Top Five: Halloween Costumes

We didn’t just come up with these ideas out of the blue, these costumes were actually worn by Topics employees in their youth. View the blog to see our top five costume ideas.

Little Orphan Annie
Not only wear the red dress and shoes but cut out two oval pieces of cardboard and paint them white for the wide-eye effect from her comic book days.

Alligator
Attach chicken wire in the shape of a hungry jaw to a football helmet and cover with green papier mâché. Wear green pants and a green top, attach a tail to your waist, and your costume is complete.

Cinderella
Fathers, dress your daughters as the princess, then accompany her as the ugly step-sister.

A Leaf
Paste fallen leaves from the yard onto brown felt or a brown sweatshirt. After all, ‘tis the season!

Crayon
Wrap a cute kid in a monochromatic outfit and put a cone on his head. He’ll love it. See proof of the joy (accompanying photo is of Billy, Topics’ Creative Director).
