Halloween for adults is a tough time with a tough decision. Do you spend a lot of money on a costume, or do you just throw something together? Saving up for the holidays means you need to skimp in some areas but making DIY Halloween costumes helps save money without skimping on fun!
The best part is you get to customize your costume every step of the way. You can make a swan dress like above but make it blue, pink, turn it into a duck instead, whatever you want. That is the beauty of DIY projects. The ability to insert your personality into every bit of the project.
Saving money is also a big deal. Costumes are becoming more and more expensive even though the quality of them isn’t increasing. You will still open a plastic bag to the world’s thinnest fabrics and the smelliest rubber masks. Making your own costumes allows you to pick the quality of the materials on your own.
