Most people love Halloween because they are passionate about costumes, the spooky season, and the entire Halloween culture. However, most students who are passionate about this season have a hard time celebrating it because they want to spend as little money as possible.
But how does a lack of money affect Halloween?
Now, Halloween consists of dressing up and going out, but it can get expensive as the average cost of a Halloween costume at Spirit Halloween is around $40. Students work hard to earn money, but it is difficult for them to spend it on costumes.
That’s why Ricardo Marquez started the tradition of creating his own do-it-yourself (DIY) costumes. This is the perfect alternative to save money this season.
He mentioned dressing up as a clown last year and making two costumes from scratch. He first sketched out his idea in detail and began work.
Marquez said commercially made costumes can have size issues.
“There’s usually no stretch, which means if it doesn’t fit you, it won’t fit you,” Marquez says.
But on the other hand, costumes sold in stores may not appeal to everyone, but by creating a costume you can customize it to your size and make it appealing to you. It also says that you can.
Marquez acknowledges the fact that creating a costume from scratch takes time and effort, but says it’s well worth it. He added that doing so allows you to be creative and have fun, allowing you to create real-life costumes based on the outfit. About his mental image.
Another benefit of sewing his looks is that you can reuse the fabric. Fabric is usually cheaper at stores like Michaels and Walmart, as are some supplies.
This is a great opportunity for students who are passionate about Halloween to create their own unique costumes. For example, Marquez says she’s reusing costumes from last Halloween and breaking down the fabric so she can use it for this year’s costumes.
This is perfect for low-income students and families who want to participate in Halloween festivities. So not only are costumes cheap to create, they can be reused and created to personal standards.
So don’t be afraid to create your personal horror masterpiece. This could be a better option for students and Halloween enthusiasts who want a cheap, reusable, and great-looking costume this Halloween.
