Cheap Halloween Costumes

Archive for January, 2010

I get about 300 kids every Halloween and have decided to buy just one type of candy. Last year I had several types and let the kids choose, but some of them got greedy and wanted one of everything so I am limiting selection to just one type. What would be your favorite treat if you could only choose one?

Something chocolate is always a hit for me. Reeses would be my first choice.

Any original and kewl ideas for a group Halloween costume??

I am going to a pirate themed party next month and don’t have much money, due to being in college. I would like to make my own costume for the party using either things I can find in my closet or at a thrift store. I was wondering if anyone had ideas as to what I could use to make a good costume.

Having worked at a Renn Faire (where the costumes are mega $$$) I suggest looking for thrift store finds, however I also managed to put together some good pirate costume ideas with out-of-season summer ware. Remember pirates wore just about anything and you can too.

Long cotton gauzy skirts work great – you can dye them red or black for a more piratey look. Layer 2 of them and tie up the sides of the top one.

Frilly ruffled cotton summer nightgowns work good too and can be layered as the underskirt. Also those gauze swim cover-ups can work as a layering piece.

Ruffled poet’s blouse – should be an easy thrift store find. Mexican peasant blouses work too.

Striped socks or tights or plain wool or cotton knee-hi’s

Black boots or China shoes or plain ballet flats

Corset, Bodice or Wide Belt – It’s a nice sexy touch if you can find them. Target actually had a wide black corset-type belt some time ago. If you can’t find one a wide red knit Scarf tied tightly around the waist can work too.

Hat – not necessary, but a nice touch. A scarf works here too (think Jack Sparrow).

I found surprising Renn-Pirate items in the clearance section at local Targets, Kmarts and Ross/Marshalls type stores. Sometimes all it took was a little RIT dye to change the color of a $5 skirt. I even made a pirate costume for my boyfried using $10 black pull-on cotton ladies plus-size pants from Kmart.

Whatever costume you MAKE will look much better than any polyester "bought" pirate costume, unless of course you actually ARE going for the fake trampy polyester fishnet pirate wench look.

Google "Renaissance Pirate Garb" for some ideas.

I’d like to know of a website that will allow me to get youtube videos from the site and put them on my computer to watch. I’ve searched for website but the ones I’ve found haven’t seemed to work. So I would like one that you know works. Thanks.

Youtube downloader. Just did it yesterday.

My best friend and I are going trick or treating together and we decided to be nerds. We aren’t completely sure what to look for at the costume stores…We have the main outfit in mind, but we want some extra stuff to make it different. Any ideas?

haha i luv the idea! heres some tips:
high-waisted shorts/skort, with collared shirt tucked in. maybe some suspenders or a sweatervest, a fanny pack stuffed with school supplies (erasers, pencils etc), big glasses (never use ones that arent ur perscription, so buy some fake ones), duct tape arond the center of the eyeglasses (nose-piece), messy & frizzy hair with random ponytails, unmatching knee length socks with sneakers, KICK ME sign on ur back, bowtie, calculator in hand.
I hope i helped!! good luck

I’m working on halloween invitations and announcements cards, and I’ll like to put babies halloween pictures, I searched on flickr and deviantart, but i think that i need a permission to use their pics
