry and then using small sharp scissors cut around the paper logo, trimming the extra fabric. You could add an edge with black marker if you wish to make it stand out more.
5. Find a tight fitting top that will match your overall costume and glue the logo on it.
6. You can use left overs for the logo or cape fabric to create a belt.
7. Now all you need is a mask. A plain black mask will do fine in most cases. If you chose an animal you can buy an animal mask. You can also make your own mask by cutting a strip of fabric about 5cm wide and 80cm long. Cover your eyes and with a marker draw a point in the centre of each eye (you may ask somebody's help). Cut two holes for the eyes where the marks are. Another alternative is to use face paint to draw a mask on your face.

And there you have it, you'll have an original costume that will be the centre of attention. Everybody will want to know which superhero you are and what are your special powers (think out some of them before getting to the party).
