DealDash Halloween: Make Inexpensive Costumes for Everyone
Halloween costumes can be expensive. But don’t be scared! There are plenty of cool costumes that you can make yourself.
Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start thinking about costumes! If you’re looking for fun, creative ways to make costumes for the whole family without spending a fortune, you’re in the right place. With a little creativity and some items you already have at home, you can put together spooky costumes for both kids and adults. Here are some easy, budget-friendly ideas that will make your Halloween memorable without breaking the bank, from DealDash.
DIY Costumes from the Closet
One of the easiest ways to make a Halloween costume is by using what you already have in your closet. Both kids and adults can become a character by mixing and matching clothing with some added accessories. For example, turn a plain white shirt and overalls into a painter by adding a paintbrush and smudges of “paint” (use washable markers or finger paint). Black clothes? You’ve got a ninja costume! Just add a bandana to cover the face and a pretend sword made from cardboard. Do you have a red and white striped shirt and a pair of jeans? Look who it is, it’s Where’s Waldo! Old formal dresses or suits can easily be transformed into spooky ghosts or glamorous witches. Digging into your wardrobe may surprise you with all the costume possibilities hiding in there!
Cardboard Creations
For an affordable and creative option, cardboard is your best friend. It’s sturdy, easy to work with, and if you’ve got some boxes lying around, it’s free. For kids, cut out large shapes like a robot’s body, a car, or a sandwich. Once you’ve cut the shape, paint it in vibrant colors or wrap it with colored paper. Kids can get involved in the painting process, too, which makes it a fun family activity. Adults can join in by creating larger versions of these outfits or going for something quirky like a cardboard “selfie frame” where you’re the picture! With just a little time and effort, cardboard costumes are both impressive and inexpensive. My kids love it when we do “family” costumes, and there’s no cheaper way to make costumes for four than by using cardboard!
Upcycle Old Costumes or Decorations
Before you buy something new, check if you have any old Halloween costumes or decorations from previous years. Save money by checking around the house for old Halloween costumes and decorations. Old fairy wings, witch hats, capes, or masks can be given new life with a few tweaks. You can upcycle an old witch costume into a wicked sorcerer by adding a black cape made from a sheet or a flowing scarf. Add some DIY accessories like a broomstick from the kitchen. Got leftover Halloween decorations? Use them! A plastic skeleton could become part of your costume, or string lights could turn you into a glow-in-the-dark character. No matter what spooky items you find around the house, it means one less thing to buy. So check those closets and attics.
