13 Easy DIY Halloween Costumes From Clothes In Your Closet
DIY Halloween costumes are all about creativity and imagination! Dressing up for Halloween can be so fun when you make up your own costume from clothes you already own in your closet!
I remember when I was in high school, my parents would give me a bit of $$$ to go out and buy a Halloween costume. I remember wanting to use that $$$ on real clothes I already wanted, but also wanting to dress up for Halloween. During my sophomore year I decided I would start DIYing my own Halloween costumes with REAL clothes from my closet. I would then just buy a few supporting accessories or clothing pieces to complete my Halloween look & get pieces of that OOTD id been eyeing. It's the best of both worlds if you ask me!
This way, you could buy a new dress or a new skirt that you could wear again and again. By the way my parents totally loved this idea! Halloween is really the start of the party season and what better way than to start it off with a few fun outfit pieces that can go beyond just Halloween night!
If your dressing up for a Halloween party or passing out candy & watching a good Halloween movie, we have come up with a few fun costume ideas from clothes that are probably already in your closet (or your BFF'S closet)
