When you think of Halloween, for most, the first thing that comes to mind is dressing up. Picking the best costume for yourself is key to the holiday. Maybe you decide weeks in advance or maybe it’s last minute; will you be something scary, a character from a movie, from a fairly tale?
There are so many options for Halloween costumes, sure you could visit Spirit Halloween but you’re just paying 90% more then what you should be. There are so many options for cheap costumes that look like you spent the money.
Pick your whole costume out at the thrift store, like my whole Mary Poppins costume courtesy of Goodwill. There are also some great do-it-yourself costumes like a faun costume, Stranger Things costumes, Thor costume and so many more. Check out all the different ideas below from some amazing bloggers. Even if you don’t find what you’re looking for below, hopefully it’ll give you some inspiration.

So many great ideas!
I love making homemade costumes. Not only are they more original, but I think they look so much cuter, especially on kids!
Now the only problem is- what to make this year… ;)
