Make Your Own Halloween Costume!

here are some of my favorite Halloween costumes that you can make yourself. while time is definitely an investment, your bank account might thank you.

this first idea comes from one of my favorite crafting blogs. my SIL found it a couple years ago and immediately fell in love with the idea. pretty clever huh?


next idea pays homage to social networking. where would we be without it?



this last idea i love. it involves clever makeup, and costume. go pixilated.


so get your thinking caps on and come up with an idea that won't cost you a fortune. besides, half the fun is creating it. and while we're on this topic i still haven't completely given up on the trophy wife idea. any takers?

xo,
kristie
