Homemade Halloween Costumes on a Budget

This Halloween people are looking for Halloween costumes on a budget. Following is a list of cheap Halloween costumes that anyone can wear and how to put them together. Some are funny, some are odd, and all of them are cheap or inexpensive.

Cheap Homemade Halloween Costumes

Cat/black panther - Almost everyone has black clothes. Wear the black clothing as part of the costume. If a hair band is accessible it will be easier to keep the cat ears on instead of attaching them directly to hair. Make ears with construction paper. Cut triangles out of black construction paper with smaller pink triangles to be the inside of the ear.

Buy black fabric and make the tail between one foot and three feet long depending on the height of the wearer. Cut the strip approximately three to four inches wide the full-length.

Use as much lace as you would like and tape one end around the inside of the hat. Any girl can be a princess.

Hobo/bum - Most people have old clothes lying around somewhere. Wear torn old jeans and stained, cut t-shirts for a hobo or a bum look.
