Homemade Halloween Costume Ideas
Yes, the economy sucks right now and we're all trying to dig ourselves out from a mountain of debt, but what do we do if we want to celebrate Halloween anyway? It sucks big time to not have the money to buy a professional costume, but not to worry. I'm here to help with several homemade Halloween costume ideas.
First off, this is one from an old movie that I've always loved the idea of and I think could work well (though you will need to explain it to some people). It's the Law Suit; basically, what you do is to scour the web for various legal documents. A simple Google search should bring up plenty of material for you. Print out around thirty of them or so and then go and grab your Sunday suit. Use some safety pins to pin the legal documents all over your suit and lo and behold, you've got a lawsuit (Law Suit, get it?).
Okay, for the ladies who don't mind showing off some skin, try this on for size: Get one of your most scanty looking dresses - something tight fitting would be best and wear a pair of long boots together with it. Add in tons of makeup, much more than you would ordinarily wear, maybe die your hair a funky color as well and well, you know. . .just make sure you can explain to any cops who stop you that it's a Halloween costume and you're not a "working girl."
Okay, how about this one for a homemade Halloween costume idea: The Michael Jackson look. Basically, you can choose how far you want to take this and how much effort you'll put into your costume. You want to use either a hair press or a curler to give your hair one of those Michael Jackson looks. If you have short hair, you'll need to buy a wig. If your hair is not the right color, dye it black. Next, use some light powder to give your skin a Michael Jackson style look. Add in a black jacket with some silver tassels across it (you can buy and glue or sew the silver tassels on from any craft store) and some black pants. Complete the look with a flat black hat. If you can get your hands on a campaign hat from some political party, you could paint it black for a cheap and close approximation of Michael's hat.
These are of course just a few ideas. The list is endless. Try and experiment and tell your friends about your homemade Halloween costume ideas. They'll thank you and you'll both save money in the long run.

can anyone help me find a Peter Pan dagger?
My boyfriend and i are being Peter Pan and Tinker Bell for halloween. im pretty good at sewing and our costumes are all done. but he REALLy wants to carry around a little dagger like Peter's (looks like this http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DISNEY-PETER-PAN-NEVERLAND-COSTUME-DAGGER-KNIFE_W0QQitemZ310091408604QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item310091408604&_trkparms=72%3A1205|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) but i dont want to buy it online because it probably wont get her in time for our party thats in seven days. does ANYONE know where i can go to get this?
ive tried wal mart, target, MANY local costume shops, the craft and party place...i dont know where else to go. we even have a Disney outlet store at the beach and they had a ton of costumes in there but no little dagger : (
Try toysRus. Any toy store should have a little plastic one. Not look like this exactly but who cares? it'll be good enough.
That auction ends in 14 hrs. If you have it fedexed or UPS next day it should get to you with plenty of time!
