Three quick-to-make Halloween costumes
Halloween is one of Those Holidays: you know it's coming (the same
time every year), but it still sneaks up on you. At the last minute, you
realize you need a costume—and with stores already sold out, it's time
for do-it-yourself solutions. Here are three ideas for Halloween
costumes that look great but take very little time. The patterns can be
downloaded right to your computer.
KNITTING: Black Widow's Choker and Wristlets
- Purchase the downloadable PDF patterns for these gorgeous
glow-in-the-dark knitted designs by Lisa Barnes of LMB Designs here: http://www.kreinik.com/shops/
Knitting-Patterns/. They knit up quickly and dress up any outfit (even office wear) for a spirited yet classy costume.
NEEDLEPOINT: Martian Mask
- Use Kreinik glow-in-the-dark Braid to whip up this clever mask. You
can stitch it on mono canvas, but plastic canvas is easier for
finishing (find plastic canvas in craft stores). Download the pattern

NO-SEW: Glow-in-the-dark Boo Vest
- Head over to a thrift store like Goodwill and pick up a vest or
sweater, then embellish with Kreinik iron-on threads. No sewing or
stitching experience necessary. You can iron the thread in the shape of
words, or a ghost, as in our free pattern here: https://www.kreinik.com/shops/
