You don’t need to buy a costume for Halloween when you can make one yourself. It's not difficult to come up with quick, easy Halloween costumes! What is even better is the fact that you don’t have to be a tailor or seamstress to sew it together. You just have to be creative and use whatever you have in your closet or get a few of these items from the thrift shop.
Using your imagination and putting different items together is much better than tossing a sheet over your head and saying you’re a ghost. Since Halloween doesn’t always have to be scary, think of other characters you can play like perhaps a clown, tin man, a pirate or a gorilla.
Following are some ideas to get you started on your homemade Halloween costumes!
