It’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to be for Halloween. If you’re like me, you have very little money to spend on costumes. This is why I decided to write this blog post. It’s a great way to save some cash and still look awesome at parties.
I’m going to walk you through some of the best homemade costumes for this year. First up is the wolf costume!
To get started, all you need are some overalls and a shirt. Even if you don’t want to make a wolf costume, these pieces will be useful for future costumes as well.
Next, cut out some cardboard teeth and glue them onto the front of your shirt. It’s that simple!
Finally, buy or rent a wolf mask and put it on whenever you leave the house! That way people will think you’re in costume even when Halloween is over!
Are you tired of going to costume shops and spending fifty dollars on a cheap, uncomfortable costume that you will only wear once? Well, I have the solution for you. This Halloween, you should make your own costume with things found around the house. This will not only save you money, but it will also allow you to be more creative in making a unique costume.
To begin with, it is important to know how much money can be saved by making your own costume. According to the National Retail Federation, consumers spent $6.86 billion on Halloween in 2008 (Halloweens Big Spenders). Fifty dollars is about 0.000007% of this amount. If everyone saves 50 dollars on costumes this year, we could save the economy over 23 million dollars!
Furthermore, the costumes made at home are usually more comfortable than what is bought in the store. You can make your costume out of any material that you want, so comfort is not an issue when making your own costume. You can also make a costume that fits perfectly because it is made specifically for you!
In addition to being more comfortable and less expensive than store-bought costumes, homemade costumes are also more creative and unique. You will be able to come up with any idea that comes
So, did you dress up for Halloween? Did you save some money by not going too fancy?
If you were a kid, then maybe you went to the store, bought a costume and got some candy. This is a pretty good way to go. You didn’t have to make one and it was probably better than just putting on whatever clothes were at hand.
But let’s say you’re an adult. You could throw together a costume with little effort (and little money), but that’s not really the point. After all, it’s Halloween.
The problem is that most people spend too much on costumes and aren’t creative enough. It’s actually very easy to have fun without spending a lot of money.
Here are some ideas:
Don’t Buy a Costume at All – I like this idea because it involves zero money. The drawback is that it involves some time and effort, but in my opinion that’s worth it. There are lots of things around the house that could be used for costume parts or even entire costumes. Just look around, rummage through your garage or basement, or ask friends if they have anything you could use.
A few years ago I went as a “mad scientist” with my friends who were laboratory technicians (their
It’s that time of year again: ghosts, goblins, and ghouls are headed to your door. This year, skip the pricey costumes. Save your money by making them yourself!
There are many benefits to making your own costumes. First, you’ll have more money to spend on candy or decorations. Second, you and your kids will have fun picking out materials and working together to create something special. Third, handmade costumes are one-of-a-kind. You won’t see anyone else wearing the same thing at school or the party!
Here are a few simple DIY costume ideas for kids and adults alike:
Cereal Killer: Grab a large box from the recycling bin and poke some holes in it (for arms). Cut out a mouth hole and use white paper as teeth. Make it spooky with some fake blood!
Gumball Machine: Use an old cardboard tube (from gift wrap) as the body of the machine. Paint it red and add some polka dots for flair. Attach a clear bowl to the top with string or wire (for the gumballs). Alternatively, grab a cheap red umbrella instead of making one yourself!
Halloween is a time of year when people get to be creative, as they can become whoever or whatever they want to be.
But it can also be quite expensive, especially if you’re someone who wants to buy a costume instead of making one.
So if you’re looking to save some money this Halloween, here are some tips that might help you out.
1) Make your own costume. I know this sounds like a cliche but it’s true! Making your own costume can be fun and rewarding, plus you don’t have to spend any money on an overpriced costume at a store. You can use your imagination and see what you can come up with using items around your house. You may even find something that’s better than what you would’ve bought at the store!
2) Ask friends for help. If you’re having trouble thinking of ideas for a costume, ask your friends or family for help! They may have some really good ideas, and maybe even offer to help make the costume for you. Asking for help is not only great for getting ideas but also for saving money in the long run because you won’t have to pay for a costume from a store or from the internet.
3) Don’t buy anything new. This
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31st. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing and divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows’ Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular,[20][21][22] although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration.[23][24][25] Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows’ Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
