Halloween gives you opportunity to show off your creativity by fashioning an elaborate attire. Making your outfit doesn't have to be an investment - you can use many materials you already have. A large pair of jeans can be transformed into numerous costumes. Start preparing early for Halloween to avoid the last-minute rush and plan a truly original costume. Leave the store bought costume at the store this year and dress in style! Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1. Use a large pair of flared jeans to dress in the flower power style of the 1960s. The shirt can consist of anything with patchwork, tie-dye, suede or leather, fringe or an Indian design. Accessorize your look with some love beads.

2. Dress as a construction worker for a quick to make costume. Add a white shirt, tan boots, tool belt and hard hat to your large pair of jeans and you're set to go.

3. Use long, ripped, bell-bottom jeans for a hippie look. Wear sandals and a tie-dyed, Woodstock or Grateful Dead T-shirt. Adorn yourself with love beads, peace pins and some groovy sunglasses.

4. Return to the 1950s by rolling your jeans up to mid-calf and wearing an untucked, white button-down shirt with tennis shoes. Women should add a scarf and guys grease back their hair to complete the outfit.

5. Attend the party as a scarecrow with a pair of knee-patched large jeans. Wear these with a loose-fitting flannel shirt and attach straw to both with duct tape.

6. Create a rapper costume with the jeans if they are a few sizes too large. Wear a black T-shirt, gold chains and a baseball cap worn backward. Bring along a boom box and blast the Halloween party with loud rap music.
