Fun Halloween costumes for twins

Halloween costumes should reflect your twin relationship whether you're salt and pepper or bread and butter twins. Halloween is a perfect time for twins to dress alike or as opposites in costume. Here's some fun and different costumes for twins of all kinds. Use as is or add your own variations for a more elaborate look.

Peanut butter and jelly twins

Peanut butter and jelly stick together. So do some twins. Shape and staple cardboard or poster board into a tube for the jelly jar and peanut butter jar Halloween costumes. Staple shoulder straps to each jar. Spray paint the peanut butter jar dark tan and the jelly jar purple. Let dry. Paint a label onto each one using craft paints.

Devil and angel

One of these twins is a bit mischievous. The other is sweet and kind. Make the Halloween costume fit your opposite personalities. The angel is easy. It's just a toga, wings and gold garland headband and belt. Face glitter makes this costume complete. The devil gets a set of horns, red face makeup, long robe, pitchfork and a forked tail. All these things can be found at your local party or craft store.

Peas and carrots

Forest Gump was right, peas and carrots may be opposites but they're great together. Make the peas and carrots costume using cardboard or poster board stapled into tubes to make canned vegetables. Staple on shoulder straps. Paint both tin cans silver with spray paint. Make a colorful label for each canned vegetable and glue it to the can.

Geek and freak

One of you is goth. The other is a nerd. Twins don't always follow the same path in life but they still go to Halloween costume parties together. The goth twin dresses in black with pale face and dark makeup. The geek girl wears a plaid school uniform, crooked pony tails and huge black glasses. The geek guy wears too short pants, short sleeved shirt with pocket protector and huge black glasses.

Siamese twins joined at the hips

This one will have friends of twins laughing hysterically. It's the perfect Halloween costume for inseparable twins. Buy a super huge skirt or pants from a thrift store and put them on together. Do the same with a huge shirt or blouse. Each of you sticks one arm out and leaves the other inside the blouse. Wear scary make up to be evil Siamese twins if you wish.
