DIY Funny Halloween Costumes
Halloween is your opportunity to let your imagination run rampant as you craft the perfect costume. Designing a clever outfit can be easy and inexpensive. Your chief investment is the time you spend rifling through closets and drawers. The do-it-yourself route is a compromise between sewing a complicated costume and grabbing something off a retailer's shelf. Some ideas for DIY funny Halloween costumes include a chick magnet for a man, Minnie Mouse for a woman and zookeeper for a child. Static cling is another DIY Halloween costume option for a man or woman.
