Homemade Halloween Costumes: Ideas For Couples
_
It seems like people who win Halloween
Costume Contests are always wearing homemade Halloween Costumes.
It's not the people who throw on a pirate's eye patch or a French
maid outfit that win. Those costumes are a dime a dozen and you see
them on every corner on Halloween night.
The costumes that win the contests are unique and original creations, creations that take a little imagination. The real kicker is – these homemade costumes are often less expensive than the costumes you buy in the store. And they're so much more entertaining! And coming up with Halloween costumes for couples isn't as hard as you might think. Just take a look at this couple who dressed up as Beetlejuice and Lydia. Beetlejuice's suit cost a measly $8 at a thrift shop and with a little fabric paint he easily added the black stripes. Lydia's dress was another thrift shop purchase and all she had to add was a wig and some makeup. Alfred Hitchock's "The Birds"

This couple chose to model their
costume after the characters in one of their favorite, classic horror
movies – Alfred Hitchcock's “The Birds”.
Again, the clothes came from a local thrift shop and were gussied up with some crows and some bird doo-doo made with puffy paint. And old feather boa was sacrificed for extra feathers. And voila! An award winning homemade Halloween Costume for a couple! Lego Bride and Groom

But your costume doesn't have to be
based on a favorite horror movie. Use your imagination and you can
come up with all kinds of ideas for couples Halloween costumes. Pat
