2007 Halloween Costume Trends for Teenagers

Halloween is knocking at our doors again, and this year are you going to let the run of the mill halloween costume take over again? Or are you going to go out of your way to find the perfect trendy halloween costume that fits your style?! Well keep reading to find out the latest Halloween Costume Trends for teenagers everywhere!

Here is the perfect article for you, you�ll get to pick from a Spartan�s costume, being Harry Potter, a Pirate from the Caribbean, one of the Fantastic Four, a Spiderman or even a Transformer!

Transformers Costumes

Making your own Transformers Halloween Costume is going to be tricky, especially If you want your costume to transform into a car. Of course if we could easily build this type of technology, we wouldn�t be so worried about getting the perfect Transformers halloween costume. You will need to start with some sturdy cardboard boxes, cut them up and glue them together. Once you are done decorating the boxes, have a friend glue the last few pieces together while you are wearing the costume. To add some realism get some shiny metallic paint and spray paint the boxes using your favorite Transformers colors.

300 Spartans Costumes

You will need to get yourself a nice large piece of red material, which you can use a makeshift cape or toga. Next, you can get yourself a pair of sandals and build a pair of nice shin armer out of cardboard. Depending on your budget you could buy some of these accessories at a Halloween Costume Shop, but if you are determined to make your own costume here is how to proceed: find some golden construction paper and draw some Spartanesque patterns on four different sheets. Good luck, young Spartan!

Harry Potter

Now if you would rather be a young Harry Potter this Halloween then here are the materials you will need: one large brown or blue cape, a long piece of wood to make a wand, some face make up to design your lightning bolt and some glasses. For the cape you can either use a robe or just buy a large piece of blue or brown material and fasten it around your shoulders. Next, get some simple face painting materials and draw a nice lightning bolt on your forehead.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3

The good news is that pirate costumes are easy to come by and it should be easy enough for you to customize a generic pirate halloween costume to fit the style of Jack, Elisabeth or Will! Get the typical pirate wares, then for Jack add some eyeliner under your eyes, get a wig with some dreads and start walking like you�ve been on a boat for too long. If you want to be Elizabeth, simply get yourself a nice pirate�s hat and some three quarter pants, add a nice scarf around your waist and hide your hair under the hat.

Fantastic Four

If you want to be the best Silver Surfer in town, you might need to spend a bit of money on silver body paint. But don�t worry, that�s not my only tip: I don�t want you arrested for indecent exposure. Why not find an old pair of jogging clothes or shorts, then spray paint them with some silver paint. Whatever paint you use, be sure it is non-toxic and safe for your skin. Next all you need to do is find a nice surf board!

Spiderman 3

It won�t be easy finding the perfect tights to fit you, but once you do you�ll be so happy that you�ll be climbing the walls! I suggest you get yourself multiple pairs of nylons or stockings and then dye each one a different color depending on how you plan to use them. For instance, you can use one of the pairs as the upper body: so dye the middle part red. This can easily be done using fabric paints. Use blue dye on the stockings you will wear on your legs. For the spidey boots, get an old pair of shoes and spray paint them red.
