Make your own Halloween costumes
The economy is very shaky right now and most everyone is looking for ways to save money and still be able to live the way they are used to. No one wants to give up everything in their lives that provides them comfort and satisfaction. With Halloween just around the corner we all are thinking of these ridiculously expensive manufactured costumes. Each year they seem to become even more expensive and the quality has begun to leave you wanting more.
This year I will make the kids costumes from what ever I already have laying around the house. I have alot of old make-up that I do not wear anymore (or that the littles got ahold of and gouged out big chunks), I still have a few years of old costumes packed up in the attic, and I have alot of clothes packed away from my thinner days (pre-pregnancy clothes are never going to fit again). All it takes is a little imagination and some clever ingeniuity and you can mimic any costume out there on the market.
