Halloween is here and that means it is time to pretend to be something completely different. You can choose something real; something make believe, something spooky or something cute, there are so many possibilities. But we can save money by using DIY Halloween costumes to play pretend.

DIY Halloween Costumes
Halloween costumes cost more and more money with every passing year. We spend hundreds of dollars on costumes every year and then wear them once, store them away saying we will wear it again, and toss them. It is a shame to waste money on these things every year when that money could go towards home decor or repairs.
DIY Halloween costumes allow you to save money on costumes year after year. You can even customize them even further while you make them to fit your wants and needs. The costumes you make can also be as good of quality as you’d like. It all depends on the type of supplies you get for making your costumes.

Not One Size
Easy DIY costumes allow us to customize our spooky looks without spending an arm and a leg on something we will only wear once. Costumes at the store come in many different sizes but not every costume comes in every size. DIY Halloween costumes change that by allowing you to decide the size.
For example, you can take a tutorial for a kid’s costume and just change the supplies to fit an adult. That opens your world up to many different possibilities with your costumes.

Customizing Costumes
Customizing DIY Halloween costumes makes crafting even more fun. You could take something as cute and adorable as a unicorn and turn it into a unicorn of death if you want. You can also change the colors of the costumes you choose by simply using different colors. There is no rule against customizing your DIY crafts.
In fact, customizations are encouraged. You will know for certain that you are the only one on the block or at the party with your unique costume simply because you made it yourself. Customize away!

Getting Started
The reason more people don’t make their own costumes may be skill level, but that can easily be overcome by just trying things out. But another reason could be the time it requires to make DIY Halloween costumes. There is time requirements that will need to be completed with each DIY project and it changes depending on the intricacies.
But there is nothing better than knowing you saved some money and can be proud of the costume you’re wearing. In fact, you will feel amazing walking around in your costume and so will your kids in their own costumes that you made. Of course, shopping is easier for a costume already made but the rewards and celebrations are far better with DIY.
