It is easy to pick up a Halloween costume. One can just go out to the store and buy something that caught your fancy. Or, you can drop-by a specialty store to look for one.
Shopping malls and specialty stores pile up on various Halloween wear during this time of year. Unfortunately, you will most likely find yourself having the same costume as someone else. You do not want your friends all wearing the same costumes as you. Now that would be scary! Sometimes, some of these costumes are not cheap. So, why not look around the house and in your backyard to make a costume that is uniquely yours and save more money in the process.
To give you an idea where to start, here are just some easy and fun things to wear on Halloween.
Ghost In YouBored with the same old white sheet draped over you every Halloween? Try dressing it up! Put a little lipstick around the mouth area. Put on fake lashes around slit cut for the eyes. Find plastic earrings and glue them by the ear areas. Cool long necklaces drape around the neck will make your ghost extra stylish as well. As for the boys, a bandanna around the head or any hats will give your otherwise boring ghost some character.
Tourist on VacationIt will be authentic for you to be a typical tourist. If you paint your face and arms with just a small amount of brown body paint that will show a tanned tourist. Boys can don their typical Hawaiian shirts and shorts, and camera slings around their necks. Girls can wear shirts, shorts and sandals. Then bring along big tote transparent bags with maps, a book, a bikini, and sun block lotion. And do not forget straw hats! Use more flamboyant ones for the ladies.
The Oldies lookLooking like grandma and grandpa is relatively easy and it costs you little to nothing. Just raid your grandparents attics for a good old flannel shirt or suit, a vintage cap and a cane for the boys. Girls can take a pick amongst grandmas lovely old, ruffled-style dresses. Try to find also some old stockings, oxford shoes and a vintage purse. To look really old, you can use these two old tricks on theater make-up. Dust off a little bit of baby powder or flour on your hair, and apply egg whites over your face.
Box me upThis is fun to make. Just get a big box that is your size from the garage and decorate it to make you look like a walking box of cereal or milk. Cut holes on the sides for your arms. Cut holes also at the bottom for your legs. Paint the box with your favorite brand of cereals or milk. Remember to put on colored tights, gloves and a wig to make the whole look funky.
Mother NaturePrim up your old leotards with anything from the garden leaves, twigs and a couple of flowers. Glue them on to your leotards. Put on a face mask, and later you can attach some small leaves and flowers around it to go with the rest of the outfit. You can also paint your body with the color of nature.
Be the hit of a party for less! Bring out your creative juices and use whatever you have around your home. Nevertheless, you do well for our planet by recycling some of your stuff. There are a lot of interesting DIYs for your halloween costumes, you just have to free your imagination.
