Cool Halloween Costumes for Teens: Hannah Montana

Miley Cyrus is about as big as Britney Spears right now, and so is her character Hannah Montana. There's no doubt teens want to emulate this cool singing sensation, so here's how to assemble Hannah Montana teen Halloween costumes.

Items:

Blond wig

White tank top

Gold belt

Short black skirt

Knee-high black boots

Black fishnet stockings

How to assemble: It's very straightforward. Put on the wig and clothes, and you're set. If you really want to emulate Hannah Montana, put on sheer lip gloss and glittery eyes hadow. These are cool, parent-approved Halloween costumes for all teens wishing to emulate Miss Cyrus.

Cool Halloween Costumes for Teens: Jack Sparrow

With three movies and legions of teens following this Hollywood icon, actor Johnny Depp portrayed the spirited Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Now thousands of teens wish to emulate this pirate for Halloween. Here's how to assemble Jack Sparrow teen Halloween costumes.

Items:

Black wig

Headband

Pirate jacket

Loose fitted white shirt

Buccaneer pants

Fake mustache and goatee

Boots

Eyeliner

How to assemble: Before you begin assembling the costume, put on your eyeliner. Sparrow's eyeliner is only on his bottom eyelids. It's very thick and black, so work it in.

Note: Black eyeliner goes on darker if you wet it. Alternatively, you can take black eye shadow, wet the brush, and fill it under your eyelids.

After that's done, you want to prepare the wig. Sparrow's wig is messy with random braids. Mess up the wig, add stray braids, and put in on your head. Place the headband on your head.

Next comes the important part of this cool teen Halloween costume: assembling the clothes. Put on the loose-fitted shirt, making sure it puffs out. Slip on the Buccaneer pants and boots. Next, put on the pirate jacket, buttoning it up slightly. Your teen Halloween costume is finished, ready for pirating the seven seas.

Cool Halloween Costumes for Teens: Flesh-eating Zombie

For more macabre teens, a zombie costume should thrill them. Zombies have haunted their way into mainstream America, and many teens love these Halloween costumes. Here's one way to assemble zombie teen Halloween costumes:

Items:

Zombie mask

Ragged clothes

Fake blood

How to assemble: If you can't find ragged clothes, take regular clothes and scrub it against a cheese grater. Put those clothes on, tie your hair back (if it's long enough) and put the zombie mask on. For a really cool effect, take fake blood and pour it over your mask. It'll freak some people out, but wasn't that the intention anyway?

How To Make Halloween Costumes

Picking a Halloween costume isn't that hard. You'll have lots of help. Trust me, lots, and lots of help. Kids can't wait to tell you what they, "simply have to be" for Halloween this year. They are bound and determined for you to use their idea, probably just as much as you are not to let this get out of hand.

If you explain you ground rules to your children before Halloween time rolls around, you will be better able to reach a decision about the costume that all parties involved will be satisfied with.

Before you even start to look at costumes, you need to establish a hard and fast budget for costume spending. This is because, even though it might be the perfect costume, spending an exorbitant amount of money on an outfit that is only going to be worn a few short days at most does not make a lot of financial sense. After you decide how much you are willing to spend, offer your children lots of options, bearing in mind that you might have to steer them clear of costumes that are not appropriate for their age. Try to make the entire costume selection process as fun as possible.

There are also safety concerns to be considered depending on how old your children are. Think about whether or not a costume could cause a child to trip and fall while walking or perhaps even suffocate them. Consider the weight of the costume and whether or not it will be too hot to wear. Especially with girls, it is important to think about whether or not your child will be too exposed in their costume. This often occurs because costume manufacturers aim their designs at adult audiences. Think seriously about how your daughter will look. While you and your child might be fine with some, others might make you uncomfortable.

One option that often works out quite well is shopping for Halloween costumes on the Internet. You can start looking at costumes online much earlier than when they arrive in local shops. The selection and availability of costumes is also better online. It is not too difficult to find an online costume shop with low prices, creative designs, a large range of sizes, and fast shipping.

Some of the most creative designs will be found online as opposed to the department stores and seasonal Halloween shops that spring up this time of year. Those stores have to market the latest, most popular costumes, as they can't afford to take a flyer on a costume that may or may not sell. Online, that's not the case.

While looking around a local department store you might find little more than costumes of princesses, pirates, and wizards, online shopping yields a host of costumes for kids. Some easy to find examples include a shark, a gumball machine, a cell phone, the Statue of Liberty, characters from The Wizard of Oz, and colonial outfits. By spending a little bit of time on your costume search, you can find a fun and unique costume.

Take your time, shop early and make this Halloween an event your child will remember!
