Cheap Halloween Costumes

Cheap Halloween costumes may be needed this year with all the money we have all lost in the stock market. Here are some ideas for cheap Halloween costumes you can make at home. When Iw as a  kid one of the popular halloween costumes in our house was a bum. Its a cheap Halloween costume as you just dress up in some old clothes and maybe dirty yourself up. One the same theme tie a checkered handkerchief on a stick and you can be a hobo. Other cheap Halloween costume ideas for kids are:

 

• Sleeper PJ’s become costumes very easily. Cotton tail and floppy ears, bunny. Long tail and upright ears, draw whiskers on cheeks, kitty. Those headband ears are pretty cheap. Safety pins make it all temporary, just unpin and ready for bed. With them all so young, a herd of colored bunnies would be cute coming up the walk. 
• Easy costumes, as someone else said the sleeper ones are easy to make, add a flower to that list, make a green stem going down the sleeper and glue flowers or ribbons that look like flowers all over a cap of some sort, to make her a flower. A ghost is always easy, if she’s small enough, you could use a pillow case.
• How about Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail??

  Maggie and Cathi are right bunny costumes are the easiest things in the world to put together. All you need are sweat suits and about 1/4 yard of matching fabric to make floppy ears and of course some yarn to make tails. Cats are just as easy, just change the ears a little. 

• To add to the pajama ideas, dogs, felt spots glued on, felt ears on hat(droopy).

  Or you could buy sweats they can reuse this winter for pants and top and lightly stitch on.

  The peas are easy to make for the baby if you can sew. Just a green bunting type bag narrowed at the feet, green hat, with some green sponge balls sewn on.

  I got a chili pepper for my son which is basically the same; red with a green stem hat.

  You could do grapes for the kids. Purple sweats with balloons pinned on.
