So Halloween has already passed and I know this is kind of weird but it is probably one of my favorite holidays! I definitely love most of the fall holidays, you know Thanksgiving, Christmas, Veterans Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, New Years. They are all pretty good reasons to get out of school or sleep in, but really they mean so much more.
Moving on, Halloween isn't a holiday that you get to get out of school or receive yummy food or celebrate Jesus. However, Halloween is a time for you to be something else, someone else. I'm not sure why I love it so much, maybe I'm not happy with myself... or maybe I'm so happy with everything that I am that I want to create another person thats just as amazing (sorry, jk I'm not that conceded).
Halloween can sometimes get expensive, if you're anything like me you want more than one costume for all the festivities. There's parties, themed events, and actual halloween; so I like to have a costume for each one. A couple of years ago I actually had 3 different costumes and rocked them all so cheaply.
I don't like spending money frivolously. I like to get my money's worth and save as much as I can. So I DIY a lot. I mean all the time. Just go check out my DIY Wedding article.
You'll see how much I actually made for my wedding. Anyways, I like to make my costumes or order parts of them from Amazon or Ebay as much as possible. It's actually super easy and you'd be surprised how cheap things on Ebay go for.
There are a ton of websites and lists and pinterest post that show you just how easy it is to make your own costumes. I already have mine and my husband's costumes picked out for the next 5 years, if not more! Here is a website in particular that I like to resort to when I'm looking for some fun costumes that can be made pretty easily: http://costumeyeti.com/easy-diy-halloween-costumes. Check it out and maybe you can make one your costumes for next year!
