Decided last minute that you were going to go with your friend to that Halloween party<\/a>, but don\u2019t know what to dress up<\/a> as? Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve got your solution right here. Remember that as it gets closer to Halloween,<\/a> costumes tend to go up in price. Don\u2019t go out spending money on a costume that you\u2019re going to wear for a day. Instead, find something in your closet that will spook<\/a> people when they see you.<\/p>\n

Cardboard<\/h2>\n

Have that box<\/a> from the last online order you made and don\u2019t know how to use it? Make a costume out of it. There are plenty of cardboard ideas<\/a> on the internet<\/a>. Best part is that you can design it any way you like, and there\u2019s no need to spend serious money. All it\u2019ll take is some time and creativity. Also, by making a cardboard costume<\/a>, you\u2019re helping the environment by recycling the box.<\/p>\n

DIY<\/h2>\n

The great part about DIY costumes<\/a> is that most of the items you need to make your costume <\/a>are in your home<\/a>. If anything, you might have to spend some money buying accessories or makeup to compliment your costume. Over the past years, some famous DIY costumes<\/a> have been Audrey Hepburn\u2019s character<\/a> from Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s <\/em><\/a>and Where\u2019s Waldo<\/a>? Even though you\u2019re making a DIY costume<\/a>, that does not mean you have to make something that\u2019s been made before. That\u2019s the beauty of designing your own unique costume<\/a>. Be as original as you like and create something that will make you proud.<\/p>\n

Recycle an old costume<\/h2>\n

If you have an old costume<\/a> that you bought years ago and it\u2019s been collecting dust in your closet<\/a>, take it out. You can go dressed up as the same character of your costume or change the style of it. For example, if you have a pirate costume<\/a>, you can change it up a bit by making it into a zombie pirate<\/a>. \u00a0Stain the costume with some artificial blood to give it a scary look. Then, with some Halloween makeup draw your face like a zombie with these tips<\/a>.\u00a0You can also trade costumes with your friends. Trade your old ninja costume<\/a> for your friend\u2019s mummy costume<\/a>. Not only will you be recycling<\/a> your costume<\/a>, but so will your friend. \u00a0You\u2019ll get a new costume without spending<\/a> a dime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
