Homemade Halloween Costumes: 3 Easy Do-It Yourself Costumes for Halloween

Three Quick and Easy Do-It Yourself Halloween Costumes.

Trick or Treat give us something good to eat! It’s that special time of year again, when you can dress up like your favorite super hero, run around asking strangers for candy, and guzzles down all sugary goods you desire till the tooth fairy comes-a-knocking.  It’s Halloween, and after eleven odd months of dressing like respectful citizen we get a day to show off who we truly are. Whether you crave to be a super hero, a peanut m&m or Spongebob Squarepants every costume is widely accepted.

 You might have noticed new Halloween stores popping up all over your town, ads in the newspaper and emails of special sales, but who would have thought that a silly costume could cost so much? The average adult outfit cost between $40-50, purchasing one seems like a bit of a waste, especially when you realize that you’re only wearing it few hours, which leads to the next best idea, MAKING YOUR OWN COSTUME!

Below are a few simple ideas for you to create your own home-made costume:
