HINTS S Easy-to-Make Costumes and Decorations (NAPSA)—There’s no trick to it: For an all-treat, all-fun Halloween, try these tips for no-sew costumes that cost little and are quick and easy to make. Magically transform body suits and tights, sweat pants and tops with a glue gun and VELCRO brand fasteners. They’re great for closures and to attach removable trims and decorations. Overlay fake fur tunics for animal costumes, tulle skirts for a ballerina or fairy princess, or white sheets for ghosts. Add a simple cape for witches, wizards and superheroes. Use Sticky BACK coins to attach colorful felt cutouts, sparkling jewels, sequins andfancy trims. * To make headpieces, add a hood and attach animal ears; decorate headbands with rhinestones, tulle and flowers. * Create spooky decorations with cutouts of bats, witches, ghosts and jack-o’-lanterns. Secure them to windows with STICKY BACK coins. Ensure safe trick-or-treating by accompanying children as they make their rounds. Then invite friends over to enjoy yummy treats, take pictures andlisten to scary stores. For more tips, please visit velcro.com and fabriclink.com.
