Halloween Costume Ideas for Twins or Best Friends

There are lots of exciting Halloween costume ideas around for twins or best friends of all ages. When working with two's, costuming ideas can be found by looking through storybooks or movie guides to find characters that go together nicely. Twins and best friends can also dress identically, or even plan on sharing the same costume.

Cheap Costumes Are Fun For Twins or Best Friends:

Storybook or movie Halloween costumes can normally be made from clothing or old fashions that you already have, or can easily get from a thrift store. Some thrift stores also have some nice donated costumes from previous years for sale. Ideas to look for while thrift store browsing for that perfect Halloween costume set include:

Old band or drill team uniforms, brownie dresses in brown to use as matching tree trunks with green face and hair, or matching formal wear in tux tops or bridesmaid dresses. Over in the drapery department, one set of drapes can be tucked, cut, tied, or folded into matching toga's, shepherd outfits, ghosts, or used in other creative ways.

Make Two-Headed Fun For Twins or Best Friends:

In the extra-large department of the favorite thrift store, explore the possibilities for a single costume that fits two people. Two-headed Halloween costumes are made with one large shirt that will fit around the top of both people comfortably with their heads sharing the same neck hole. The bottoms of these costumes are normally something that will wrap over the legs in skirt fashion while normal jeans are worn underneath.

Candy M&M Shells Look Good On Twins or Best Friends:

Matching M&M candy costumes can be made for the age-8 and up crowd by swinging through the thrift store toy department. Your mission is to find 4 colorful matching snow sled discs for fewer than 5.00. Poke a few holes into the side if they do not have open handles to tie together, and slide each leotard clad twins or best friends up the middle between one set of two tied discs. To finish, use safety-style light reflecting tape for the front candy logo letter.

Don't Ignore Wigs For Twins or Best Friends:

For shorter twins or best friends, Addams Family Cousin It costumes are located in the wig department. Two long-haired wigs put on backwards with the hair in front and a hat on top work to imitate this character. The hair can be pinned to the side for a guaranteed safe walking experience while going house to house in this Halloween costume.

Super Fun Idea For All Halloween Twins, Best Friends, and Chaperoning Parents:

One of my personal favorites for a Halloween costume is found over in the snow gear section of the thrift store. Parents? Don't just buy two matching ski masks, buy three. Every costume that can be topped with a ski mask nicely should be topped that way if the big goal is to have lots of fun on this candy holiday.

When any costumes or lack of a costume is topped with a ski mask, nobody knows who or what is underneath those Halloween costumes unless you say something. Parents in ski-masks will be mistaken as children; children will be mistaken for other children, and all it takes is stubborn silence from the wearer to have the time of their life. The crowd goes nuts trying to figure out who you really are.

With ski masks being used for Halloween costumes, add something to carry to complete the made-up look for the twins. Small suitcase = Avon Lady. Briefcase = Traveling salesman. Golf club = Golf pro. The ideas are endless on what you can become with a simple ski mask Halloween costume look for twins or best friends who are planning on going out for trick-or-treating together this year. Enjoy your Halloween!
