The Balancing Act and Hancock Fabrics are Going to Show You How to Make a “Boo-tiful” Costume This Halloween!

"Fabric-cate" Your Halloween this Year...

 

(Pompano Beach, FL October 2009) It’s October, and people of all ages are getting ready to celebrate Halloween.  Are you tired of going as the same masked person every year?  Maybe this is the year you should tap into your creative side and make something that caters especially to you—or your kids!

 

The Balancing Act welcomes Hancock Fabrics to the show October 13th, airing at 7:30am on the Lifetime Channel. (EST/PST)  Creative craftswoman and designer, Kathy Peterson joins the show to lend her expertise on decorations and costumes for the upcoming Halloween Holiday!

 

Peterson says, “This holiday is a retailer’s dream because many kids and adults like to decorate their homes for parties and trick-or-treaters.”

 

At Hancock Fabrics you can find all the elements you need to vamp up your home and your costumes.  Peterson adds, “You can find fabrics like-- satin, sequins, fur looks, shiny vinyls, felt, chain mail looks, and brocades.  Then you can add on with-- trim, nail heads, feather boas, netting, and iron-on assortments! And let’s not forget dye items using Carbona and tie-die kits where you can take used clothing and repurpose it into a costume by adding trim, buttons, a ruffle—or even paint.”

 

Can you already feel the ideas creeping up to you?

 

To help out even more, Hancock Fabrics has a great assortment of patterns (in stores) and accessories (in stores and online) -- from simple costumes to elaborate.  You can even go for reenactment costumes using materials like-- mummy cloth.

 

Hancock Fabrics is your one-stop Halloween headquarters.  They have a wide variety, and they’re affordable.  You make your own budget, by making your own costumes!  Check them out at http://www.hancockfabrics.com/.
