Looking for simple (and cheap) DIY Halloween Costume ideas? I have a few…
It is all about the accessories, take simple items already in your closet and add just the right touch for a unique and totally YOU costume.
- Sexy Fairy – Form fitting sexy mini dress or tight shirt & matching pants, then add fairy wings and some glitter make-up.
- Sexy anything – Repeat Sexy Fairy above with various bat wings, bee wings, lady bug wings, peacock feathers, angel wings & a halo, or whatever wings you like best! If you are really crafty, you can make your own one-of-a-kind wings.
- Princess – Do you have an old prom dress in your closet? Any ball gown with full (poofy) skirt paired with a tiara is instant Princess.
- Beauty Queen – No ball gowns in your closet? Grab a fabulous dress, tiara,
- Zombie anything – any old, ratty dress, shirt, skirt, pants, anything will do! For a worn or dirty look, soak in a tea bath. Brew very strong black tea (lipton’s tea is cheap and works great) and soak your soon-to-be zombie-fied clothes overnight. The tea will stain any fabric a brownish-yellow. Works best on cotton or cotton-blend fabrics.
- Corpse Bride – Just in case you have a wedding gown in your closet (or you lucked out at the thrift store), use the tea bath above and tear at the bottom of the skirt for a tattered look. Add some pale white foundation and dark circles under your eyes for the recently dead look.
