8 of the Most Creative DIY Halloween Costumes
Oct 20, 2015 • Shirley Ricaforte
Let’s be real. It’s very probable that more than 50% of those who come across this list won’t read until the end of it now; they’ll simply save it for reference the day before Halloween. No worries, we get it. People are just so busy nowadays that even Halloween enthusiasts don’t have the time to prepare their costumes weeks in advance. Also, ready-made costumes are often too expensive, too small (cheers to the toy store’s kids section woohoo) or too cliché.
Despite the work, school or holiday season hustle, you still need an awesome Halloween costume that will turn heads and drop jaws. We got you; here are 8 ultra-creative Halloween costumes that you can DIY even just a day before (or, okay, the day of) October 31.
