Halloween has never been a big deal around our house. We did however take DD trick-or-treating when she was little. All of the costumes were homemade or had homemade elements added to it. Most of them were really easy to make.
For the first Halloween we took DD trick-or-treating we dressed DD as a ghost, a friendly ghost. We took one of her daddy's white t-shirts and used a permanent black marker to draw eyes and a friendly smile. We put that over a mostly white jogging outfit she had. She wore white socks and white tennis shoes. I pulled what little hair she had on top of head in a pony tail and secured it with a white scrunchy. She carried a ghost pail she had got a "Happy Meal" in from MacDonald's. Viola, we had a friendly ghost!
She liked the costume because it was comfortable. We liked it because it didn't really cost us anything and it was easy to make. We received a lot of compliments are our friendly little ghost and her costume.
Halloween costumes don't have to hard to make or cost a arm and a leg. Just get those creative juices going and work with the materials you have on hand. You will never know what kind of character maybe laying around your house.
Homemade Halloween costumes are simply a good thing!
