Top Three Homemade Halloween Costumes

There are many people each year that go on Halloween with costumes made at home and with costumes at the store being costlier with each passing year, it is evident that the need for clever homemade Halloween costumes is there. 

In the past, people who wanted to make their own costume would simply use a white sheet, cut two holes in it and then went out as a ghost.  It is a still good idea for people that love ghosts to wear such a costume but there are so many different things that could be done as well.

A good example of a great homemade Halloween costume is that of a vampire.  All you need is a black cape, if you have one; or a black sheet to convert to a cape and then a tin of make-up in order to make the face pale enough that the person can indeed come across as a vampire.  Another thing that you could possibly do in order to enhance the impression is to get some lipstick or red crayon and smear some of it across the lips and teeth of the person dressing up as a vampire.  This will add the illusion of the person having just drank blood and even without the tooth extensions there it is still a fantastic costume to wear.
 
Mad scientist is another good example of a costume that can be entirely homemade.  Many people have chemistry goggles in their homes now because of university children or their own work and therefore a combination of these safety goggles, dark circles under the eyes created with the help of make-up and a white coat it is quite possible to make someone look like a mad scientist.  If you get them to permanently open their eyes as wide as possible when they go out and then mess up their hair so that it looks as shaggy as possible then it will add an effect to the impression given by the costume.

Ghosts, vampires and mad scientists are just three costumes that people used to purchase at the store all the time when they went on Halloween journeys.  Nonetheless, it is quite possible to make these and other famous costumes (i.e. ghouls, goblins and faeries) at home with a little creativity and effort and at the same time end up saving a lot of money. 

Inventiveness is the watchword for clever homemade Halloween costumes.
