Great Times Creating A Wizard Halloween Costume

By Carl Cassidy


Halloween is supposed to be scary. But many think it's supposed to be a night of sexy outfits, or even funny ones. If you can be creative, like putting together a wizard Halloween costume, you are guaranteed to have a great time.

Wizards are all about magic. So, you will need a prop. You can use a crystal ball, but to make it more imaginable, and a bit safer, you can use a medium-sized, semi-clear bouncing rubber ball, instead.

A wand is a great idea, and it can be any color, but keep it safe and don't have one that's too pointy. A soft star at the end is a good idea. It can be made of a plastic stick or a wooden stick. You can paint it gold for effect, or some other sparkly color.

Now you'll need a hat. A cone-shaped hat can easily be made out of a stiff material. Or you can use a witch's hat and put stars or glitter on it. That will make it more like a wizard's hat.

If you would like to make one yourself, just find the material that will be stiff enough to stay erect as a cone. Draw a large circle, and this will be your pattern. Cut a slit in the side of the circle, and it should go no further than the middle of the circle. Then just fold your material in until it fits your head. It won't have a brim, but you can add a rubber band to it so that it can stay on by the rubber band holding snuggly under your chin. Just staple it to the sides of the hat, or sew it on.

Now your costume should be extravagant. If you don't really sew, no problem. Pick out the greatest material you can find at the fabric store. They have a vast selection of sparkly and glittery materials during the Halloween season.

Your costume can be elaborate, of course, if you know someone who knows how to sew. But if you don't have that luxury, just cut a hole for your head in the middle of it, hold out your arms, and sew the sides leaving spaces for your arms to fit through. You can wear a shirt that matches or just has the same color sleeves, for effect. A wizard Halloween costume is always fun for the special night.
