Halloween Accessories & Props
When I think of Halloween Accessories I think of Vampire Teeth and Witches Hats. Very simply put...the list of additions to a Halloween Costume can be REAL long. Check through the online stores and you'll see exactly what I mean. There is MUCH to choose from so have FUN and use your imagination to add just the right thing to make your Costume the most original around town. Let's face facts, two Witch Costumes can be basically the same, HOWEVER! When we start to add the Accessories of Hats and Boots and Brooms...THAT's what seperates the wannabee witches from the real spell-casting horrors! YIKES!
Where to start? ..Where to START!??! I suppose the best way to do this may be to start from the TOP! MANY Costumes require a HAT as one of the finishing touches. Some Costumes don't POSATIVELY need a hat to complete the idea...But that doesn't mean that you can't wear one if you WANT to! :-) Here's a little selection of Hats I put together for you to get some ideas from. Click on the one you like for more details.
 
Here's that Cats Hat....
And below we have a couple of Witch looks.
  
Hats are so cool but there are just SO MANY !!
  
The Hats above are from the Village Hat Shop. Click a Hat above or Click here to visit~~~~> The Village Hat Shop here on my site. I have the full store right here at Costume-Works.com. (How cool is THAT?)Once there a good category to check under for Halloween or Costume hats is "Novelty".
Click on the TinMan and he will take you to the Hollywood Hat Zone at CostumeZone.com. Search each ZONE of CostumeZone for that type of Hat.
Also at The Costume Zone you can find a large assortment of "This n' That" Accessories to meat just about any Halloween (scary?) Idea you have. Devil Horns, Devil Tail, or Devil Pitchfork. Demon Wings, Vampire Bat Wings, Spiderweb Wings, Angel, or Fairy Wings. Instruments for Stabbing, Slicing or Hacking your prey. From Freddys Razored Gloves to Harry Potters Scarf. Come and check out the Accessories at The Costume Zone...you won't be disappointed.
Any type of Jewelry, such as a Pirates Earing..or a Wicked Queens Poison Ring..would be considered an accessory. Borrowed Costume jewelry from Moms old Jewelry Box can make GREAT accessories for little ladies that are dressing as OLDer ladies for Halloween. Be generous Moms....Your children are only young for a little while (don't WE know it?).
I was thinking of things like "Fangs" and "Contact Lenses" as Accessories...But I think I need to reconsider that idea. Since they go on (or "in"?) ones FACE..I think I will categorize them as "Make-up"..so the Make-Up page is where you shall find ALL Face Wear.
Some of you will want to be FLYING creatures..You definately will need some flying accessories!

There are also KITS of Accessories to be found that are GREAT for a trouble-free quick-fix.

The world of Costume ACCESSORIES is definately a LARGE one...and a part of that world is what is referred to as "PROPS". To my mind a Prop is a part of a costume that is NOT attached to the rest or to the person...but is usually in the hand of the costume wearer as an extra visual clue as to whom or what that person is. Sometimes a prop is necessary, most times though I think it is a "choice". As in: A Witches Broom or A Fairy Godmothers Magic Wand . Robin Hood..without his Bow and Arrows? Luke Skywalker without his LightSaber? Hmmmmm. Mayhap some props ARE a necessity. Sherlock Holmes just would not seem the same without his Pipe. In the Capn' Hook Accessories Kit, above, we see a prop in the form of a Sword. Below is a Power Rangers Sword Gun, the perfect Prop to go with one of your children (or husband? :-) in their Power Ranger Costume. OR....How about Toto in the Basket? The Wizard of Oz's own Dorothy carried little Toto around in this basket..thus it makes a fantastic Prop also:
 
Speaking of DOROTHY...I think that without those Ruby Slippers she may well still be stuck in the Land of OZ.
There are possibilities to be greatly creative when adding Accessories and Props. I truely believe that these additions..no matter how great or minimal..are the things that bring out the individuality of each and every Costume wearer. So have a blast when adding your Accessories and Props. Be Creative and true to your Costume. :-) Oh..a MOST important "Accessory or Prop"! Do NOT forget to bring along your MAGIC!
