How to Get a Ninja Costume

The most notable thing about ninjas is the way they dress---though if they work right you may never see them. This is because ninja costumes are not just cool; they are designed for stealth and discreetness. Ninja costumes make great costumes for trick-or-treating, Halloween parties, or any other fun costume event. Luckily, ninja costumes are not as elusive as finding an actual ninja. By checking a few costume choices, you are sure to find a ninja costume that suits your needs.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Dark clothing
• Ninja weapons

The Steps

1. Check your local costume store. This should be your first step, but don't be afraid to look around in other places. While a costume shop will probably have at least one if not a variety of ninja costumes for sale in many sizes and designs, they will also most likely be the most expensive.

2. Buy a new one online. Sites like Real Ninja Costumes and the Karate Depot specialize in more authentic ninja costumes, but they are generally more expensive. There are also more affordable costume websites where you can purchase ninja costumes for kids and adults alike. See resources below.

3. Search for a pre-owned ninja costume at online sites like eBay.com or Deal Time. These will have new or gently used ninja costumes that are generally less expensive than specialty stores. See resources below.

4. Browse your local secondhand shop. Do not be afraid to browse your local thrift stores for great costume finds. Even if they do not have complete ninja costume sets, they will usually have pieces that you can use to make a ninja costume of your own. This includes ninja weaponry.

5. Get creative and make your own. All you really need to make a low-budget ninja costume are a black long sleeve shirt, black sweat pants, black gloves, and a black scarf to tie around your face. With the right ninja weaponry your ninja costume will be complete.
