Things You'll Need:
- Various Craft Supplies (Paint, Cardboard, Tin Foil, Tape, Fake Flowers, etc.)
- Face Paint
- Clothing to Match Your Desired Costume

Step 1
First, decide on what you would like to be. A mime? A robot? A princess? Once you decide on what you would like to be, decide what pieces you will need to make. Write everything down so you don't forget.
-
Step 2
Next, gather all your craft supplies together and begin making what you need. For example, if you would like to be a robot, use a cardboard box and cut a hole for your face, and cover the entire box in tin foil. Use your imagination! Decorate everything (or allow your kids to decorate) however you'd like. This is YOUR Halloween costume!

Step 3
Once you've crafted all the pieces, decide what you're going to wear. For our robot costume, something grey would be most suitable. If you don't have what you'd like to wear, head down to the second hand store. Often times you can get good clothing at very affordable prices. Put the whole outfit on and make any adjustments. Again, be creative! For the robot costume, you may want to put a "panel" on the chest, made out of duct tape and color it with permanent markers to make the buttons.

Step 4
On Halloween night, use the face makeup to give the finishing touches to your costume. Take lots of pictures, this is a Halloween you will not want to forget!
