Halloween Costumes You Can Create at Home!
As Halloween quickly approaches, so does the panic to find the perfect costume. We know this doesn’t always come cheap, so no matter the mood you’re in, we have you covered with ten costumes you can create yourself at home. Whether you’re after something trendy, sexy or scary, you’ll find it here.
Trendy
Every year we see that one costume that everyone wants to be. In 2016, Harley Quinns flooded the streets as every man and his dog put on a blonde wig with pink and blue streaks. To this day, on October 31st, we still see the odd Harley Quinn lurking in the shadows. This year, stay up with the trends with the latest star-studded hit movie, Free Guy. Or maybe you prefer something less chipper, like Black Widow or Cruella De Vil
