Pumkin's are in the air!

Halloween! The only day of the year where we can choose to be anyone we want to be. So if you’re a Disney fan like me it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what you’re planning on being. The only problem that tends to get in the way of our fun is our budget. Costumes just aren’t cheap but no worries there are tons of substitutes that work way better.

So you want to be a Disney Princess?

Costumes can be made with items you already own. In this picture we have three well known Disney Ladies. Esmeralda, Snow White and Rapunzel. As we can see they have all made their outfits with simple things we can find in our closets; skirts, blouses, dresses and shoes.  Although you might need to buy a few items you don't have, it will be cheaper than buying the actual costume.

Tip: If you have the perfect item for your desired costume but it’s not the right color you can always dye it.

So you want to be a Disney Couple?

 Time is something that might not always be on our side. This is a last minute costume my boyfriend and I did last Halloween.  As you can see we were Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable.

Items needed for Kim:                                       Items needed for Ron:

·         Red or Orange hair Spray                                        Blue jeans

·         Black crop top                                                        Black T-Shirt
·         Green jeans                                                     Black Gloves

·         Black gloves                                                          Black Sneakers

·         Brown belt                                                             Optional: Blonde wig 

·         Black boots or flats

·        

Just for fun

A sticker was printed out (the kimmunicator) and placed on the back of a cheap iphone case I had bought just for the occasion. So my phone was the Kimmunicator!

We didn’t have a real naked mole rat so we had a sticker one which we placed on a foam surface and then cut out. 

So you want to be your favorite Disney Character?

Creativity really is key. Above we have two simple costumes to make. Angel from Lilo and Stich and Boo from Monsters Inc.  

For the Angel Costume all that was used was a pink dress of your choice, a head band, wires and some extra pink fabric to wrap the wires in and form Angel’s ears. Face and body paint could be added.

For the Boo costume a long pink shirt, some purple leggings, a pair of white converse and pigtails of course were used.

The sky is the limit. Go crazy with your Disney Costumes. Make a zombie version. Make your costume unique and most important of all, have fun!
