How to make your own halloween costume?

My son is participating in Halloween costume competition and he is really waiting for his costume. He wants to have some cartoon type costume and I don't want to as this dress will be for one day only and will cost me a lot so I am planing to make it from my own by using old clothes and all. So please tell me how to make your own halloween costume?

I am really excited to tell you how to make your own Halloween costume, I prepare Halloween costume for my kid last month when he participated in Fancy dress competition. The material needed for Easy Ghost costume is 3 yds White cloth, White sweatsuit, White and black make up and White glitter body spray.

Directions: Make a poncho out of the white cloth by cutting a hole in the middle of material and put on the white sweatsuit and white cloth poncho, Now what you have to do is paint face with white make up and spray with white glitter body spray, rub a little black make up safely under eyes, and your ghost costume is complete.

Or in addition you can go with another costume and for that you have to cut a hole in center of a white sheet and drape it over your neck, cut along the bottom of the sheet so that it lays above your shoes. Use the scraps of sheet for ragged looking by tearing strips, draping them over the shoulders of the costume, and gluing them in place. Paint your face white with dark circles around your eyes.

I suggest you for an even neater effect, sprinkle baby powder in your hair. Have a nice time ahead. Take care!
