I was looking for a few ideas for a Halloween costume idea that I can make for my 9 year old step-daughter.
She was an angel last year ( I made it with out a pattern...was very pretty ) and a fairy the year before.

Halloween for us isn't about scarey evil...its about dressing up, spending time as a family, and (mostly for my nephews and my step-daughter) All about going out to get candy.
Halloween is not evil!
***Besides, I don't want to debate the right and wrong of Halloween...I was only looking for some new costume ideas!!!!!***

Miss. America
Use a old bridesmaid dress of formal, add a pair of gloves, a tiara, some oversized jewelry, and heals. For the banner, a piece of wide ribbon, and write "Miss. America" in glitter.
Mummy
Wrap yourself in white bandages (rolls of gauze) Use splotches of green paint for "mold". Use white make-up on face with "age lines" drawn on.
Bunny
Pink, brown, or white, add a powder puff or large pom-pom to the backside, and a set of ears make from constriction paper and a plastic headband.
Kitten
Gold, brown, tan, white. Make ears from construction paper, attach to head band or bobby pin in to hair. Sew a simple round tale, and pin on.
Lady Bug
Use a pair of black sweats and black sweat shirt (and a pair of black shoes). Use a large piece of poster board or cardboard and cut out a large oval. Paint it red with black dots. Staple black elastic pieces (in a loop) onto the board to make arm holes. For the antenna atatch craft pipe cleaners with black pom poms on the ends to a headband.
Butterfly
Put on black sweats and black shoes. Use a piece of poster board and paint wanted color cut them out in an appropriate wing shape. punch two holes toward the edges of the wings. put black ribbon through them and tie around waist. attach pipe cleaners and pompoms to a plastic head band.

I love the birds idea! Otherwise a regular zombie would be great, just use some old clothes, stain them up a bit then use white glue and makeup for the zombie look itself. If you're handy at sewing you could make a 'prom' dress out of an old sheet, a bit of dye etc. or even a shower curtain. If not, and you really want the prom route, try a second hand store.

I made a mermaid costume for my niece last year. I bought 1 yd of green sequin material from Walmart and made a tube from her waist to her knees with a drawstring at the top. At the bottom,I sewed a floor length ruffle of green tulle. For the top get her a flesh colored leotard and sew some gold lame scallop shells over the strategic areas. You can glue small sea shells to a plastic headband for a tiara. A great touch would be a cheap long red wig ala the Little Mermaid. She loved it!!

Go to Familyfun.com - This magazine's website has so much for kids of all ages. There are some really creative ideas! Last year I loved their take on King Kong.
It consisted of a person wearing a cardbord box made to looke like a building . They then attached a stuffed gorilla on the outside(attempting to climb the building).
It was very cool.
They offer alot of different ideas every year.

It would be easy to be a rock star, hippie, etc by decorating your own clothes. Try someone from a book : Pippi Lonstocking you could make a wig with a coathanger and red yarn, Little house on the prarrie with a nightgown type dress and an apron and bonnet. I made a spider costume with a black hooded sweatshirt and 3 pairs of stuffed black tights sewn on the back.Good Luck!

Have you asked her what she wants to be? Maybe you two can work on it together.
Last year my 7 year old went as the Grim Reaper (her idea). I think it gives them a chance to try on different identities. My meek child got to be scary. She loved it!

BEE
Black legging and a yellow shirt then sew on( or glue) Fuzzy black fur as stripes on the shirt
Get a hair band and use gold or yellow pipe cleaners to make antenna put a piec of the fuzzy blacks on the end.
Black shoes if she has them.
Then the PIRATE thing is in, sure you can figure that one out on your own.

I do not have any ideas, but I did want to share with you what my neighbor made her kid last year which I do not suggest. She put a black trash bag over his body and said he was a California Raisin! Completely embarrassing.
