Make Your Own Halloween Costumes

Lions and tigers and bears, Oh my! The only thing that may be more frightening than a Wizard of Oz type dream is the prospect of making your own Halloween costume. Adults especially tend to be more conservative when it comes to costume parties, and opt to rent or buy one of the more popular (or perhaps available, depending on your timing) selections so as not to seem overly spirited for the occasion. If you happen to be on a budget, or want something that will make you stand out in a crowd, I suggest you consider making your own costume. The beauty of Halloween is that you can dress up as anything you can imagine and not be frowned upon by the Halloween police. The sky is the limit...you can get as extravagant or as simple as your imagination, financial situation, and courage will take you.

Materials for your fashion statement can be gathered from items around your house, around the block, the local thrift shop, or dollar store. This is where you really have to think. The possibilities are endless. I will attempt to describe to you some of my more memorable costumes in order to spark your inner child to dream up a costume that will be the life of the party. Keep in mind the fact that if someone has to ask you what your costume is, the more attention it will get later in the night.

The Concorde-yes, the French jet liner famous for its slanted nose and posh accommodations. A large cardboard box is all that is needed to cut out the wings, tailpiece, and helmet. Attach the wings with string, yarn, or twine that form loops for your arms. The tailpiece can be slotted so a belt will provide the needed support. The helmet is created primarily by a cardboard crown that fits the wearer's head then adorned with two conical pieces (one of which is about one-half the size of the other) of construction paper formed to make the nose.
The cardboard can then be spray painted, covered with freezer paper or construction paper to make it white. The costumee should wear a white shirt and pants to finish the effect.

An Ocean Wave-This is a very easy costume to make. All that is needed is a sheet with a hole cut in the center to accommodate a person's head. A couple cans of spray paint of varying blue hues will transform this ordinary linen into a sure conversation starter. This can be worn alone, or a cardboard crown can be fashioned to complete the wardrobe. A surfer, seashells, or fishes attached to the sheet provide nice finishing touches.

A Jellyfish-This is another very easy costume that will have your fellow partiers green with envy. An ordinary clear garbage bag with a hole in the top for your head provides the basis for this hilarious costume. Additional touches can be added by draping crepe paper streamers from your belt to give the appearance of propulsion tentacles.

Cardboard boxes are plentiful and can be fashioned to make wonderful costumes. Some more popular choices are a computer, a robot, a television, or any other "boxy" thing that strikes you. Some have even elected to go as a box!

Thrift stores offer a plethora of costume possibilities. Wigs, trenchcoats, suits, dresses, and accessories are readily available for your fantasy to unfold.

There you have it, unlimited possibilities await you. Be bold, be daring, be anything but practical when it comes to making your own Halloween costume. It will be one of the most memorable nights and is sure to bring compliments for years to come. It is a very satisfying experience knowing that you have envisioned a work of art and brought it to reality with your own two hands without going into the poor house to do it. Now sit back and reward yourself for a job well done.

Features and Characteristics of the Action Figure

Action figure are a posing stature of characters made of plastic and other materials often based on the characters from a movie, video game, television programs or comic books. The usual target market of these action figures are for the boys. Restorative action figures are occasionally referred to as action dolls because of its featured clothing styles.

These action figures were mostly well-liked by boys since they represent the usual masculine characters that are strongly associated with the globe. They were first promoted as childrens toys, but action figures have developed a wider acceptance as male adult collector's items and have been created purposely with that thought in mind. With this situation, those items had been popular for display intentions.

The production of Action Figures

Raw materials - aluminum wires, modeling clays and different sculpturing tools were utilized for making the sample products. The concrete figures were patterned from the plastic resins, like acrylinitrile butadiene styrene or the ABC. It is a form or a harder plastic material used in forming the main body frame.

The softer plastics such as polypropylene and the polyethylene were usually used for molding the little accessories and costume parts. Assorted fabrics like nylons and rayon can be utilized for the costume gears together with the body set of clothing, shawl, and the face masks. For its final beautification, acrylic paints from variety of colors that could be utilize for decorating the figure.

Design - the real design process starts with the sketches of the projected figures, followed with the creation of the clay model. This trial product was made through the bending aluminum wire to shape the framework of the action figure. The wire outline comprises the figures of the extremities posing at the common stance to be assumed by the figure.

Sculptors will then put the clay to its framework to provide the desired essential shape and weight. The clay could be slightly baked for the duration of prototyping procedure to harden it. After the creation of the basic forms, the sculptors will concentrate for the enhancement of the leg, arms, facial expressions and everything with in the body. After the head attachment, costumes will then be sculpted directly to the body.

The sculpted model will then be sent to the manufacturer for the approval. When all the detailed designs were finalized, the sculpted model will be used in making the pattern that will be forming plastic pieces in the mass-production figure.

Features

Articulation - the most common feature above all action figures is the body articulation, regularly referred to as joints. The very necessary forms of articulations were comprised by the neck joint, shoulder joints, and the hip joints. It also includes the wrists, bending knees and the swiveling waist.

Accessories - not every action figures includes accessories. It is an additional item that is proved to be essential to the characters and its efficacy as interactive toys. Though, due to possible safety concerns, the accessory methods saw a declination in the middle of the 1990's.

Freddie Mercury Fancy Dress Costumes - 5 Accessories to Help Make the Perfect Freddie Mercury Outfit

Of all the many spectacular outfits that Freddie Mercury wore over the years, perhaps the most famous of all was the 1986 Wembley yellow jacket outfit, which he usually wore with a white vest, white trousers and a pair of white trainers.

Most Freddie Mercury fancy dress costumes currently available seem to be replicas of that 1986 Wembley yellow jacket outfit. Although they vary in price and quality, most of these type of Freddie Mercury outfits usually include just the jacket and a white jumpsuit. This means that if you want your Freddie Mercury fancy dress outfit to look authentic then you are going to need to buy some cool accessories.

Moustache

A Freddie Mercury costume from the eighties without a moustache would just not look right, so buying a moustache for your outfit is a must. In my opinion, a groovy hippie moustache makes a good base for your Freddie one, but of course you will need to trim it to make it more authentic looking.

Wig

As well as his moustache, Freddie also had an extremely distinctive haircut. The best way to recreate this look is by purchasing an Andy Warhol black wig and combing it so that it looks like Freddie's 80's crop.

Flash t-shirt

Freddie occasionally swapped the white vest for a white Flash Gordon t-shirt, as first worn during the video for Flash. This is an optional extra, as your outfit is likely going to come with the white vest anyway, but it certainly does look good underneath the yellow jacket.

Retro white Adidas trainers

As with most costumes, the right footwear makes a huge difference to the overall effect of your outfit. During the 1986 Wembley concerts, Freddie often wore a pair of white adidas trainers with blue stripes. You should definitely have a look at some retro trainers websites to try and create this look, or failing that have a look at current adidas range to see if they have any similar trainers on offer.

Microphone and stand

One of Freddie's trademarks throughout the years involved the use of a microphone and stand, minus the bottom section. He would often throw the microphone stand up in the air during his routines on stage. Next to his moustache, this is the thing that most represents Freddie visually and so it is important that you try to recreate the microphone and stand in order to make your costume that little bit more authentic looking.

St Patrick's Day Costumes - 3 Fun St Patrick's Day Costume Ideas

There is no reason to limit your costume wearing to Halloween only! St. Paddy's Day is a great opportunity to get gussied up. Learn what the top three St. Patrick's Day costume ideas are for getting your Irish on.

Idea #1

It is all about the Leprechaun! The most popular and natural Irish costume is dressing as a Leprechaun. It is easy to go the traditional route with the top hat with a buckle, velvet jacket and breeches and a beard. Another option is to put a sexy spin on this classic idea. Short skirts and thigh high stockings with a jaunty top hat for the ladies or shirtless with a green vest and tight trousers for the men.

Idea #2

Wear lots of green accessories. If wearing a pre-made costume is not for you or you just want to personalize the outfit you do choose, you can accomplish this with plenty of green or St. Patrick's Day themed accessories. These can be worn alone or in conjunction with your costume. There are plenty of fun wigs and hats, shoes, glasses, beads and props.

Idea #3

Dress up your dog! Just want to wear a green t-shirt and be out the door but still want to showcase some creativity? Then perhaps putting your dog in a fun St. Paddy's day costume will be for you. There are several Irish and Leprechaun costumes designed just for your pooch.

St. Patrick's Day is a day for fun - so no need to stress yourself out when choosing your St. Patrick's Day costume. As long as you include plenty of green in your outfit or accessories you will perfectly be in the Irish spirit!

Clowning Around in Clown Costumes

You either love them or you hate them. Clowns that is. Not necessarily the person behind the grease paint and baggy trousers, no, rather the persona of the clown itself. If you watch the audience during a clown show you will see expressions that are either filled with joy or tinged with terror. And this is especially evident when looking at children. This fear has been linked to the process whereby a child starts to make sense of facial features and it is thought that the clowns own reliance on exaggerated facial features maybe what triggers the fear which can be carried into adult life. This phobic reaction to clowns is called; coulrophobia.

Fortunately the vast majority of people see clowns for what they are meant to be, bundles of fun who are attempting to bring humour and joy to the world.

Professional clowns have usually attended a clown school where homework revolves around tying balloons into animals and other shapes, learning face painting (something becoming more popular at children's parties) and learning how to clown around and make people laugh. Lastly, a professional clown develops and then keeps to his/her own face make-up design.

A circus clown theme is an excellent choice for costume parties whether for children or adult. The more sinister clown costumes make for great Halloween costumes for older boys and tweenies.

As you would expect clown costumes come in a number of different styles some reflecting the thoughtful and reflective Pierrot style of clown, or the Harlequin clown, often seen as the leader of the group carrying a slapstick with which he exerts his control, albeit that he inevitably loses the stick and the group use it against him.

With the exception of Pierrot and Harlquin, clowns will be garishly dressed and can either have a bald head or colourful mop head so finding a clown costume for yourself or your child should be easy. Patterns for clown costumes are readily available from larger haberdashers and colourful fabrics are all you would need. If making a costume is too time consuming due to the popularity of the theme, clown costumes are readily available all year round.

If you choose to buy a clown costume then the options will be between visiting your local fancy dress store or shopping on-line through an internet based fancy dress costume site. In either case, they should also be able to offer you a selection of clown wigs, oversized clown props such as glasses, bow-ties, flowers and combs all or any of which will squirt water along with the more skilful spinning plates and juggling balls. And don't forget your clown make-up and false nose.

Online retailers tend to lay their shops out so that it's easy to find the costume that you are looking for and a few will have an exceptional variety of fancy dress costume accessories. And in the main, it is the careful selection of your costume accessories that really brings the whole costume together.

CGRHD reviews ATARI 7800 GAMEPAD controller

Classic Game Room HD reviews the Atari 7800 gamepad controller for the Atari 7800 video game console. The Prosystem was not fortunate to get a pro level controller in North America.... however much of the rest of the world was very lucky and got this awesome Nintendo style game pad controller with two buttons and a digital thumb pad. The textured feel fits nicely into the hands and it plays games from the Atari 7800 and Atari 2600 with ease. I believe this is the controller that gamers in the UK, Europe and Australia received with their Ataris. Sucks for us, we got the dreated Atari 7800 US controller. Thie controller worked well for playing games like Xevious, Donkey Kong, Joust and Ms. Pac Man on the Atari 7800 Prosystem. You could also play 2600 titles like Enduro, Mario Bros., Combat and Adventure. Does not work on NES, PS3, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 or Wii.

Event Planners Use Costumes For That Finishing Touch

What is the easiest way to give your next event or fund raiser that finishing touch? The best events companies use costumes to put their events into the big league. Here are some helpful ideas.

The easiest way to tie in costumes to your next event is to select a theme where costumes are predominant. Popular themes such as Carnival, Mardi Gras or Venetian Ball are the most obvious. But there are other themes that can lend themselves to costumes, food and decor. Your party attendees will love cultural themes like Brazilian, Hawaiian, and Mexican, or era themes such as the Roaring 20's, Dirty 30's Prohibition, Swing, 50's Rock'n'Roll, Disco and so on. Other popular themes can come from movies, T.V. and Pop Culture: Moulin Rouge, The Godfather, Superheroes, Grease, Gilligan's Island, Austin Power, and more recently Pirates of the Caribbean.

The next step is to use costumes in the theme. For example, if your theme is Mardi Gras, use beads, masks, feather boas and coins to decorate. Place these items on the dinner tables and receiving tables. Have staff and catering staff dress in costumes and ask guests to come in costumes. Just make sure that the "dress" is clearly written on the invite so there is no confusion about what they are to wear. Have incentives for guests by offering door prizes for best costumes.

Another way to include costumes is to have grab bags full of costume accessories tied into the theme that can be left in the guests hotel suite prior to the event or when they arrive at the front door. A disco theme could have funky glasses and an afro, Mardi Gras theme elaborate mask and beads, and a Woodstock theme peace necklace, tinted sunglasses and a flower child wreath. That way, if guests haven't arrived with any costumes, a few accessories can easily create the look for the event.

If the event has karaoke, you can even have small groups have a dress-up table where they can select costumes that tie in with their song, such as "Summer Lovin'" from Grease or "Love Shak" by the B52's. Another popular idea is to have a dress-up photo booth. Guests can select costumes and accessories from racks and have pictures taken by a photographer as a souvenir of th evening. The costumes can be tied into the theme such as saloon costumes for a cowboy theme or groovy 60's costumes for an Austin Powers theme. A bonus is to have a painted backdrop and photo printer on hand for immediate prints!

Whatever you do, don't pressure your guests to wear full costumes. It's supposed to be fun, so let them express themselves how they want to. Remember, the idea is to create a memorable evening that your guests will talk about for days and months to come.

Plus Size Halloween Costumes

Dressing up in costume is a fun way to let your personal style run wild. Halloween is the peak season for costume shopping and just because you wear a plus size doesn't mean you're limited in your costume choices. Today savvy clothing and specialty stores have begun paying attention to the needs of plus size women and this extends to offering plus size Halloween costumes.

When shopping for a plus size costume, give yourself adequate time to choose a costume and outfitting it with the necessary accessories. You can give yourself a head start by following the suggestions below:

*What's your theme? -- Unless the party you're invited to is based around a theme, you're free to choose whatever theme suits your mood. Do you want funny, scary, historical, or sexy? There are even plus size couples costumes available.

If you can't decide, then just browse through the many clever plus size adult costumes available on-line. If you already have an idea for a costume, then you're more than likely to find it with a little searching.

*Available sizes -- plus size costumes are available in most of the women's plus sizes. Some costume styles top out at a size 18 while others are only available in sizes 18-24. However, many are available from 1X to 4X, which should accommodate many plus size shoppers.

*Don't forget the accessories -- a pirate needs a sword and a witch needs a broom, but don't assume these essential accessories are included in the base price of a costume. So be sure to see which items are included and which are sold separately. Some items like sunglasses will need to be purchased elsewhere.

*Remember the practical side -- evenings in late October, when most Halloween parties are held, can be somewhat cold in northern climates. So be sure your outerwear will fit comfortably over your costume.

A beer keg or whoopee cushion costume will require a more creative approach to keeping warm. A better idea is to make arrangements with the host/hostess to let you change into your costume after you arrive at the party.

If you're going with a sexier look that exposes a lot of skin, then a pair of stockings may be an additional accessory you'd like to consider.

*Safety First -- the goal of any party is to have fun, but please take the time to prevent carelessness from ruining your fun. Avoid costumes made from highly flammable material such as paper and don't add anything such as cotton balls to your costume. All it takes is to wave this material near a candle to set off a tragic accident. And it goes without saying, never drink and drive!

Preparing for a Halloween or costume party takes a little extra effort and planning, but if you approach it with creativity and the right spirit, you'll guarantee yourself a wonderful time.

Choosing the Right Fancy Dress Costume Accessories

Fancy dress costumes are now available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and never has it been as easy to become someone new, to change your own persona, at least for a period of time. Fancy dress costumes are available for just about any theme.

But, it is true that the costume you wear will only be complete with the right costume accessories. It is possible to buy or rent an expensive fancy dress costume but for it to look incomplete or plain daft due to the lack of the right accessories. For example, if you choose a Roman toga or Greek Goddesses robes without the right footwear - or at least something in keeping with the costume, the total look could fall flat. You may play it for humor and wear black socks and slip-ons but this is probably not the look you set out to achieve - albeit a good recovery plan.

Similarly, who would want to be Santa without a hat or complete set of whiskers - including white eyebrows, a witch without hat and wand, pirate without eye patch and hook (although probably not suited for the young). There are hundreds of examples, but what is important is that this is our expectation when we think of these characters. It is the finishing accessories that make the fantasy come to life.

Most fancy dress retailers and fancy dress costume hirers will have a selection of accessories. The better ones will have these accessories grouped with the costumes to avoid unnecessary searching giving some ideas. It is always advisable when choosing a theme for your fancy dress to identify the accessories that you will want - this may save you wasting time and money. Here are some simple ideas for costumes and accessories that may be linked together;

Beach Party or Luau

This is a great fancy dress costume theme which is becoming more popular for those warm evenings during the summer months. Organise around a BBQ with tropical punches. Costumes are very relaxed but again the accessories will bring it all together; simply these will be from; sun glasses, bottle of sun cream, flip flops or sandals, Hawaiian leis, wristbands, anklets etc, tropical flowers for the hair, straw hat.

Fairies, Princesses

The most common mistake with these costumes is to forget the feet. Both themes normally include pretty dresses, and pretty dresses require pretty feet - unless you are trick or treating, in which case you want warm and sensible footwear.

Fairies have wands and these can be as elaborate or as simple as you want - it would normally depend on the age of the Fairy, the younger the fairy the more simple the wand (as it's more likely to be lost or broken). If you are making one, then a foil or ribbon covered stick - with padded end to protect eyes etc, with an oversized star made from decorated card on the top. Decoration with plenty of glitter and sparkle. Add a few thin strips of ribbon under the star for that final finishing touch.

Pirates

One of the greatest accessories for pirates is the gold foil chocolate coins that you can buy around Christmas. Cheap and cheerful, if it lasts long enough transfer it to a simple black cloth tie-neck purse and attach to the belt. Great for paying off the debts and also helpful if the buffet is a bit thin. Eye patches come in a variety of styles from simple black stiffened fabric to rhinestone encrusted for the glamorous look - your choice will depend on the overall look you are trying to achieve.

With the recent blockbuster pirate themed films there has been a real explosion in the popularity of pirates as a party theme. The range of pirate costumes available is huge and many cover the two themes of pirates and Halloween... Pirate Bones is a classic example of a skeleton suit integrated with a pirate's costume.

Wigs and Makeup

It would be impossible to leave this topic without some discussion on the incredible advances in fancy dress costume wig design and affordability. For very little money you can now purchase a costume wig for almost any theme. For example, for pirates there are pirate's wigs, buccaneer's wigs, pirate wenches' blond wigs, brown wigs, wigs with beads, wigs with hats attached, wigs with bandannas attached and this is before we look at mustaches and beards - with beads, without beads - the choice is truly amazing.

Makeup falls basically into two groups, face paints which are water soluble greasepaint which will require a greasepaint remover. Greasepaint is the more traditional and is what is used in theatre etc. it can also be messy to wear if incorrectly applied. Face paint offers fantastic results and is more easily applied by the amateur. Both are normally available in kits so it is possible to buy a kit that covers one theme or a number of similar themes.

Hopefully this short article will have given you some ideas and shown you that no matter the costume or theme, it is the accessories that complete the outfit.

American Indian Fancy Dress - 5 Accessories to Help Make Your Female Indian Outfit Look Authentic

American Indian fancy dress for women comes in all shapes and sizes and is a very popular form of Wild West fancy dress for the ladies. You are able to purchase a reasonably good looking Indian outfit at most specialist fancy dress websites these days, but if you want your American Indian fancy dress outfit to look particularly authentic you will need to purchase some extra accessories.

Below are my top five accessory tips to transform your female Indian outfit into something you will be proud of at the upcoming costume party.

Accessory Tip No. 1: An Indian style wig

A traditional style black Indian squaw wig will definitely make a huge difference to the look of your American Indian costume. Try to find a wig that is split into plaits, with or without a headband attached, as they do tend to look the most realistic.

Accessory Tip No. 2: War paint

This is an optional tip, but you may want to do a Google image search for the type of war paint the native Americans used to wear when going into battle. The term "Red Indians" was actually coined by the early settlers due to the red war paint that the natives wore on their faces, rather than the colour of their skin, so it could make your character look more convincing if you apply some Snazaroo red paint to your face.

Accessory Tip 3: Indian style jewellery

It is definitely worth getting some native American looking jewellery to wear with your costume, when you purchase it online. A feathered tooth choker, which is an ivory and brown feathered leather-looking tooth choker, is a good example of some Indian style jewellery that will help to add that extra little something to your look.

Accessory Tip 4: An Indian set

It is also worth picking up a set of wooden items to complete your female Indian outfit, such as a tomahawk, a pipe of peace, a small dagger or even a bow and arrow set. These Indian sets are usually priced very reasonably and can make a big difference to the overall look.

Accessory Tip 5: Authentic looking footwear

As with most fancy dress outfits, the footwear makes a huge difference to how you appear. A pair of women's Native American boots, or alternatively a pair of moccasin style shoes, are definitely the must have accessory to make your American Indian fancy dress costume look totally convincing.

Proof of Santa's Visit

Children love seeing the evidence of Santa's visit Christmas Eve. Use some of these ideas to add a little extra magic to your Christmas morning.

1) Make sure to leave cookie crumbs, some nibbled carrots and, spilled milk from snacks left for Santa and the reindeer.

2) Leave a small piece of red velvet fabric by the fireplace after "Santa" leaves out the gifts. The children will find it Christmas morning and think that Santa ripped his suit when squeezing through the chimney.

3) Santa sure can make a mess when he is in a hurry! Sprinkle some ashes about the side of the fireplace and use some large boots to make bootprints in the soot.

4) Sprinkle some white glitter under the tree as Santa's magical Christmas dust.

5) Leave a few large jingle bells out in the lawn as if they fell off of the reindeer harness. You can also make a few gashes in the yard to show where they landed.

6) Have Santa leave a note to the children on the tree, in a stocking, or on the plate of cookies and make them feel extra special. Santa can make sure to remind them to be good all year long. Make sure to tuck the special notes away someplace safe. It will be fun to read what Santa wrote in the coming years.

Spending time with your child is the most magical gift of all. Christmas is one of the best times to focus on your children and make new traditions and memories that they will treasure forever!

Hannah Montana Dress Up For Halloween

The teen sensation Hannah Montana has taken America by storm. When a popular figure arrives on the scene, it is natural to want to emulate them. What better time to do that than Halloween? If you scour the internet for Hannah Montana costumes, you are sure to find your fill. If you want to make your own, then you are going to have to start with a platinum blonde wig WITH BANGS, of course! No Hannah Montana costume would be complete without it. You may also consider playing up the duality of her Disney character by getting a long brunette wig to wear on the back of your head. Then glue a picture of Miley Cyrus to the back to complete the costume experience.

Hannah Montana, or Miley Cyrus, has met no small amount of controversy this past year. You may also want to put a twist on your Hannah Montana costume by making it emphasize one of her more controversial moments, such as the exposed green bra on her MySpace page or totally naked Hannah Montana dressed in a lone bed sheet. Perhaps you might want to indicate NOT wearing a seatbelt or not having enough tickets in your Montana costume.

Another idea for a Hannah costume is a half and half costume. Put a blond wig on the left side of your head and a brunette wig on the right side. Do your make up only slightly different on each side, and arrange slightly different left right clothing styles. This can be accomplished by pinning half of a skirt on one side and maybe half of a vest on the other side or wearing long white tube socks on one side and long black thigh high socks on the other. Then you can make fun of the fact that no one seems to recognize the one from the other with that simple wardrobe change.

If you are not sure of what types of clothes to wear for your Hannah Montana costume, then Google search Hannah Montana images and look at some of her more exaggerated wardrobes. She uses some crazy accessories like scarves, vests, boots, socks, mini-skirts, sequined shirts and jackets, half shirts and jackets, belts, glasses, necklaces, etc. If you are worried about coming up with something that matches or coordinates well, DON'T! Hannah Montana doesn't. Google has about two and a half million image results to prove this.

If you are still having issues figuring it out, you can Google search "Hannah Montana Costumes" to find over NINETY THOUSAND IMAGES!!!! These ideas are typically going to help with children's Hannah Montana costumes, but, if you are interested in adult-style costumes, the ideas will apply as well.

Christmas Tree Light Magic - How to String Them For Maximum Wow!

Lights on a tree can represent so many wonderful things about the holiday season. The sight of a family sitting around a Christmas tree, the only light in the room, while listening to the Nutcracker Suite and drinking hot chocolate. It seems like a fairy tale, but that's what the season is about; indulging our winter fantasies through festive décor and traditions.

Many people choose clear or white lights because they complement any color scheme or tree theme. Multicolored lights definitely give a festive look and single colored lights like red or blue also go well with certain themes. Lights should be the first thing placed on a tree. Before you start to decorate, pull the tree away from the wall or furniture so you can walk completely around it without obstruction.

How many lights do I need?

A good estimate of how many lights you'll need is to use the measurement of 100 lights for each foot of the tree. So for a 7ft tree, you'll want no less than 700 lights. 100 strand light sets work best for most people. Always plan to pick up an extra set of lights in case of shortage or burnout...you would hate to find yourself beginning your tree trimming and have to postpone it to run to the store for more lights!

Stringing the lights

Of course, test the lights before you begin. Plug in each strand to make sure everything's a go and keep them plugged in as you decorate. It's much easier to string and place them correctly when they're lit. One of the best ways to achieve that "lit from inside" tree is to wrap lights around select branches. Start by purchasing a light controller - a multi-socket extension cord. You can buy these at any home improvement or hardware store. These holiday hookups allow you to plug multiple strands of lights to one cord and control them through one switch. They generally make them in green but they're also available in white for white artificial trees. Attach the cord up and down the trunk of the tree with twine or pipe cleaner. IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the light manufacturer's instructions on strand plug on limits.

Grab a string of lights and start at the top of the tree. Plug the strand into the outlet near the top. Starting at the base of a branch, wrap the cord around the branch. Continue until you reach the tip, then wrap back towards the base. You don't have to wrap it super tight, just enough to give the branch a sufficient glow without obstructing or crushing the individual branches, and at the same time, hiding the wires well. As you work back toward the base, you can wrap around a few individual branches. When you hit the base start on a new branch. You don't need to wrap every single branch either (this would take a ton of lights and probably make the tree look like it was on fire rather than beautifully lit!). Just make sure you are consistent with your spacing from top to bottom. Step back and take a look at the tree to see where there may be gaps. It's even easier to string with an artificial tree, as you can string as you assemble and position the branches. Using this technique will give your tree dimension and depth and make it look like it's lit from within!

Enjoy your lit tree. Memories are only a light strand away...

Poinsettia - The Christmas Flower

Poinsettias originally came from Mexico and Central America. The ancient Aztecs considered the poinsettia to be a symbol of purity. Montezuma, the last Aztec king, had poinsettias brought into Mexico City by caravan because the poinsettia would not grow in the high altitude.

The bright petals of poinsettias are actually leaves or bracts, and the flowers themselves are very small and yellow. The Mexican poinsettia is bright red, but poinsettias also come in cream, yellow, pink and peach. Centuries ago, the sap of the poinsettia was used to control fevers and the bracts were used to make a reddish dye. Poinsettias can grow to a height of 16' and thrive in climates where the temperature remains between 50 and 70F.

According to legend, one day near Christmas a Mexican child who was too poor to buy a present for the Christ child picked a bouquet of weeds from the side of the road to offer as a gift. When she reached the church, she went to the altar to offer the bouquet.

To her astonishment and that of all of the onlookers, the plant blossomed in red and green flowers. This was declared a Christmas miracle. From that day on, poinsettias were known as the Flowers of the Holy Night.

Today, poinsettias are the most easily recognized flower symbolic of Christmas. Poinsettias are also known as the "Christmas flower" and "Mexican flame leaf." Poinsettias are now the best selling flowering potted plant in the United States, sold mostly during a six-week period near the holidays.

What Dino to Choose in a Dinosaur Party

On my nine-year old son's last birthday, we had gotten sick of traditional video games, comics, cartoon characters and swimming birthday parties. So I decided to go with a friend's idea and went to organize a dinosaur party. I had it all covered --- the Jurassic-themed plates to the T-Rex cake to the prehistoric birthday invitations. But then me and my son encountered a new dilemma-what kind of dinosaur should he imitate as the main celebrator?

That was soon solved as we discovered that there are a lot of kiddie dinosaur costumes available on the Internet. In fact, you can even create your own costume with some old pajamas, paper mache, some paper plates, markers and a really wild imagination. You can go absolutely wild and think of the most far out designs if you're designing a dinosaur costume. All you need are a few ideas.

My son eventually chose to go as a T-Rex (which is his new favorite dinosaur) but you can choose from an endless number of dinosaurs and other creatures, depending on what your son or daughter wants.

Here are just a few options:

Cave Man/Girl- Alright, so it's not exactly a dinosaur or even reptilian looking, but these costumes definitely belong in any dinosaur party. They're one of the easiest beings to portray at that, with you only needing a camouflage or animal print fabric to make the look complete. You can add more props likes bones or rock accessories to complete the effect.

Triceratops- An all-time favorite with its three horns and large neck frill, it's imposing, big and definitely fun to make and wear. Cardboard is one of the best materials to make the face mask from and a little gluing here and there will make your kid the star of the show.

Stegosaurus- Here's another popular dinosaur costume for the kids. It's one of the most challenging costumes to make yourself or your child because of the plates that run all the way down its back and down to its tail. It's very fulfilling as well, and adding bumps and definitions all over the body with green face paint will make the illusion complete.

Pterodactyl/Flying reptile- This is one of the easiest costumes to hand-make, especially since you can judge how wild you want the wings to look.

These are just a few of the options available to you if you ever find yourself organizing a dinosaur party. You can flash your creative powers and wow all the other parents with your unique approach to children's costumes.

Tips and Tricks to Win that Halloween Costume Contest

One thing that adults never get tired of participating in is a great Halloween party. These parties are a way to show your friends how creative you are. The competition to see see who has the best costume can be fierce! Having the best costume gives you the right to brag for the entire year, so it is definitely worth the time to pick a great Halloween costume.

Where do you go to participate in a costume contest? A friend may host the party, or a nightclub or bar may be running a special promotion that night. If you haven't been invited to a party, why not consider throwing one yourself? These are a great opportunity to gather with friends that you have not seen in a long time. If you don't feel like getting your house "messy", choose the night club option. These are always fun because they will probably be having cash and prize promotions for having the best costume.

Before you go to your Halloween party, you need to decide what you would like your costume to be. If you are part of a couple, you may want to do couple's themed costumes. These can be characters from movies, books, etc. For example, you could go as Donnie and Marie Osmond. Is that choice too conservative for you? Use your imagination!

In addition to dressing as a couple, many people like to choose retro themed costumes. Head into your dad's (or your own depending on your age) closet and select some truly authentic wear. Another great location for retro gear are thrift stores and consignment shops. Keep in mind that many other people will be following this theme as well. Put your own special spin on the idea to truly stand out.

Though these old standbys can certainly do the trick, the key to winning is to think outside the box. The trick to winning a costume contest is to choose something that no one else will have chosen. What was popular in the news this year? You could dress up as any of the celebrity socialites in a jail outfit. What is something wacky around your house that you could dress up as. There was a guy who one such a contest that dressed up as a shower stall. Use your imagination! There really are some cool ideas right at your fingertips for your Halloween costume party.

Regardless of what you choose this Halloween, do not be shy! You must be bold and confident in your choice. Is your costume a little revealing? Who cares! This is Halloween, where you are something you're not for just one night. We are given the chance to take on another persona without judgment. The most important rule for this Halloween is to be creative with your costume choice. That is the only way to guarantee success in a costume contest.

Robert Burns - Burns Night

Despite his tragic demise at a young age of only 37, Robert Burns' collection of poetry and songs has elevated him to the position of being Scotland's national bard. His work had the ability to convey the imagery of liberty and independence for both the common man as well as for the Scots themselves that made Burns a literary hero - a bard.

Born January 25, 1759 the son of a tenant-farming family, Robert Burns was educated well and was well read. During his teenage years and through early manhood, Burns worked on farms and it is during these formative years that he developed some of the passions that remained with him and were expressed through his works. Putting the period into a social context will help to see how some of these passions were fuelled by what Burns could see around him.

This was an age of revolution. The second half of the eighteenth century gave rise to two of the most far-reaching social events in modern history. Firstly, the American revolutions (1775) followed by those in France (1789). The latter part of Burn's life also saw the heralding of the Industrial Revolution and although he died before mass exodus of the countryside to the growing city's factories was some way off, it was imminent. As a counter towards this 'Scottish Enlightenment' movement there was a growth towards romanticising rural life and its communities - the old agrarian Scotland. In deed, Burns' legacy is one of 'ploughman poet' an image that he was happy to develop and portray by turning his work towards attacking the new establishment. His works celebrating the countryside - 'The Cotter's Saturday Night' and 'The Twa Dugs' where he took the side of tenant farmers, are testament to this.

There were other strong forces to which Burns also turned his attention. Firstly, the kirk, or church; the church remained a strong force in Scottish society and Burns' verse was most humorous when he was attacking it and its ministers. He aimed his commentary particularly at the Calvinist preachers with their 'fire and brimstone' approach to preaching. This had the affect however of galvanising them against him and quickly he became the object of criticism in their sermons which was responded to by Burns with even more savage verses. 'Holy Willie's Prayer' is the best example of this.

As we have already seen, Burns - and the Scots of his time we waking up to the realisation that their simply agrarian lifestyle was passing and had seen the crushing of the Jocobite Rebellion and the tragedy in the Highlands. Burns and his contemporaries raised the public consciousness of the Jocobites and Highland traditions and there grew a perpetuating hunger for tales of the adventures of the rebels and other characters associated with these passing times. The song 'Charlie, He's My Darling' is about Bonny Prince Charlie (the Young Pretender) and would be the most well remembered.

Although Burn's had fame he had little fortune to go with it and it was the need to support his wife and family that forced him to become an excise officer - part of the establishment he had fervently attacked -- a position he held until his death. This contrary stance was not something lost on Burns and during this time he wrote the poem 'The De'ils Awa' Wi' The Exciseman'.

Burns' lasting legacy is that of champion to the common man and champion to Scotland. 'Auld Lang Syne' is an anthem to brotherhood and although it is strongly associated with ushering in a New Year it has a wider context. His reputation, as the meaning of his poetry and other works, is truly international and will be celebrated globally this January 25th at Burns Night celebrations anywhere there is an ex-pats Scottish presence.

Tank Tour: World's Largest Private Collection of Historic Military Vehicles (BB Video)

In today's edition of Boing Boing Video, guest-host Todd Lappin explores a massive collection of historical military vehicles tanks collected by an eccentric Silicon Valley multimillionaire. The recently-departed Jacques Littlefield amassed one of the world's largest and most significant collections of this type, and his collection is now overseen by the nonprofit Military Vehicle Technology Foundation. Snip from their description: "Our goal is to acquire, restore, and interpret the historical significance of 20th and 21st century military vehicles. Domestic and foreign combat vehicles such as tanks, armored cars, self-propelled artillery, and other technically interesting mobile platforms are the focus of the collection. We also maintain an extensive technical library that describes many vehicles down to the part level. Aside from the vehicles, there are towed artillery, antitank, and antiaircraft guns. Military support equipment, inert ordnance, and accessories round out the collection." The foundation is supported by public donations, and you can make one at their website if you dig what they do. To make arrangements for tours, you can email tours.mvtf at gmail.com. To arrange access to the collection for commercial purposes: permissions.mvtf at gmail.com. The "tank tour" BBV shot for this episode was organized by BB pal Karen Marcelo and Dorkbot SF. BOING BOING POST: gadgets.boingboing.net

Start Putting Out The Fires - Halloween Firefighter Costume Ideas

Appear as a classic firefighter and you will need to start putting out the fires of desire and watch out for smoldering embers. A firefighter costume for Halloween is sure to be a steamy idea and is sure to get all of the ladies around all hot and bothered. Everyone loves a hero and all Firefighters are heroes. In this article we will give you some helpful hints and tips on adopting a new persona for the night.

A fireman is one of the classic fantasies for women linked with acts of heroism and the mystery of a handsome dark stranger capable of carrying to safety any woman they want to. Most women would admit to having fantasised about being carried to safety from a blazing fire over the shoulder of a strapping fireman. As a man attending a fancy dress party this is almost a sure winner of a costume.

A fireman costume is both easy to wear and this makes it comfortable, the only issue may come from it becoming hot, but hey a fireman striped with glistening bare chest MUST be an even bigger winner. It's that simple! Most internet fancy dress costume retailers will have a range of firefighter costume styles available.

Having the right costume is all well and good but there are some basic rules for playing the role of firefighter successfully. No woman will fall for that 'straight out of the box' costume. You will need to really look the part. Firstly you will need a couple of accessories. Tall leather boots or boot covers - look in the pirate section for these. If you have good quality black gumboots, polish these up and add a yellow toe-cap for the truly authentic look.

If you want to make a memorable entrance you could select a fireman's helmet with a flashing blue light. These have a switch which allows the lights to be turned on and off. With lights flashing, a small ladder or length of garden hose you will certainly take centre of stage.

To achieve maximum effect you could adopt the 'sorry I'm late, I've just been to a fire' look. Using dark make-up smear some dark marks on your face and dirty your hands. This is better and more realistically achieved with real charcoal and ash which can also be used to 'age' and add extra realism to your costume. A dirty breathing mask (from your local DIY store) really makes it look like you've put your life at risk; a must for those extra hero's points.

And as an act of equality, there are now a number of firefighter costumes for women too! These are aimed at being scorching hot and wear one of these and you will be setting off fire-alarms all over the place. Most of these costumes come with boot tops but if yours doesn't team it will long sexy black boots (red if you have them), create your sexiest makeup to look your sexiest best. Complete the look with one of the novelty handbags shaped like a fire extinguisher and you will be the hottest thing at the party.

Haunted Houses - Not For Everyone

What is it about Halloween that transforms ordinary people into seekers of anything dark and unknown? Cemeteries at night, horror films by the dozen or one of the most popular and oldest traditions - the haunted house!

A haunted house is defined as a building that is the center for supernatural occurrences or paranormal phenomena. A house is said to be "possessed" or "haunted" when Satan or ghosts take up residence. Some cases involve otherwise normal people hearing strange noises or having visions of dead people or of objects moving with no visible means of locomotion. That is the type of illusion that most actors, animatronics, sound, lighting and other special effects bring to today's haunted house making them such excellent scary venues. It is estimated that there are over 3,000 haunted houses operating every year in North America alone.

A haunted house should terrify, mystify, shock and disorient its patrons and then let them laugh at their own fears upon exiting. Fear is one of the strongest emotions a human being can experience. There are two basic types of fear a good haunted house can generate; first, the "boo" scare. This is the cheapest but most sought after fright. In the human psyche, there are no lingering effects from this threat. It is accomplished by simply introducing a shocking element by surprise. While causing a scream and a jump in blood pressure, the effects wear off quickly when the person realizes there is no real threat. Chainsaws are typically the favorite for invoking this type of fright. Second is the "lingering" fear. This type of fear is actually a deep sense of dread of what is to come. Approximately 70% of the population is afraid of the dark and their imagination goes into overdrive for what they perceive might happen. The boo scare is the release of this dread. Without the release, the lingering fear can bother guests even after they have left the haunted house.

According to The Haunted American Tours in 2007, the top 10 best most haunted, scariest and creepiest Spook Houses are:

1. Universal Horror Nights, Orlando, FL
2. Shocktoberfest, Reading, Pennsylvania
3. Bennett's Curse-House of the Vampyres
4. Netherworld... Atlanta, Georgia
5. Headless Horseman... Ulster Park, New York
6. Thrillvania, Dallas, TX
7. Frightfest, St. Louis, MO
8. Terror on the Fox, Green Bay, WI
9. Fright World, Buffalo, New York
10. The Nest, Phoenix, AZ

Whether you're a fan of haunted houses or not, one thing is for sure ... haunted houses are here to stay.
