Here are a few additional tips for making low-cost DIY Halloween costumes:

• Use what you have. Look around your house for items that you can use to create your costume. Look at your old clothes and bedding for starters.
• Check out the charity shops. Charity shops are a great place to find inexpensive clothes and accessories for your costume. You can also find props and other items that you can use to complete your look. Lots of charity shops sell Halloween costumes this time of year too, so you could pick an actual costume up for a couple of pounds.
• Be creative. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your costume. There are no rules when it comes to DIY Halloween costumes. The more unique and original your costume is, the more fun you’ll have!

Have fun creating your low-cost DIY Halloween costume! Remember – the cost of the costume doesn’t equal the fun you and your children will have!
