Top Five Cheap and Easy Homemade Halloween Costumes

Theresa L.
Halloween is right around the corner, and the cost of Halloween costumes can add up. However, there are ways you can save money this Halloween. One of those ways is by making your own Halloween costumes.

High School Graduate
High school graduate is a very easy outfit to make, especially if you have a son or daughter that has previously graduated from school.

All you need to be a high school graduate is a gown and a cap. To top off the costume take a piece of paper and roll it up. Finish it off by tying a ribbon around it.

Sports player
If your son or daughter already plays sports, then they have a costume already. Your child's uniform makes for a great Halloween costume, and who does not love a child supporting their favorite school?

Ghoul ghost.
To make a ghost costume all you need is a white sheet, and white make up. Cut three holes in the sheet, two for the eyes and one for breathing. Then take the white make up and use it on your child's where their face is showing.

Ghost costumes are very easy to make and will only cost you one sheet.

Vampire
Anyone can be a vampire. All you need to complete a vampire outfit is a pair of funds and a little paint. A modern day vampire can wear any type of clothing, making this outfit very cheap to create.

Mummy
All you need to make your child into a mummy is rolls of gauze. If you want to give it that age look, roll it around in some dirt. You can also use some paint on the bandages to give it a 'moldy' look, and do not forget the face paint.

    When I was younger, I went as a graduate and came in first place in the Halloween costume. They are all easy to do, and cost little.
