we really need your help

Well it depends on what you’re like

Some of my friends are dressing up as the newspaper people by making clothes out of newspapers
You could wear kind of emo or punk things or dress up like rockers

If you don’t like those kind of things you could dress up as a sexy princess or maybe a witch

In recent years, many youths are learning the samba drums, leading to a samba craze. However, many of these youths are dressed in their traditional attire when they play. In order to combine the characteristics of Amis outfits and Brazilian carnival attire, a samba drums promotional foundation has invited Brazilian carnival costume makers to custom make an outfit for the Amis students.

well,i am desperate!do yu have ANY costumes ideas for the carnival?i like to dreseed butterfly or fairy…but i don’t no what exactly what to wear(you know..shoes,skirt,top)you will help me a lot if you five me some good websites..thanks!!!

Do you want bright or pastel?
Either way, get some leggings in a color you like, like magenta or pale pink. If you can’t find a color you like, buy white and dye them.
Then either buy silk type scarves or scraps of tulle or gauze. Make sure you have your colored leggings with you when you pick them out so they match.
Then use a hot glue gun or fabric glue to attach the gauze or scarves to the top of the leggings. Don’t glue them on flat and even though. Gather and wrinkle the fabric and glue it on in layers, like flower petals.
Add in a cute, solid colored top, either short sleeved, longsleeved, fitted, strapless, billowy. Whatever you like. Again, just make sure it will match.
Buy pre-made wings at a costume shop, or you can make your own. Using wire coat hangers (or wire you bought at the hardware store), create each wing seperately. First shape the outline of one wing,, then use it at a template to create the other side. Wrap them in gauze layers or cheap feather boas. Use hot glue to secure the covering to the wire. Then use some yarn or think string to sew the wings on to the back of the shirt.
Pick up a cute magic wand, do something funky to your hair, and add bright colorful make-up.
Have fun!

Ps. Add some ballet flats or color/paint cheap white canvas tennis shoes, and embellish your outfit and hair with cheap butterfly hair clips or small fake flowers. If you want a halo, you can twist some chenille stems(pipecleaners) together and make a ring big enough to fit your head. Get creative with it and have fun.

tell me about costumes, common colors, fabric, clothing, exc. some info on masks is okay, that’s not my concentracion though

WI Carnival Costumes for 2008

Rapping, dancing and drumming were all part of the carnival atmosphere when Luton Youth Fiesta brightened up dull skies over Wardown Park.

It was a chance at last for youngsters who had been bitterly disappointed when Luton International Carnival was rained off back in May to strut their stuff and show off those fabulous carnival costumes.

The sun may still have failed to split the sky on Saturday, September 29, but there was plenty of colour and excitement on the ground, with young people from nine local groups forming a procession around the lake and pausing on a ramp to perform for the judges.

St Kitts & Nevis and Friends Association were the overall winners, with groups from Madhatters and Sickelcell highly commended. Rampage won the Spirit of the Carnival award. Sankofa Mas were the best newcomers, and the award for best school went to Foxdell.

Three marquees, a music stage and stalls provided fun for all the family.
