Costumes are so much fun. Not only because you can be someone else for a night, but also because putting them together takes a lot of thought and creativity, and it becomes a very enjoyable process, especially if you’re planning it with a few friends.
While you can buy numerous types of costumes in stores today, this way will not only miss out on all the fun of putting things together yourself, but it will also cost you quite a bit of money. You can save money and have a lot of fun making your own costume.
Let’s say you’re going to a theme night as a witch. Well, you probably have everything you need to dress up as a witch in your own home. To begin with, you must first discover the clothes. For clothing, you need a long black cape or a black tunic. If you don’t have any, you can take an old white sheet, dye it black, and just use your needle and thread to make it look like a cape.
To do this, fold the sheet in half and cut a hole for your head to pass through. Once you’ve cut off the head, put it on and have a friend put needles where you need to sew it to make the arm holes. Just sew a straight line from there to the waist. When you put it on, it will look a bit like a figure eight, but you have successfully made a cape without spending any money.
Next, you need a pointed hat. For this, take a piece of black cardboard and mold it into the shape of a top hat. Put staples in it to keep it in shape. You’ll also need black shoes and a broom for personal transportation.
The most important part of the witch costume is making sure the makeup is correct. You have to look very scary and very ugly as that is what witches look like. So, just grab your makeup and get creative. Don’t forget to put on a wart and a very dark lipstick.
In a single day, and with almost no money, you can transform your household supplies into a witch costume. It’s not hard and certainly not expensive to do all of this, and you’ll actually end up having fun trying to figure out how to do everything right without making a big mess.
Theme nights can be a lot of fun with costumes where everyone tries to look more authentic than everyone else. It’s great to have some kind of prize at the end of the party for the best costume, especially if people have worked to make the costumes and not bought them. With just a little creativity, you can make your costume the best of the night.
