With Halloween just around the corner, a
costume is necessary for celebrating.
Ordering a costume online or buying one in
stores can cost an arm and a leg. On partycity.com the average costume costs
around $30 to $130. That can get very expensive, especially if more than one
costume is bought so do it yourself.
The first DIY costume is Harley Quinn from “Suicide
Squad.”
Materials needed include:
·
Fishnets
·
Black
or red shoes (Converse preferred, but whatever will work)
·
Jean
shorts
·
Red,
blue, and black paint
·
White
shirt
·
Hair
chalk
·
Black
belt
How to make it:
1.
If
you own any of these materials that I mentioned, you can use them. I recommend
things you don’t wear since you will be painting on them
2.
Go
to Goodwill and buy a white shirt. Any type works: a T-shirt, long sleeve, or
three quarter length shirt. Also buy jean shorts and a black belt if you don’t
already have them or don’t want to ruin yours.
3.
Go
to Walmart and buy cheap fishnets, fabric paint, and hair chalk if you want to.
4.
Take
the white shirt and paint one sleeve red and the other blue. Next paint Daddy’s
Lil Monster with black in Jezebel in the middle.
5.
Paint
one half of the jeans red and the other side is already blue because its denim.
6.
Apply
makeup like Harley Quinn, chalk hair if you want or can, pull up into pigtails,
and voila the look is complete.
The next costume is for Han Solo from “Star
Wars”
Materials needed:
·
White
long sleeve shirt
·
Black
vest
·
Black
belt
·
Jeans
·
Black
boots
How to make it
1.
Go
to Goodwill if you do not own these materials already
2.
If
you don’t own or cannot find a black vest, a black jacket and cut off the
sleeves and hood.
3.
Cut
a large v-neck into the shirt if its not like that already. Layer appropriately
and your done.
The next costume is a greek god/goddess
Materials needed:
·
A
white shirt
·
A
white sheet
·
A
belt
·
Gold
paint
·
A
headband
·
Gold
pipe cleaners
How to make it:
1.
Put
the white shirt on so where the sheet doesn’t cover the shirt will.
2.
Take
the white sheet and wrap around your body to make a toga.
3.
If
your belt is gold that works. If not paint it gold, and wrap it around your
waist.
4.
To
make the crown, take gold pipe cleaners to make a tiara or crown.
5.
Pop
it on your head and make people treat you like royalty.
