Cheap Halloween costume ideas for teens: Be creative and sew your own

Many teen girls in my neighborhood get together weeks before Halloween and design a simple Halloween costume on their own. For the needle-shy, start with something simple! Consider not-so-elaborate projects for your trick and treat night. For parents, it's a perfect time for your teen to build his confidence and present his individual statement. So stay away from giving too many advices.

Cheap Halloween costume ideas for teens: Rummage your closet

Halloween is all about being creative and creativity is all about expressing your own distinct style and personality. That necessarily doesn't come from spending dollars in a store. One of my daughter's friends dressed as a tourist and wore a big floppy hat, flowered shirt and long shorts, flip-flop sandals and hung a camera around his neck. To spice things up, he carried a map and a lost look. He found everything he needed right in his closet.

Cheap Halloween costume ideas for teens: Be inspired

Inspiration can be found at any corner, one should be ready to seek it. Phrases, stories, legends or blockbusters; the list is endless. One of the most creative costumes I've seen a teen sporting lately was a rugged and torn attire with names of cereal boxes taped everywhere on his body. He carried a bloody toy gun and claimed to be the "Most Wanted Cereal Killer." Now isn't that innovative?
