Home Made Halloween Costume Ideas for Kids

You want to dress up your kid for halloween but you want to keep the expense down to a minimum. What can you do? Easy. Look around the house for stuff. I used to dress up like a hobo just by wearing some of my dad's big shirts and smearing black makeup on my cheeks to look like dirt.

If your child is into sports he or she could dress up as their favorite sports star. You could sew on some fake fur, wear some oven mits and be some kind of animal. Cut up several of your favorite cereal boxes and attach the panels onto a big shirt and be a walking cereal box. Put on a suit, sunglasses, slick your hair back and you're a secret agent. Wear pants that are way too long, a t-shirt that's way too long, a baseball cap on backwards, hold something that could pass for a microphone and you're a rapper. Buy a little container of fake blood and smear it around, walk with a limp, and you're the walking dead.

Ok, maybe I'm getting carried away. As you can see, with a little imagination you can cook something up at home with very little expense.The possibilities are endless.
