Halloween is a special holiday for kids of all ages. Every year since I can remember I get excited about figuring out what I’ll dress up as for Halloween. The possibilities are truly endless. And, if you’re anything like me you always want to make sure it has an element of creativity. Because, honestly sometimes it’s more fun designing and creating the costume than it is running around trying to gather candy. I also tend to get the best reaction out of my simple DIY costume creations than anything store bought. My best advice, keep it simple. It doesn’t have to take a lot of money or a lot of supplies to really be a show stopper – all it takes is a little imagination.
