By the time you read this article, Halloween will only be several days away. With that being said, I figured now would be the perfect time to talk about Halloween costumes! One of the many aspects I love about Halloween is the creativity that comes along with costumes. Whether the costumes are store bought or handmade, it's really neat to see what people choose to be on this spooky holiday.
Growing up, my mom always pulled it out of the bag when it came to my Halloween costumes. Most of the time the costumes were handmade, but if they were store bought, she always aimed to add her own personal touches. My mom also liked to include my wheelchair into the costume, whether it be the main focus or decked out to match with what I had on. For example, one Halloween year she turned my chair and I into a whale. Yeah, that's right. A whale. Look, I even have proof:
Between the influences of my mom and the help of the World Wide Web, I instantly became curious about wheelchair costumes. I wanted to see what other people who use wheelchairs were doing for Halloween. So, after doing some serious Pinterest-ing, I figured I'd share twelve Halloween wheelchair costumes that I think are incredibly awesome!
1. Mermaid.
This one is absolutely gorgeous! Definitely one of the coolest mermaids I have ever seen.
2. The Iron Throne.
I'll be honest, I've only watched a bit of "Games Of Thrones". But, I know enough to know how freakin' amazing this costume is!
3. The D.J.
Not once in my life did I ever think about turning my wheelchair into a D.J.'s turntable and I'm pretty bummed about that seeing as this costume is seriously so brilliant!
4. Hiccup and Toothless.
As someone who is a fan of "How to Train Your Dragon", I'm left speechless. I'm without a doubt in awe of the awesomeness.
5. Captain America.
I'm a huge fan of Marvel, so this costume really speaks to my soul. To transform the chair into Cap's motorcycle is such a great idea! Like, beyond great, actually. As much as I love Chris Evans as Captain America, I think we have a pretty good candidate if his spot ever needs to be filled.
So, this dad turned his son's wheelchair into a Star Wars snowspeeder and he did an unbelievable job! High-five to you, dad.
7. Peacock Princess.
I adore this costume so much! Definitely sign me up to be a Peacock Princess somewhere down the road. The creativity of it all is amazing!
8. Cinderella's Coach.
Since princesses never go out of style, here's Cinderella in her lovely coach! This costume truly blows me away. From the leaves on the spokes to the lights on the coach, this princess is totally decked out and ready for the ball!
9. Prince Charming!
If you're gonna have a princess, no doubt a prince can be right around the corner! This prince even has his own noble steed.
It's not truly Halloween unless you have this iconic duo!

12. Steampunk Wheelchair.
I know this article is focused on Halloween costumes, but I honestly want my chair and I to look like this every day.
