With Halloween just 4 weeks away, are you or your loved ones prepared to dress up? One of the coolest ways to have a stand-out costume is to skip the pre-packaged costumes, and develop a one-of-a-kind concoction through thrifting, swapping, and DIY.
To give you some inspiration, here are some of my looks over the last few years:
By attending a swap, I scored a chicken hat and beak. Read more about hosting a swap here.
One year, I DIY'd an Ursula costume from thrifted pieces, with a little sewing and painting. Read a step-by-step here.
The year I was Rock Lobster for Halloween, I was also able to resell some pieces to keep the fun going for the next person and recoup some cash.
Then there was the year I was a time lord, the one and only Dr. Who, incorporating some second-hand pants and top.
And last year, a combination of thrifting and DIY, let me bring a classic painting to life, and intentional use of double stick tape means I'll be able to reuse the main component as a formal gown in the future.
This year, I've already acquired most of the components for my costume from online consignment, but am also happy I'll be able to re-use the blond wig from my Dr. Who costume.
