Halloween Costumes Made Easy: How To Be Spooky For Less

There are many contests for the best Halloween costumes October comes. Mothers and kids all work together in order to bag the grandest prize or just simply to receive the most goodies into their Halloween bags. Either way, Halloween is really a fun time to don the cutest, most hilarious, and the scariest outfits for that special day. It is a time to have an excuse to be somebody else (or make fun of somebody else).

It is an excellent time to be somebody else for a night. Shopping malls and specialty stores fill up their racks of various Halloween costumes. And many people end up with the same costumes. Nothing is worse than finding out you bought the same costume as your friends. Another problem is that if you do not have enough money to go to another expensive store for something unique, you may end up with what everyone else is wearing. So, why not look at stuff in your own home instead?

Free those creative juices. Grab a scissor and glue. Then go make that cool Halloween costume. Here are just a few of those cool and easy DIY Halloween Costumes… (you can enhance it more yourself).

Ghost In YouBored with the same old white sheet draped over you every Halloween? Try dressing it up! Put a little lipstick around the mouth area. Put on fake lashes around slit cut for the eyes. Find plastic earrings and glue them by the ear areas. Cool long necklaces drape around the neck will make your ghost extra stylish as well. As for the boys, a bandanna around the head or any hats will give your otherwise boring ghost some character.

Tourist on VacationIt will be authentic for you to be a typical tourist. If you paint your face and arms with just a small amount of brown body paint that will show a tanned tourist. Boys can don their typical Hawaiian shirts and shorts, and camera slings around their necks. Girls can wear shirts, shorts and sandals. Then bring along big tote transparent bags with maps, a book, a bikini, and sun block lotion. And do not forget straw hats! Use more flamboyant ones for the ladies.

The Oldies lookLooking like grandma and grandpa is relatively easy and it costs you little to nothing. Just raid your grandparents attics for a good old flannel shirt or suit, a vintage cap and a cane for the boys. Girls can take a pick amongst grandmas lovely old, ruffled-style dresses. Try to find also some old stockings, oxford shoes and a vintage purse. To look really old, you can use these two old tricks on theater make-up. Dust off a little bit of baby powder or flour on your hair, and apply egg whites over your face.

Straight out from the Grocery Store lookGet a big box from the garage that is right for your body size. Cut holes on the sides and the bottom (for your arms and legs). Paint the box with your favorite cereal brand. Then use black or colored tights, gloves and a wig to look more fun!

The Garden lookGather leaves, twigs and flowers from the garden. Stick them on an old brown or green leotards or tights. More of these flora and fauna, the better will be the look. Dress up an old straw hat with ferns and leaves too. Put on a face mask and attach small bits of leaves and flowers. Before wearing the leotards and putting on the face mask, paint your body first with the color of nature. Then you are all set to join the birds and the trees!

There are hundreds of costumes to think of if you switch on that creativity in you. If you do not have then remember that Google is your friend. Whichever way you may get that inspiration to create your own cool halloween costumes; do not forget to have fun in making them!
