10 Budget-Friendly Halloween Costume Ideas

10 Budget-Friendly Halloween Costume IdeasWith Halloween quickly approaching, some of the prices of store-bought costumes can be downright scary. It’s much cheaper and more fun to make a costume from items you may already have. Your trick-or-treater will have the most unique get-up on the block!

Clown

An oldie but a goodie. Bright plaid or polka-dotted clothes, oversized shoes and artfully applied makeup are all you need. Add silly touches like a wig made of red yarn; a big, red nose; balloons; and a flower pin that squirts water.

Hippie 

Little girls can wear an oversized tie-dye T-shirt as a dress; older kids can wear tie-dye shirts with wide, bell-bottom jeans. Add lots of beads or peace-sign stickers and a pair of John Lennon round glasses (which you can find at any Salvation Army). Girls with long hair should part it in the middle or braid the hair and insert flowers.

Fairy 

A perennial favorite for little girls! All you need is a leotard or bodysuit, a poufy skirt with lots of tulle, a pair of fairy wings from a dollar store and a tinsel-wrapped headband. Give her a magic wand to carry and let her wear some glittery makeup, such as lip gloss and sparkly blush.

Cowboy/Cowgirl 

Here’s another costume favorite that never goes out of style. Jeans, a plaid shirt, brown cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, and a red bandanna tied around the neck are all you need. Give your child a rope to carry as a lasso and a hobby horse, and he’ll be set to ride the range!

Superhero

A pair of goggles, matching rubber dish gloves and a cape made of leftover cloth makes a superfast costume. You can create any insignia or character name out of felt or duct tape and attach it to the front of your child’s shirt for an extra touch.

Animals

You can DIY a fun crocodile costume by cutting a long, narrow cardboard box for the body structure and tail then pair them with matching shirt and pants. Your little girls will look cute in a flamingo number that you can put together yourself just by adding a few pink feathers on an old tutu dress and a flamingo cap that you have lying around. If you don’t have all that time in your hands, buying an animal-themed onesie online would be perfect. You’ll no longer worry about the hassle of going around your local stores because you can choose from a wide selection of cute animal onesies at kigurumi.co.

 

Ghost 

You’ll need a white robe or sheet and white face makeup. Cover your child’s face and hands with white makeup and either wear the robe as a hood, or cut a face hole out of an old sheet. Find a pair of pretend chains from a dollar store for your spook to rattle. For a touch of humor, cut tons of holes in the sheet a la Charlie Brown.

Night

I saw this creative costume at a rehab center Halloween party. This costume is all black, so be sure you have a reflector for your child to wear (plus, that can be the moon if they ask). Wear a pair of loose-fitting black pants and a black turtleneck or a cute little black dress. Use black eye liner to paint on little starts and a moon somewhere on the skin. Add some glitter and you can even add a little more mystery by making a black mask they can decorate out of felt and jewels.

Pop Diva

Time to put all those dress-up clothes to good use. Think sparkly dresses or skirts, feather boas, fancy hats, long pull-up gloves. Add a pair of bejeweled sunglasses, a microphone and some bright pink lipstick, and your diva will be ready to strut her stuff. For an added touch, have her carry a toy poodle (a stuffed animal, not a real one!) to complete the look.

Nerd

Wrap lots of masking tape around the nose bridge of your child’s glasses, use gel to make his hair stick up and wear too-short pants with suspenders and argyle socks with bright-colored sneakers. Don’t forget the calculator in the pocket and an armload of books.

Pirate 

No need to shell out big bucks for a store-bought version! All you’ll need to buy is a pirate hat or bandana, rough chopped of jeans and a striped shirt. To add some extra fun, draw a mustache on his face and a tattoo on his arm with eye liner.

    My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from
    PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several
    websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
    I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a
    way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?

    Any help would be really appreciated!

    If you want to dive further into the world of digital
    quality photography than the average point-and-shoot camera will enable you, Nikon also offers a huge
    variety of expensive, but high quality and performance cameras that will suit even the most
    picky of photographers. Because cameras are so small, the flash is usually very close
    to the lens. Subject tracking helps keep the camera automatically focused
    on a moving subject for improved accuracy.

    Two to three hours after that will be another snack. These methods should help you out, yet they’re simply the beginning.
    Getting to know how the body muscles grow and develop is essential.

    You’re suddenly faced with tons of questions that you really don’t have solid answers to.
    A mistake like this would only increase your body fat, putting you at risk for health problems.
    You have to try to eat at least 6 small meals a day rather than the
    normal 3 meals a day.

  18. diet to build muscle says:

    This combination reduces muscle damage and hastens
    recovery. Which is why they managed to develop muscle mass Despite performing bullshit split routines – it is since they relied about the
    muscle setting up hormones they injected in their entire body to
    achieve muscle mass NOT on their coaching. If you have been studying up on Build Muscle, then you could have a good
    understanding of what is out there on the net.

    This results in bruising and bleeding and can even lead to hospitalization if not attended too.
    This paper profit may compound over time, generating some nice returns once the property is
    sold. Know if there are any poisonous snakes in the area,
    what type of wild animals call those woods their home,
    etc.

    These are really wonderful ideas in about blogging. You have touched
    some fastidious points here. Any way keep up wrinting.
