Simple Halloween Costumes to Make at Home
Halloween is just around the corner and it is almost time to start thinking about Halloween costumes for kids and adults alike. With the economy still a bit unpredictable and unemployment rates still fairly high many individuals are deciding to go back to creating their own costumes from materials they have at home and inexpensive materials that they can purchase at the store rather than spend their money on the pricey costumes that can be found at a local department store. Making costumes at home is not only easy but can be a lot of fun as well, especially if you have children that can get involved in the process as well. Here are just a few ideas for simple costumes that can be made right at home without spending a fortune.
Mummy – Now this is truly a classic Halloween costume and will never grow old or go out of style. And the great thing about a mummy costume is that it can be made from a variety of different materials and you can add a number of special effects to make it unique too. One of the best materials for this type of costume is a plain white sheet which you may even be able to find at a thrift store. White gauze is also a good material to use but may be a little more expensive than a white sheet. To make the costume you simply cut the material into strips in lengths that will wrap around the legs, body, arms, neck, and head and be sure to cut eye and breathing holes into the pieces that will go on the head so that your costume is safe as well as fun. If you would like to individualize your mummy costume you can add fake blood to it or some type of safe glow in the dark paint. Whatever you come up with this classic costume is sure to be a hit.
Black Cat – This is another classic but is also never out of style. To make this costume you have a number of options regarding materials as well. Black leggings work great with a black body suit to make the main part of the costume but you can also use finer materials that may have similarities to fur if you have something on hand or can find something for cheap at a fabric or thrift store. A simple plastic headband can be used to make ears by attaching a cardboard cut-out of ears to it and a tail can be made with a strip of material that you can sew and stuff to make somewhat stiff.
Finally, another great, simple costume is a little child costume. This can be easily thrown together with a pair of pajamas, a bathrobe, and a stuffed animal to carry around. Use a little blush to make the cheeks rosy, and a pencil to add a few freckles to authenticate the costume even more and you have the perfect little child costume made from your own materials.
Halloween is a fun holiday for many but it is difficult to spend a fortune on costumes so this year save your money and make your own costume and you will get even more enjoyment out of an already fun holiday.
