In search of Halloween DIY costumes
Limited budget for Halloween? No problem! Nothing can stop you from enjoying the most terrifying night of the year as it is meant to be, so today we’ll give you several ideas to make a great Halloween costume without you having to waste too much money on it. You can do it yourself or reuse a costume you already have at home. What this is about is thinking about it properly, so let’s begin with this homemade Halloween costumes.
Skeleton costume
To prepare it, you need a black shirt and a white one. Put one over the other and make cuts that look like ribs. You can use a blueprint or do it on your own if you are skillful with the scissors.
Add some makeup in white and black tones to your skeleton costume to finish up.
Zombie costume
Another idea for your Halloween DIY costumes is to make your own zombie costume. Stain any type of clothes you’ll wear in red simulating blood, make some strips… and your zombie-walking will do the rest.
You can also use one of the old disguises you have laying around your house and that you know you won’t use anymore, make some cuts here and there and add some fake blood, because any profession is relevant to be a zombie. But the most important thing is a good zombie makeup, but if you don’t have enough time, you can always just wear a horrifying mas or some characteristic prothesis and some wounds like these ones.
Ghost costume
We are really making this easy for you, right? Take an old, big piece of cloth like the ones you see around in some houses, put it in your head and your ghost costume is done! Something faster and cheaper? Remember to make some holes so you can see through them.
But if instead of being a ghost you want to catch one… you can always wear one of these Ghostbusters costumes.
Pumpkin costume
An essential part of Halloween, pumpkins. Round or long, but when we see one, we can’t stop thinking about the most terrifying night year-round.
Now you can also make your own pumpkin costume. You’ll need an orange shirt that you can draw some eyes and mouth of a pumpkin on or make some holes (wear a black shirt beneath it), some orange stocking (or stripped black and orange) and a good makeup: adorable or terrifying, whichever you prefer. Take a look at this tutorial on pumpkin makeup.
Wednesday Addams outfit
Look how easy this Halloween disguise is. To make your own Wednesday Addams costume, you just have to braid your hair (if you’ve got long hair, if no, you’ll have to use a wig), wear a skirt, a black jersey (or a dress) with a white shirt underneath, and very pale makeup on your face, and black eyes and lips. Oh, and remember: no smiling in the photos.
Mummy costume
So long as we talk about DIY costumes, we can’t forget about mummies and how this idea is a lifesaver on a rush.
The cheapest way to make a mummy costume is using your toilet paper. But remember it is very delicate and probably won’t las the whole night. You can also buy rags and roll them over you.
In any case, the cost will be minimum and you’ll be instantly disguised. Wear white clothes underneath and roll on the material you chose. Paint on some eye sockets, put some stains over you… you’re ready!
Do you know what your next Halloween costume will be?
As you can see, you won’t take long setting it up and you can use add-ins and accessories and the ideal Halloween makeup to design the perfect costume. This is all about having fun, and that is surely what you’ll get!
