With Halloween right around the corner, you may be heading out to stores in search of the perfect costume. If you do not want to spend a lot of money this year, or prefer to get a little more creative with your costume, here are some cheap, easy D.I.Y. costume ideas:
Vampire
The vampires of today don’t necessarily come in black capes anymore. For this costume, all you need is makeup in a shade lighter than your complexion to apply all over your face. You can use red lipstick to draw blood dripping from the corner of your mouth. With so many vampire characters in TV shows and movies, you can be inspired by one of their looks.
