Need Ideas Making Your Own Halloween Costume?
Thinking of making your own Halloween costume? Many people I spoke to have told me that coming up with a Halloween costume gives them a big headache before the Halloween celebrations.
They are caught between two extremes.
If people buy their Halloween costumes from the neighborhood Halloween retail store or even from bigger retail stores such as Walmart or Target, they run the risk of wearing something that others may be wearing too at the Halloween party.
On the other hand, if people decide to make their own Halloween costumes, the final product may not be what they have in mind or might even be distasteful.
Furthermore, one might need to have good sewing skills to stitchup their own Halloween costumes.
So this becomes a big dilemma for the many people who celebrate Halloween and who want themselves to look good when they go trick or treating or when they attend Halloween parties.
If this is something that is bugging you, and you still prefer to make your own Halloween costumes instead of buying them off the rack, perhaps I can give you some tips in this article that will open your mind up to more possibilities.
First of all, have you heard of this term known as mix and match? Well it is relatively simple to make your own Halloween costume based on existing clothing that you have.
You need not be excellent in your stitching or have many ready materials at home because you can buy different costume parts and put them together.
For example, let us start with a Harry Potter costume.
I guess many of you would know who Harry potter is.
Harry Potter is a boy wizard and this name is also the title of a famous fiction book written by British author J K Rowling.
So how do make your own Harry Potter costume? First of all, you need to get a pair of glasses.
It can be without the lens if you currently have perfect eyesight.
Make sure that the glasses are round and maybe a bit nerdy looking.
In addition, you would also need a robe which will be draped onto your body.
The last part is to buy a simple wand as an accessory.
If you do not have enough money, even a twig from a tree can serve as a wand! The idea above sounds very simple but it is easy and cheap and even if somebody dresses up as Harry Potter, their outfit would not be the same as yours.
