Creative Halloween Costume Ideas
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 10/09/14 -- (Family Features) Every Halloween, many people look forward to participating in "frightful" festivities, such as costume parties and contests, but often wait until the last minute to come up with a costume.
This usually leaves slim pickings at party stores and costume shops or a tossed together look. With a little planning and creativity, you can avoid the scramble this year and create a classic Halloween costume using items you probably have at home, or can easily and affordably find.
Follow these tips and tricks -- and treat yourself to a costume that will make this Halloween sweeter than ever.
Use it as a time to clean out your closet. Those old, unused threads might serve as the basis for a great costume.
On that note -- don't overlook your "memories." Pull out sports or dance uniforms from your glory days in high school and have an ensemble ready.
Crafting gear nearby? Great. It's easy to create a charming costume with just scissors, glue and a little bling.
Here are some examples of clever costumes you can make at home.
