When it comes to choosing a Halloween costume, you have two options available. Either you go to a store and buy the right costume or you simply make it yourself. With the last option you can not only save a lot of money. You'll also get a costume that no one else has. If you need a last minute idea, you can also make Halloween costumes yourself. Because great costumes can usually no longer be found at the last minute. And to make this happen particularly quickly, we have some helpful tricks for you that will help you create the perfect outfit at the last moment.
Gray hair works very well for many looks. If you can't find a wig at the last minute, use a simple trick: baby powder is wonderful for achieving the gray hair effect and is always available at the drugstore. If you would like to make simple Halloween costumes yourself, you can atWig as an accessorysave.
You probably already know this trick because it is mostly used for the Pippi Longstocking costume. However, we would like to remind you once again that you can make different braids stick out in any direction by incorporating wire. The idea can be used for any other costumes.
You can also make other accessories out of wire. If you are making a last minute outfit yourself this year and need a crown, pre-shape it with wire first. You can then wrap the wire with aluminum foil and design it as you wish. This idea doesn't take much time and is a particularly cheap alternative.
But that's not all you can create with aluminum foil. You can also make metal teeth if you're still looking for the finishing touches to your costume. To do this, simply wrap your tooth with the foil. The idea is just as suitable for the so-called grill for teeth, which is typical for rappers.
Have you chosen Medusa this year? In addition to the right make-up, hair accessories also contribute to the perfect look. Get some plastic snakes. You're guaranteed to find some in a toy store. Then glue the snakes to a headband.
You can make fluffy animal feet by using a shaggy bathroom doormat. You can make animalistic and cheap Halloween costumes yourself by wrapping shoes with the mat. Glue or pin the fabric. You can then use the remaining fabric for ears or a tail. Gloves can also be covered with the mat for front paws. Cut off the tips of the gloves and replace them with triangles that imitate claws.
The Ninja Turtles are particularly popular with children. The most complicated part is the tank. But if you want to make these Halloween costumes yourself, you can use everyday things to save money and time. Just buy the cheapest rack pan you can find. A disposable roasting pan is also suitable. Paint these green. Add holes on the sides through which you can thread string to put the tank on.
Wings are even easier to make. Get white paper plates. You now have to cut these to size. It is best to choose the shape of a crescent moon, or rather a C-shape. First arrange the finished shapes as shown and then glue them together.
You can make wings yourself even easier. You either need an old umbrella or you buy a cheap one in black color. Cut it up and either sew it to the sleeves or attach the wings to the wrists with loops.
With a transparent umbrella you can create a costume that is guaranteed to be a real eye-catcher and steal the show. It is a jellyfish. Attach strips of white fabric or strips of garbage bags to the edge of the umbrella. If you make a Halloween costume like this yourself, all you need is white clothing. You can also attach a string of lights inside the jellyfish.
You will need one black and one white long-sleeved shirt. First draw the skeleton on the black one and then cut it out. If you now pull it over the white shirt, the white bones can be clearly seen. Making Halloween outfits yourself can be so easy, right?
You can also paint black stripes on a white shirt to disguise yourself as a bank robber or get a striped shirt straight away. A mask like that of the Ninja Turtles, gloves and a hat complete the costume. But don't forget the money bag either. A fabric bag on which you paint the dollar sign is perfect for this.
Use a sharpie to paint the joints of a doll onto light-colored women's tights. The tights can also be dyed in any color beforehand. If you are a witch, green is a good choice. A zombie has gray skin. Shading makes the joints look even more effective.
Many of the accessories found in your closet can be used for a quick costume. This also saves time to buy new ones. So before you run to the store, take a look in the cupboard to see if you can't find something suitable. Here are some ideas:
– Flower hairband and round sunglasses for hippie costumes
– Suspenders for the nerd
– dress up as a librarian with glasses
– Coach or sports teacher with whistle
– the camera is suitable for the tourist
– Greek goddess design with a white sheet and gold color
– Gypsies with headscarves and lots of jewelry
– a suit and sunglasses for a CIA agent
– Flannel shirt, boots and a cowboy hat for cowboy or cowgirl
– Murderer housewife with a blood-spattered apron (use red paint or ketchup)
– Unicorn costume with a party hat and lots of glitter
