Cheap, Easy Halloween Costumes
You don't have to spend a lot of time or money to make your own Halloween costumes. Look for costumes that require few pieces, and include parts that you already have at home. Here are some suggestions of things you can do to make your own Halloween costumes:
1- There are any number of simple animal costumes that can be made with leotards or sweats. Paint a white line down the back of a black outfit for a skunk, or add commercially available ears, nose, and tail for a black cat. You can make your own ears by attaching construction paper to a cheap plastic headband. Use large pom-poms for bunny tails. Pieces of poster board can be painted as a turtle, and attached to the back with straps made of thin elastic. Spots can be achieved simply by pinning pieces of felt or construction paper to the clothing.
2- Balloons are inexpensive, and can be used for several fun costumes. White balloons can be attached to clothing for a bubble bath. Purple ones will make a cluster of grapes. Cover yourself with multicolored balloons, and then a big clear plastic bag, tied at the neck with ribbons, for a 'bag of jelly beans.'
3- Boxes, and a little paint and imagination, are another base for lots of great Halloween costumes: silver paint and a few additions made of construction paper make a robot, use wrapping paper and ribbon for a Christmas present, white paint and a few black dots make dice, white with a black handle makes a refrigerator.
