okay so i might buy uggs boots, but i found out yesterday that they are made from sheepskin. so i wanted to know if it is haram to wear something made out from an animal (ex. real fur, sheep wool, and sheep skin)? is it not allowed or haram? thanks in advance!
Muslims is it haram or not allowed...?
no its not haram!
i cant mention any source but from the common knowledge and the practices that are followed here in pakistan (an islamic republic) i can say that its not haram.
people (and even religious organizations) come and collect skin of goats, sheep and cow during eid-ul-adha for sale in the market (to make clothing and shoes).. and if it was prohibited u wont be seeing this i s'pose!
Reply:its allowed
no where in the quran does it say that wearing animal skin is haraam
i love uggs : )
Reply:Nothing is prohibiting you from wearing sheep skin shoes or made of wool.............................
Reply:No..you can put them on.
Reply:To slaughter an animal for it's meat, for human consumption, must be done in a certain way, will only make it Halal ,
if it is slaughter willy Nelly, then the consumption of it's meat is Haram,
But it dose not imply to any thing else
Reply:I dont think it's haram, you can wear it.
And hey, whats the difference between haram %26amp; not allowed... lol
Cheers!
Reply:no its not haram or phorbited. because Allah made us to sacrifice the Sheep/lam. and so i quess we can use there skin also
Reply:Praise be to Allaah.
The skins of animals that become halaal through proper slaughter are pure (taahir), because they become good through the process of proper slaughter, such as the skins of camels, cattle, sheep, gazelles, rabbits and so on, whether they are tanned or not tanned. As for the skins of animals whose meat we cannot eat, such as dogs, wolves, lions, elephants and the like, it is impure (naajis), whether it is slaughtered or it dies or is killed, because even if it is slaughtered it does not become halaal and cannot be good, so it is naajis, whether it is tanned or not tanned. This is according to the most correct opinion, because the most correct opinion is that impure skins cannot be made pure through tanning if they come from animals which we are not permitted to slaughter for food.
As for the skins of animals which have died before they could be slaughtered properly, if these are tanned then they become pure, but before they are tanned they are impure. So now animal skins may be divided into three types:
The first type: those which are pure whether they are tanned or not, which are the skins of animals that may be eaten if they are slaughtered correctly.
The second type: skins which cannot be pure either before or after tanning, because they are impure. These are the skins of animals whose meat we cannot eat, like pigs.
The third type: skins which become pure after tanning, but are not pure before before tanning. These are the skins of animals whose meat may be eaten if they are slaughtered properly but not if they die otherwise.
Reply:no its ok because Allah made animals like the sheep for us to use. either for food or clothing.
Reply:i am not sure i have uggs boots but never thought of it tht way sryy =-D
Reply:its fine...i just bought 2 pairs the other day
Reply:I think its ok to whare it.
Reply:you really wanna wear ugg boots
each to their own i say
Reply:You can wear them as they are lawful animals.\
Although you cannot wear Pig skin's shoes.The most preponderant view of the Muslim scholars is that the pig's leather does not become pure even after being tanned as tanning only removes the impurities that are not from the origin of the thing. In the case of pork it is impure alive or dead. So tanning can not purify any part of it as it can never be made pure. Consequently, it is forbidden to wear made shoes made from pork leather because they are impure and it is forbidden to wear impure things, as it is also forbidden to sell them.
Therefore to my understanding you can wear whatever is being made out from an animal (ex. real fur, sheep wool, and sheep skin)
Rest Allah knows the best~!
Reply:Assalam O Alaikum
Dear its Not Haram because Sheep is Halal Animal for Muslims, you cannot use those things made From Haram Animals.
Reply:don't woory it's fine if you wear something like that it isn't haraam... bye!!!
Reply:it's okay for you to do that, the same question was asked the other day on tv and i remember the imaam saying it's fine!

I think my cat is missing what do I do?
I think my cat has run away! My mom put him outside because he had to use the bathroom and it is now raining! I live in Lahaina, Maui and if you look it up on the internet you will see that there is a big Kona storm going on. He isn't anywhere! I found him as a stray cat so the vet doesn't know about him. He has no collar so they don't know if he is a stray or belongs to someone. He is grey with black stripes (like a tiger), green eyes, he has white on his paws and white boots on his hind legs, he also has white on his belly and chin. He is a very loving cat (ps he is almost kitten size but big) he will stick his face into your arm. I just put flea poisen on him so the fur on the back of his neck might be messed up. If anyone has advice for me let me know ASAP! Also if someone lives on Maui near Lahaina and see's him please take care of him and E-mail me at WindBlowsBubbles on yahoo mail, his name is Tibby %26amp; 1 last thing he has not been nutured yet.
I think my cat is missing what do I do?
Your cat is most likely alright. Cats hate rain so he is probably hiding somewhere sheltered to protect himself. How long has he been missing for? If it's less than 3 days I wouldn't worry, cats are born adventurers, plus you found him as a stray so this applies even more.
A similair thing happened to one of my cats. She was missing for two days and naturally I was freaking out, turns out she was under my neighbours house most likely because it was stormy.
Your cat is probably doing the same, he might even be under your house. Just remain calm, he'll come home soon.
When he does, get him microchipped so if someone finds him he gets sent back to you! Also give him a collar and a name tag with your phone number on it.
Good luck.
Reply:Dont jump to conclusions yet...kitty may be hiding out from the rain! If he doesn't return within 3 days you should put up some "LOST" flyer's with a photo of him...age...color...and phone number. Also keep some kitty food outside so he will eat if he returns and you dont find him right away..
Hope you get kitty back soon!
Reply:Call and report it to the local humane society. That way if he is found they will have a report and know who he belongs to. Try to give as much of a description as you can. Also bring a picture in if you have one.
You can also call the police. Some people will call the police when they find an animal instead of the humane soc.
You can also go the the area where your Mom put him down and try calling for him. Also bring a can of food or a can of treats to shake.
With him not neutered, he may be off doing the wild thing.
Good luck and I hope you find him. Next time i would suggest a leash or a cage. Most cats won't just sit there when you put them down outside.
Reply:Cats are very resourceful and he is probably hiding some place safe...out of the rain... Give it a day... Mean while go out call for him... put a dish of food out for him....Call for him "Here kitty kitty kitty... let him hear your voice.... do not give up.... How long has he been missing....? Put signs up...
Look in the drains pipes and gutters by the road... Under parked vehicles, in the bushes, sheds, under porches,and garages etc. Even check inside your house (My kitty got stuck in a linen closet)... anywhere he could hide... Even go out at night.... Good lucK!!!
I lost my cat a few years ago she was missing for over three days and finally she found her way back... Wet and a little skinny... My sister lost her cat for over 7 days.... We went out EVERYDAY several different times calling for her and she just showed up...My sister swears she showed up because she heard my voice...
Put up signs and hand out fliers in apartment complexes your neighbors describing him and a his name IF he comes for his name.... and give your phone # so people can call and say Hey I think I saw your cat near so-so... Call near by vets and also put fliers up at local vets and inform the Humane society.....
How long have you had the kitty??
Don' t give up.. Ok!!
Reply:put up wanted or lost signs
Reply:Not much you can do right now - I wouldn't worry too much though- cats are ninjas- it'll find somewhere to weather out the storm. If he hasn't shown up in a day or two, you could put some missing posters up - won't actualy help but it will make you feel better, then, about a day after you give it up for dead, it will wander in like nothing happened expecting to get fed- thats my experience of owning cats, anyway...
Reply:Hi!
I hope you will find your cat soon, just look near house properly. Sometimes the lost cats come back home after having a big journey. What I would advise you in case you find him - you should install special chip into him - I did that. If ever my cat misses, I will find him with the help of a satellite. It is very convenient - and it won`t hurt your cat...
Maybe my advice is a little bit late... Anyway all the best in finding your cat!

What is THE WARMEST clothing for EXTREMELY cold and windy weather?
What is THE WARMEST clothing for EXTREMELY
cold and windy weather?
Fur (what sort)? Leather? Synthetics (what sort)?
IMPORTANT:
I ride a motorcycle
even when it's well under 30°C.
At 60 mhp the wind chill can make it as if it were
as low as -10°C with the wind cutting you to the core.
And when your just siting on the bike you don't generate
much body heat (little movement).
I think I may need
mittens (made of ?), boots (made of ?),
underwear/base layer (made of ?), insulating layer/s
(made of ?), and a outer or shell layer/coat (made of ?)
made for a place like ANTARCTICA in bad weather
(-89.4°C/-129°F with hi winds).
I nearly don't care what it looks like.
I just don't want to be cold.
What is THE WARMEST clothing for EXTREMELY cold and windy weather?
What you need is a heated suit,it plugs in to a cigarette lighter (you may have to have one installed on your bike)
My boss rides his Goldwing and him and his wife have them,he says they are great.They have an adjustable thermostat.
I think he paid like $300 for them but they are worth the money.
Check out some magazines or at the dealer......it might be more cost effective than buying all that other stuff you want.
Reply:It is important to think in terms of layers. The more thin, light layers you can ware the better. These layers trap a very good insulator - air - and slows the loss of your body heat. Top this off with a duck-down insulated, wind-proof jacket.
Reply:Get Ugg boots and they are warm but put like four layers of socks under them lol....
For a coat-get a northface they are warm and then put like a leather jacket on top of it.
I'm sure if you look on google for stuff you will find it
Reply:fur like the eskamoes were!
Reply:Get Goretex clothes insulated with synthentic down, such as Holofil or Quallofil. Those are good even for the Sourth Pole.
Reply:I wear a snowmobile suit, scarf, mittens that go halfway to the elbow (5-finger gloves won't keep your fingers warm) and rubber boots - like totes, over your regular shoes.
Get a fairing also.
Reply:Gortex boots w/ socks that don't sweat. layers, wool, down.
Check the ski shops/ hunting deptartments or on-line ordering.
Cabello's outdoor type places. The hunters layer up and sit out in the wind and cold for hours.
Reply:WOOL, WOOL,WOOL!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Her in the far northern part of Canada we wear of lot of Down filled clothing great for holding the heat in..plus fleece pants
Reply:i have a synthetic jacket that i bought from steve and barry's for $10... that thing gets hot! so i would recomend synthetic insulation (you definatly want a bubble jacket)... for gloves, you want something thats a tough fabric that doesn't let wind pass... i wouldn't recomend leather, it doesn't stay very warm.... there are other fabrics out there (can't think of the name.. it has the same kind of qualities as yard gloves, only with a lot of fur inslulation).... scarves are always good, tie them and wrap them up underneath your jacket... turtlenecks, long johns, and uggs... wearing the long johns under your jeans will keep your legs warm enough.
Reply:Goretex, its fullwwindproof its what we use in the army
Reply:I would say thermal underwear is pretty important as it stops body heat from escaping and covers the whole body. Other than that I'd say that leather is the most practical thing to wear if your riding a motorbike - you need something hugs the body and is easy to move in.
Reply:i would go with cotton, and cotton flannel, except for the outmost layer, which you can get a leather jacket and pants,,,, and layers ,layers layers,,,, go for a turtle neck sweater,,,leather gloves with a cotton lining , stay away from synthetic for the inner layers,,
Reply:Wool, leather, and lots of layers.
Reply:Get a windscreen for the bike. it is much more comfortable than hiding behind the headlamp and gas tank.
I tend not to ride motorcycle cause of the black ice on the roads. You is just an accident looking for a place to happen.

Reply:I wear a snowmobile suit, scarf, mittens that go halfway to the elbow (5-finger gloves won't keep your fingers warm) and rubber boots - like totes, over your regular shoes.
Get a fairing also.
Reply:Gortex boots w/ socks that don't sweat. layers, wool, down.
Check the ski shops/ hunting deptartments or on-line ordering.
Cabello's outdoor type places. The hunters layer up and sit out in the wind and cold for hours.
Reply:WOOL, WOOL,WOOL!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Her in the far northern part of Canada we wear of lot of Down filled clothing great for holding the heat in..plus fleece pants
Reply:i have a synthetic jacket that i bought from steve and barry's for $10... that thing gets hot! so i would recomend synthetic insulation (you definatly want a bubble jacket)... for gloves, you want something thats a tough fabric that doesn't let wind pass... i wouldn't recomend leather, it doesn't stay very warm.... there are other fabrics out there (can't think of the name.. it has the same kind of qualities as yard gloves, only with a lot of fur inslulation).... scarves are always good, tie them and wrap them up underneath your jacket... turtlenecks, long johns, and uggs... wearing the long johns under your jeans will keep your legs warm enough.
Reply:Goretex, its fullwwindproof its what we use in the army
Reply:I would say thermal underwear is pretty important as it stops body heat from escaping and covers the whole body. Other than that I'd say that leather is the most practical thing to wear if your riding a motorbike - you need something hugs the body and is easy to move in.
Reply:i would go with cotton, and cotton flannel, except for the outmost layer, which you can get a leather jacket and pants,,,, and layers ,layers layers,,,, go for a turtle neck sweater,,,leather gloves with a cotton lining , stay away from synthetic for the inner layers,,
Reply:Wool, leather, and lots of layers.
Reply:Get a windscreen for the bike. it is much more comfortable than hiding behind the headlamp and gas tank.
I tend not to ride motorcycle cause of the black ice on the roads. You is just an accident looking for a place to happen.

Uggs - water and stain repellent?
***Any details on this spray stuff is greatly appreciated***
I just bought uggs, along with a water and stain repellent that they had at Nordstrom... my question is, when I sprayed it on, some of the spray got on the inside sheep fur lining thing, and I was wondering if that damages it at all. Is there any way I can protect the inside of the boots when I spray them to protect it from getting spray on it?
Also, how often do I spray them? And should I do two coats?
I know this is a silly question, and I want a real answer, not "Uggs are Uggly, why did you buy them."
Uggs - water and stain repellent?
BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE CUTE
:)
I HAVE 3 Pairs
Reply:i myself have plenty pairs of uggs... i doubt that it would do any harm to the fur... and i think you should double coat them.. but make sure the first coat has dried before putting the next one on...if you really want to take good care of them you should buy the kits.. the one where they have the brush and the conditioner for them.. good luck

Homemade halloween costumes ideas (look or else) muhaha!?
Here are some of (SOME) of my homemade halloween costume ideas for one person and groups! ENJOY (OR ELSE)
Btw hope yall have a happy halloween
One person costumes:
1. Ghost
Don’t just stick the sheet over your head! Instead, cut a neck hole from an old sheet and wear it over your body. Take a second sheet, and drape and pin it (like a toga) to add a floaty, ghostly flair. Powder your face and your hair white, and drape light chains over your shoulders.
2. Witch
To make a witch’s hat from poster board, cut one large circle for the brim, then cut out the space where the head will fit. Cut another large circle, and cut a slit into the center of the circle. Also cut one-inch slits all around the outside of the circle to make tabs. Wrap this circle around to make a cone, then attach the cone to the brim with the tabs (use masking tape to hold the tabs). Spray paint the entire hat black. Wear black flowing clothes and striped leggings.
3. Mummy
Cut strips of off-white fabric, like muslin or cheesecloth, and wrap around the arms, legs, body, and head, but make sure the mummy can see and breathe!
4. Zombie
Take any old clothes and distress them by fraying the edges and dusting with talcum powder. Pick a theme---you could be a zombie groom, cheerleader, or waitress.
5. Skeleton
Using white or glow-in-the-dark fabric paint, paint a skeleton onto black sweats. Use face paints to make your face look like a skull.
6. Vampire
Wrap a large piece of dark velvet around your neck for a cape. Pin in place with an old brooch. Wear dark clothes in romantic fabrics like crushed velvet and satin.
7. Cat
Start with a leotard and tights. Make a tail by stuffing a tube of fabric. Ears are easy to make from a headband and cardboard. You can also use fake fur for the ears and tail or to trim the leotard. Use face paint to make your eyes look cat-like and to add whiskers.
8. Dog
Add felt spots to a white or brown sweatsuit. Make floppy dog ears out of felt, and hot glue them to a headband. Paint a puppy dog face, complete with a big spot around one eye, to complete the costume.
9. Bumblebee or Ladybug
Paint poster board to look like the body and wings of a bumblebee or ladybug. Wear with leotard and tights to match, and attach wires to a headband for antennae.
10. Butterfly
Sew two long pieces of bright, shimmery fabric down the back of a long-sleeved leotard. Sew the other end of each piece to the underside of a sleeve, so that when you lift your arms, your wings flutter out. Add antennae.
11. Spider
Wear black clothes. Make six tubes of black fabric, and sew three on each side of your shirt or leotard. Tie each set of three legs together with strings, and attach the strings to your shirt sleeves so that when you move your arms, all of your legs move, too.
12. Nun
A nun’s habit is a basic black tunic (a shapeless dress with long sleeves). If you have a sewing machine, then you can make a tunic! Look online for patterns. Add a white collar to the habit. Then, measure a strip of white poster board to fit around your head, and hot glue black fabric to this strip. Bobby-pin the poster board to your hair.
13. Friar or Monk
Make a brown tunic, and wrap a simple rope around the waist.
14. Lady in Waiting
Make a simple, velvet tunic dress, or look in thrift stores for a long-sleeved, floor-length, dress. Wrap gold cording under the bustline to create an Empire waist, and crisscross the cording in front. Make a cone hat (like for the witch’s hat, only leave off the brim), and attach a translucent scarf to the top of the hat.
15. Fairy
Make a short, sleeveless tunic in a light, flowing fabric, or wear a leotard and a tulle skirt (which you can make by stitching gathered tulle to a strip of elastic). You can make wings by bending coat hangers into the desired shape and covering with white pantyhose. Tie the wings to the body by crossing in front and wrapping under the bustline.
16. Angel
Make a short, sleeveless tunic dress, similar to the fairy’s, or wear light, flowing clothes. Make a halo from tinsel garland. Follow the fairy directions for wings.
17. Devil
Sculpt horns from papier mache or plaster of paris strips (you can find this in any craft or hobby store). Attach these to a headband with additional papier mache or plaster of paris strips, and paint red. You can also make a pitchfork from the same material, and attach to a wooden dowel or a broomstick handle.
18. Fairy Godmother
Begin with an existing secondhand prom dress or any shiny, sparkly skirt and a leotard. Then gather fabric (tulle, satin, or any shimmery material) around your waist, and stitch or staple it so that it drapes down the skirt. Create a wand and a crown from any stiff paper, and decorate with paint, rhinestones, sequins, and glitter.
19. Statue of Liberty
Use light green fabric to make a toga. Make the crown from cardboard. For her torch, use a toilet paper tube painted to match the fabric, and glue red and orange tissue paper to the top for flames.
20. Roman Athlete
Wear a toga, and make a laurel wreath from fake leaves. Wear plain sandals, or try spray painting sandals gold and crisscrossing gold cord around your legs.
21. Father Time
Cut a sickle out of cardboard and spray paint it silver. Glue it onto a long wooden rod (like a broom handle). Wear a black toga, and carry the sickle and a clock or an hourglass.
22. Mother Nature
Wear a neutral-toned, long-sleeved leotard and tights. Drape shimmering, translucent blue and green fabric like a toga and safety pin to the leotard. Attach fake flowers and leaves to the draped fabric, and tuck a few flowers behind your ear.
23. Caveman or Cavewoman
Make a toga from animal print fabric. Cut the edges into jagged points. Carry a club.
24. Bobby Soxer
A poodle skirt is easy to make from a large piece of felt. Cut a large circle, and then cut out the waist to fit. Sew elastic to the inside of the waist, and hem the bottom. Then make the poodle (or any other shape) out of felt, and glue to the skirt with fabric glue. Use pompoms and rickrack to decorate. Wear with a simple blouse, a scarf around the neck, saddle shoes, and white socks, and pull your hair into a ponytail.
25. Flapper
Begin with a basic shift dress, and use fabric glue to attach fringe in layers, or you can simply wear a pretty slip and a string of fake pearls. To make the flapper headpiece, cut a length of sequined elastic to fit snugly around your head, then stitch the ends together. Use craft glue to add a feather. Finish the costume with fishnet stockings and heels.
26. Tourist
Wear a tacky, Hawaiian print shirt, khaki shorts, sandals with socks, sunglasses, and a camera around your neck.
27. Beauty Pageant Queen
Make a sash from satin, and use glitter paint to write your title on the sash. Wear an old formal or prom dress and a tiara (or make your own crown from cardboard and plastic jewels). Carry a bouquet of fake roses.
28. Jailbird
Paint white stripes on a black sweatshirt and sweatpants. Make a ball and chain by wrapping bunched-up newspaper in papier mache or plaster of paris strips and painting it black when it dries, then use strips of cardboard (painted black) for the chain.
29. Rag Doll
Wear old, baggy clothes and striped tights. Stitch or safety pin squares of rags to your costume for patches. Make two long braids from red yarn and sew to the inside of an old hat.
30. Scarecrow
Wear a flannel shirt and overalls, and stuff the ends of the sleeves and pant legs with straw. Top with an old porkpie hat.
31. Swashbuckler or Pirate
Wear tight black pants tucked into black boots and a white, peasant-style top. Make a cape by wrapping any fabric around your shoulders and pinning with an old brooch. Cut cardboard into a sword and spray paint it or wrap in tin foil.
32. Gypsy
Wear layered, colorful, flowing garments. Tie a scarf around your hair, and wear large hoop earrings, jangly bracelets, and a chunky costume necklace. Carry a deck of cards to tell fortunes.
33. Mermaid
Begin with nude-colored leotard and fishnet tights. Wrap a long piece of shimmery material around your waist---it should trail on the floor behind you---and stitch it together in the front. Cut the fabric that trails on the floor into a fish-tail. If you can find two large plastic shells, use low-temp hot glue to attach these over your leotard. If not, then cut shell shapes out of the same shimmery fabric. Accessorize with plastic seaweed (the kind used in fish tanks) and fishnet.
34. Bellydancer
Add sequined elastic, fringe, and beads to an existing bra or bikini top. Wear a coordinating skirt and sandals.
35. Hula Dancer
A grass skirt is easy to make! At a craft store, purchase green and brown raffia, and staple it in bunches to a long strip of fabric. Wear a brightly colored, flowered bathing suit, and wrap the grass skirt around your waist. String fake flowers to make a lei.
36. Cabaret Dancer
Wear a black leotard, fishnet tights, and heels. Make a showgirl-style headpiece by cutting a half circle from cardboard. Attach this firmly to a headband with masking tape. Paint the entire half circle (front and back) black, and cover with black glitter. Hot glue three long peacock feathers to the back of the half-circle. Don’t forget the red lipstick!
37. Superhero
Wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt in your superhero’s colors (or make up your own superhero). Make the superhero’s logo from felt, and glue it to the sweatshirt. Make an easy cape by wrapping a piece of fabric around your shoulders; hold it together with safety pins.
38. Clown
Wear bright, oversized clothes, like plaid pants, a striped shirt, suspenders, and a large bowtie. Look in thrift stores for a pair of shoes that is way too big, then put one of your own pair of shoes inside the oversized pair so that you can wear them without falling over. Clown costumes can also be made from old band or baton twirler costumes, western wear, and secondhand suits (think hobo!). See the Rag Doll directions on how to make a yarn wig.
39. Jack-in-the-box
Cut armholes and legholes from a large box, and decorate the box to look like a jack-in-the-box. Leave the top of the box completely open, and make “suspenders” for the box by cutting long strips of bright fabric and stapling them firmly. Attach large pompoms to a long-sleeved, brightly colored shirt and wear striped leggings or tights. Add a jester’s hat and clown makeup.
40. Robot
Use a large box, and cut arm, leg, and neck holes. Spray paint the box silver, and use pipe cleaners, wire, and tin foil to make dials and other robot parts. Make a tin foil hat, and add wires for antennae.
41. Television
Cut out the front of the box to make a television screen. Cut a neck hole in the bottom of the box, and wear the box on your head. Use pipe cleaners to make antennae. Dress as a newscaster and carry a microphone to be a “talking head”.
42. Lego Piece
Take two circular cardboard boxes (you can find these in a craft or hobby store), and attach them with masking tape to the large box. Cut holes for your arms, legs, and neck, and spray paint the entire box a bright color.
43. Gift
Cover a large box in wrapping paper, and add a large bow (or wear the bow on your head). Cut holes for your arms, legs, and neck.
44. Animal in a Pet Store
Start with any animal costume, like a cat or a dog. Using a craft knife, carefully cut strips out of a large refrigerator box to create a cage. Cut leg holes out of the bottom, and spray paint the entire box metallic silver. Attach a sign to the “cage” that says “Kittens 4 Sale” or “Puppies 4 Sale”.
45. Bug Caught In Spider’s Web
Start with your desired insect costume. Make a large web by tying and knotting white rope or yarn. Attach this web to the back of your costume---make sure to attach it to your arms and legs so that you seem stuck in the web.
46. Person Taking a Bath
Cut leg holes in a large, plastic tub. Glue cotton balls (for bubbles) all around the top of the tub, and attach a small rubber ducky to the side. Wear a nude-colored leotard and tights and a shower cap, and carry a scrub brush.
47. Playing Card
Take two large pieces of poster board. Set the two pieces on top of each other and punch one hole about six inches from both corners. Use heavy yarn, rope, or fabric to tie the two pieces of poster board together. Paint both sides of a sandwich board to look like a playing card, such as the Queen of Hearts (add a crown and wear red underneath) or a Joker (add a jester’s hat and wear brightly colored clothes).
48. Clock
Follow the directions for the playing card, only cut the two pieces of poster board into circles and paint to look like a clock’s face. You could also add movable hour and minute hands by cutting these shapes out of additional poster board and attaching in the center. Wear brown or black clothes underneath.
49. Fried Egg or Deviled Egg
Begin with a white sheet, and paint a large yellow circle in the center (or glue on a circle from yellow felt). Cut holes for your arms and neck. Add horns and a pitchfork to be a deviled egg.
50. Spaghetti and Meatballs
Take a brown or red sheet, and use fabric glue to stick on large red or brown pompoms (for the meatballs). Cut holes for your arms and neck. The stringy part of a mop (a new one) becomes the spaghetti---using low-temp hot glue, attach it to the inside of a plastic bowl, and wear the bowl on your head.

Wear black clothes. Make six tubes of black fabric, and sew three on each side of your shirt or leotard. Tie each set of three legs together with strings, and attach the strings to your shirt sleeves so that when you move your arms, all of your legs move, too.
12. Nun
A nun’s habit is a basic black tunic (a shapeless dress with long sleeves). If you have a sewing machine, then you can make a tunic! Look online for patterns. Add a white collar to the habit. Then, measure a strip of white poster board to fit around your head, and hot glue black fabric to this strip. Bobby-pin the poster board to your hair.
13. Friar or Monk
Make a brown tunic, and wrap a simple rope around the waist.
14. Lady in Waiting
Make a simple, velvet tunic dress, or look in thrift stores for a long-sleeved, floor-length, dress. Wrap gold cording under the bustline to create an Empire waist, and crisscross the cording in front. Make a cone hat (like for the witch’s hat, only leave off the brim), and attach a translucent scarf to the top of the hat.
15. Fairy
Make a short, sleeveless tunic in a light, flowing fabric, or wear a leotard and a tulle skirt (which you can make by stitching gathered tulle to a strip of elastic). You can make wings by bending coat hangers into the desired shape and covering with white pantyhose. Tie the wings to the body by crossing in front and wrapping under the bustline.
16. Angel
Make a short, sleeveless tunic dress, similar to the fairy’s, or wear light, flowing clothes. Make a halo from tinsel garland. Follow the fairy directions for wings.
17. Devil
Sculpt horns from papier mache or plaster of paris strips (you can find this in any craft or hobby store). Attach these to a headband with additional papier mache or plaster of paris strips, and paint red. You can also make a pitchfork from the same material, and attach to a wooden dowel or a broomstick handle.
18. Fairy Godmother
Begin with an existing secondhand prom dress or any shiny, sparkly skirt and a leotard. Then gather fabric (tulle, satin, or any shimmery material) around your waist, and stitch or staple it so that it drapes down the skirt. Create a wand and a crown from any stiff paper, and decorate with paint, rhinestones, sequins, and glitter.
19. Statue of Liberty
Use light green fabric to make a toga. Make the crown from cardboard. For her torch, use a toilet paper tube painted to match the fabric, and glue red and orange tissue paper to the top for flames.
20. Roman Athlete
Wear a toga, and make a laurel wreath from fake leaves. Wear plain sandals, or try spray painting sandals gold and crisscrossing gold cord around your legs.
21. Father Time
Cut a sickle out of cardboard and spray paint it silver. Glue it onto a long wooden rod (like a broom handle). Wear a black toga, and carry the sickle and a clock or an hourglass.
22. Mother Nature
Wear a neutral-toned, long-sleeved leotard and tights. Drape shimmering, translucent blue and green fabric like a toga and safety pin to the leotard. Attach fake flowers and leaves to the draped fabric, and tuck a few flowers behind your ear.
23. Caveman or Cavewoman
Make a toga from animal print fabric. Cut the edges into jagged points. Carry a club.
24. Bobby Soxer
A poodle skirt is easy to make from a large piece of felt. Cut a large circle, and then cut out the waist to fit. Sew elastic to the inside of the waist, and hem the bottom. Then make the poodle (or any other shape) out of felt, and glue to the skirt with fabric glue. Use pompoms and rickrack to decorate. Wear with a simple blouse, a scarf around the neck, saddle shoes, and white socks, and pull your hair into a ponytail.
25. Flapper
Begin with a basic shift dress, and use fabric glue to attach fringe in layers, or you can simply wear a pretty slip and a string of fake pearls. To make the flapper headpiece, cut a length of sequined elastic to fit snugly around your head, then stitch the ends together. Use craft glue to add a feather. Finish the costume with fishnet stockings and heels.
26. Tourist
Wear a tacky, Hawaiian print shirt, khaki shorts, sandals with socks, sunglasses, and a camera around your neck.
27. Beauty Pageant Queen
Make a sash from satin, and use glitter paint to write your title on the sash. Wear an old formal or prom dress and a tiara (or make your own crown from cardboard and plastic jewels). Carry a bouquet of fake roses.
28. Jailbird
Paint white stripes on a black sweatshirt and sweatpants. Make a ball and chain by wrapping bunched-up newspaper in papier mache or plaster of paris strips and painting it black when it dries, then use strips of cardboard (painted black) for the chain.
29. Rag Doll
Wear old, baggy clothes and striped tights. Stitch or safety pin squares of rags to your costume for patches. Make two long braids from red yarn and sew to the inside of an old hat.
30. Scarecrow
Wear a flannel shirt and overalls, and stuff the ends of the sleeves and pant legs with straw. Top with an old porkpie hat.
31. Swashbuckler or Pirate
Wear tight black pants tucked into black boots and a white, peasant-style top. Make a cape by wrapping any fabric around your shoulders and pinning with an old brooch. Cut cardboard into a sword and spray paint it or wrap in tin foil.
32. Gypsy
Wear layered, colorful, flowing garments. Tie a scarf around your hair, and wear large hoop earrings, jangly bracelets, and a chunky costume necklace. Carry a deck of cards to tell fortunes.
33. Mermaid
Begin with nude-colored leotard and fishnet tights. Wrap a long piece of shimmery material around your waist---it should trail on the floor behind you---and stitch it together in the front. Cut the fabric that trails on the floor into a fish-tail. If you can find two large plastic shells, use low-temp hot glue to attach these over your leotard. If not, then cut shell shapes out of the same shimmery fabric. Accessorize with plastic seaweed (the kind used in fish tanks) and fishnet.
34. Bellydancer
Add sequined elastic, fringe, and beads to an existing bra or bikini top. Wear a coordinating skirt and sandals.
35. Hula Dancer
A grass skirt is easy to make! At a craft store, purchase green and brown raffia, and staple it in bunches to a long strip of fabric. Wear a brightly colored, flowered bathing suit, and wrap the grass skirt around your waist. String fake flowers to make a lei.
36. Cabaret Dancer
Wear a black leotard, fishnet tights, and heels. Make a showgirl-style headpiece by cutting a half circle from cardboard. Attach this firmly to a headband with masking tape. Paint the entire half circle (front and back) black, and cover with black glitter. Hot glue three long peacock feathers to the back of the half-circle. Don’t forget the red lipstick!
37. Superhero
Wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt in your superhero’s colors (or make up your own superhero). Make the superhero’s logo from felt, and glue it to the sweatshirt. Make an easy cape by wrapping a piece of fabric around your shoulders; hold it together with safety pins.
38. Clown
Wear bright, oversized clothes, like plaid pants, a striped shirt, suspenders, and a large bowtie. Look in thrift stores for a pair of shoes that is way too big, then put one of your own pair of shoes inside the oversized pair so that you can wear them without falling over. Clown costumes can also be made from old band or baton twirler costumes, western wear, and secondhand suits (think hobo!). See the Rag Doll directions on how to make a yarn wig.
39. Jack-in-the-box
Cut armholes and legholes from a large box, and decorate the box to look like a jack-in-the-box. Leave the top of the box completely open, and make “suspenders” for the box by cutting long strips of bright fabric and stapling them firmly. Attach large pompoms to a long-sleeved, brightly colored shirt and wear striped leggings or tights. Add a jester’s hat and clown makeup.
40. Robot
Use a large box, and cut arm, leg, and neck holes. Spray paint the box silver, and use pipe cleaners, wire, and tin foil to make dials and other robot parts. Make a tin foil hat, and add wires for antennae.
41. Television
Cut out the front of the box to make a television screen. Cut a neck hole in the bottom of the box, and wear the box on your head. Use pipe cleaners to make antennae. Dress as a newscaster and carry a microphone to be a “talking head”.
42. Lego Piece
Take two circular cardboard boxes (you can find these in a craft or hobby store), and attach them with masking tape to the large box. Cut holes for your arms, legs, and neck, and spray paint the entire box a bright color.
43. Gift
Cover a large box in wrapping paper, and add a large bow (or wear the bow on your head). Cut holes for your arms, legs, and neck.
44. Animal in a Pet Store
Start with any animal costume, like a cat or a dog. Using a craft knife, carefully cut strips out of a large refrigerator box to create a cage. Cut leg holes out of the bottom, and spray paint the entire box metallic silver. Attach a sign to the “cage” that says “Kittens 4 Sale” or “Puppies 4 Sale”.
45. Bug Caught In Spider’s Web
Start with your desired insect costume. Make a large web by tying and knotting white rope or yarn. Attach this web to the back of your costume---make sure to attach it to your arms and legs so that you seem stuck in the web.
46. Person Taking a Bath
Cut leg holes in a large, plastic tub. Glue cotton balls (for bubbles) all around the top of the tub, and attach a small rubber ducky to the side. Wear a nude-colored leotard and tights and a shower cap, and carry a scrub brush.
47. Playing Card
Take two large pieces of poster board. Set the two pieces on top of each other and punch one hole about six inches from both corners. Use heavy yarn, rope, or fabric to tie the two pieces of poster board together. Paint both sides of a sandwich board to look like a playing card, such as the Queen of Hearts (add a crown and wear red underneath) or a Joker (add a jester’s hat and wear brightly colored clothes).
48. Clock
Follow the directions for the playing card, only cut the two pieces of poster board into circles and paint to look like a clock’s face. You could also add movable hour and minute hands by cutting these shapes out of additional poster board and attaching in the center. Wear brown or black clothes underneath.
49. Fried Egg or Deviled Egg
Begin with a white sheet, and paint a large yellow circle in the center (or glue on a circle from yellow felt). Cut holes for your arms and neck. Add horns and a pitchfork to be a deviled egg.
50. Spaghetti and Meatballs
Take a brown or red sheet, and use fabric glue to stick on large red or brown pompoms (for the meatballs). Cut holes for your arms and neck. The stringy part of a mop (a new one) becomes the spaghetti---using low-temp hot glue, attach it to the inside of a plastic bowl, and wear the bowl on your head.
