Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1. Start with one item you really want to wear. Perhaps you want to carry around a sword, or you have some funky shoes, or a boa. It can even be a crazy hairdo. It’s easy to build a Halloween costume around a starting point.

2. Brainstorm people from history, books, or movies who would wear that item you have. For example a sword could be worn by Captain Hook, Jack Sparrow, or King Arthur.

3. Systematically think through each area of the body to add some pizzazz to your costume. A good Halloween costume is all about attention to detail. For example, on your hands do you need gloves, rings, or a pirate hook?

4. Come up with a budget for your Halloween costume. It’s easy to get carried away, only to realize later that you spent too much.

5. Look on eBay or at thrift stores for additional inspiration to find items that will make your Halloween costume amazing.

6. Wow your friends and amaze trick or treaters with your great Halloween costume.
