It's hard to imagine the benefits of being a hobo (or tramp), but for Halloween, there are several. The homemade costume is cheap because you can use clothing you already have or can find in a thrift store. There's no need to go shopping or worry about what you want not being available (great for a last minute costume idea). You can also adjust your attire to the weather so that you are more comfortable. The fun thing about dressing up as a hobo is that the "costume" is androgynous. If you're creative, you will have people guessing whether you're really a guy or gal. Kind of like those old Saturday Night Live skits with "Pat". The ideas below will work great for a hobo, bum, vagrant, or vagabond. You can call it what you want. Add a sign and you can be a beggar.

To show off your creativity. For many people, most of the fun lies in visualizing and then putting together a creative costume. So even if you find the actual experience of being in costume to be rather uncomfortable (physically or psychologically), one upside of costuming is that it’s a great way to flex your creative muscles. Every year, some of the most popular and talked about costumes tend to be the most creative ones. Another benefit of creative costume design is it helps us learn about ourselves. As European social scientists Janine Fron and her colleagues point out, “Dress-up provides the opportunity for transformative play, for in dressing up and taking on new roles, we learn more about ourselves.” To try out a new identity. Today, virtually all opportunities to disguise ourselves and try on a new identity are limited to the online domain. In a virtual game, for example, you can explore what it means to be of a different age, race, or gender, or even a different species altogether.

Avoid the toxic chemicals in store-bought Halloween makeup by making your own homemade costume makeup. It’s a fun project that can be customized for your costume. Why make your own homemade costume makeup? If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll already know that my main reason for making something yourself is so that you can control the ingredients.

Almost half were found to have at least traces of one heavy metal, but some were found to have as many as 4.

These easy Halloween costumes are homemade and simple – even for women who aren’t crafty, creative or artistic! They’re perfect for office costume parties, school events, and even trick or treating on October 31. Easy Homemade Bubble Bath Halloween Costume
The Bubble Bath Halloween costume is easy and fun – and it allows you to be creative with stuff you have at home. Put your hair in curlers, rollers, or a towel turban. Carry a bathrobe or loofah back scratcher. Attach white balloons to your body; you might even make a bathtub out of white poster board. This is one of the easiest homemade Halloween costumes for women because it consists mostly of things you already have in your bathroom: soap on a rope, rubber ducks, candles, or slippers for your feet. I included another photo of a different woman wearing homemade Bubble Bath Halloween costume at the end of this article.

101 Cheap + Easy DIY Halloween Costume Ideas
by Stephanie Gerber
84 · October 12, 2019 · Updated February 20, 2021 · Post may contain affiliate links. For some of us, Halloween costumes are fun…but kind of stressful. It’s hard enough pinning down what the kids want to be and getting their costumes made or purchased—then you have to figure out your own? Too much pressure! I don’t even have kids to costume, and most years I panic at the last minute, grabbing the bottom-of-the-barrel getup from the party store or (God forbid) going costumeless. If you think outside the box, you can come up with a clever, creative costume that can be put together in a couple trips to the thrift, fabric and/or dollar store (or maybe even your own closet). Any of these easy DIY Halloween costume ideas will score you some cool points with your friends, co-workers and trick-or-treaters. DIY Costumes for Women

If you’ve got black Mary Janes and white tights, you’re halfway to an Alice in Wonderland costume, like this one from Keiko Lynn. 2.

About Tracy Ariza, DDS
 I use empty chapstick or lipstick tubes for easy application.) Allow to cool and harden before using. Customizing your homemade costume makeup
Why use clay? Which are best? My first attempts at making a homemade costume makeup ended up in a shiny, greasy-looking makeup. With some colors like black, it really didn’t look too bad, and the makeup spread pretty easily. After doing some more experimentation, though, I found that adding in some bentonite clay allowed for a more opaque and less shiny makeup that more easily spread on the skin. Adding the clay helped give better coverage without needing to add as many colorants. I tried using other clays like kaolin clay when making white makeup and red clay when making a red makeup stick. Colored clays work relatively well for coloring the makeup, but I prefer the texture that bentonite clay gives the makeup.

About Tracy Ariza, DDS
 Check out this recipe
At Easter, I enjoyed using turmeric, homemade beetroot powder, and red cabbage to make beautiful vibrant sprinkles for my homemade marshmallow peeps. Vibrant, Easy Paleo Sprinkles
These homemade healthy sprinkles have very vibrant colors and are made with natural ingredients that you likely already have sitting around your kitchen. Check out this recipe
Lightening and darkening the pigments
Titanium oxide works well to lighten up colors but should be added little by little to avoid adding too much. Some colors will lighten up as they solidify, so you may want to err on the side of making the colors too dark. they can always be re-melted and lightened up later on, but it’s hard to darken them once you’ve lightened too much. Choosing your oils and waxes
Any liquid oil should make a homemade costume makeup stick with a similar consistency to the ones I made. I used sunflower oil because it is an inexpensive, non-comedogenic oil that can be easily found even in supermarkets here. For somebody who has issues with acne, it makes a lot of sense to use a non-comedogenic oil. No matter which oil you use, though, these makeup sticks won’t be fully non-comedogenic. Beeswax has a comedogenic rating of 2, meaning that it may cause breakouts for some people.

I got the idea for this homemade Halloween costume from a bubble bath costume that I had seen years ago. All I did was take a plastic planting pot which I got at Wal-Mart. I measured myself around my waist and then measured inside the planter and cut out the appropriate size from the bottom so I could stand inside it and have it rest on my hips. Getting Some Help From my Friends
I had to ask a neighbor to help me cut off the bottom (since it was considered to be too dangerous with an electric saw). Anyway after my assistant cut off the bottom I spray painted it white with cheap spray paint. Then I bought yellow tulle and hot glued the outside on to the pot. you have to do the outside first then put the batting in which I got from a fabric store.

 Another benefit of creative costume design is it helps us learn about ourselves. As European social scientists Janine Fron and her colleagues point out, “Dress-up provides the opportunity for transformative play, for in dressing up and taking on new roles, we learn more about ourselves.” To try out a new identity. Today, virtually all opportunities to disguise ourselves and try on a new identity are limited to the online domain. In a virtual game, for example, you can explore what it means to be of a different age, race, or gender, or even a different species altogether. Even on social media, you can carefully curate your posts to produce and communicate a desirable image of yourself. It is relatively easy to shrug off your core self-identities and try on new, exciting, and starkly different identities online. But such a thing is very difficult to pull off in real life. In fact, Halloween offers one of the few sanctioned and widely available opportunities to try out a new identity for a short while and see how it feels. Many of us want to experience what it feels like to be powerful and special.

But you can make a unique costume using items you probably already have in your closet. If you have a brown dress in your closet, pick up some white and brown felt, and deer makeup, and use scissors and a hot glue gun to make a Bambi-inspired costume.

 Plastic tablecloths, hangers and bubble wrap: all potential material
One wonderful thing about Halloween is that unlike with wedding or baby shower planning (other popular Pinterest subjects), is that you don’t have to take this stuff seriously. You can get silly and weird and your costume will be all the better for it. One year I dressed up as OK Cupid (I would meet my husband on that site but nine months later!). I wore a short red slip dress with 99 cent store angel wings and using construction paper, wrote out phrases in Sharpie that were familiar on the site like “looking for a partner in crime” and “best feature: my eyes.” I cut these out in bubble comment shapes, safety-pinned them all over my dress with the letters “OK” extra big in a heart shape on the bodice. This makeshift Halloween costume took me all of 30 minutes to make and wound up winning me second prize in a contest. Other Halloween celebrants have had similar success with just using what’s lying around their home. “I have done some wacky stuff without ever sewing anything,” says Jeanine Murch, a Brooklyn-based artist. “

With felt and glue, make brown, beige and white bumps. Cover the wearer’s entire backside with bumps. On the front, cut lots of fringes from light-colored felt and attach with glue.

DIY Halloween costumes can be difficult to put together, especially if you don't have a ton of arts and crafts experience. But you can make a unique costume using items you probably already have in your closet. If you have a brown dress in your closet, pick up some white and brown felt, and deer makeup, and use scissors and a hot glue gun to make a Bambi-inspired costume. Throw it back to the '90s and dress up as Posh Spice in a black dress, black heels, and dark eye makeup. Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.

Grab suspenders, thick lensed glasses (wrap tape around the nose part), pocket protector, calculator, math books and put your clothes on as nerdy looking as possible, shirt tucked in, zipper on pants left open, pants pulled up high and you have to play nerdy too. Plus brush your hair to the side or wear it as you wouldnt normally.

Paper mache is a flexible medium for making costume heads. If you are wearing a costume to a party or for Halloween, a costume head is not always a required accessory. Often masks or your own face combined with a changed wardrobe are enough to complete the costume. But for costumes that are not completely human, such as a Lego character, ghost or even a cartoon character, a costume head will help the costume become more believable. If you are making your own costume head, you must take care to ensure that the mask fits well and does not obstruct vision. Step 1
Inflate a balloon to the correct size. The balloon must be larger than your own head so that the costume head will fit over your own head. Place the balloon on a ceramic mug to hold it in place while you work. Step 2
Mix 3/4 cups white glue and 1/4 cup water to make paper mache paste in a mixing bowl. Tear newspaper into 1-inch strips.

Looking for a more badass costume? Turn yourself into a boxer, complete with a fake bruise! Braid your hair into pig tails, through on some workout gear, and bust out the purple eyeshadow to give yourself a bruise. You might have to improvise for your boxing robe or forgo it, but either way you’re sure to look super intimidating but still adorable! 14. Ooh La La! Sure, No French Woman Actually Dresses Like This, But It’s Pretty Darn Cute
Yes, I totally realize this stereotype is completely inaccurate. To be fair, when people dress as an American they probably dress as an overweight Donald Trump supporter and that’s definitely not what we see everyday. All you have to do for this costume is throw on a black and white striped shirt, a black skirt or black pants, and some red heels.

 Early Halloween costumes emphasized the gothic nature of Halloween, and were aimed primarily at children. Costumes were also made at home, or using items (such as make-up) which could be purchased and utilized to create a costume. But in the 1930s, A.S. Fishbach, Ben Cooper, Inc., and other firms began mass-producing Halloween costumes for sale in stores as trick-or-treating became popular in North America. Halloween costumes are often designed to imitate supernatural and scary beings. Costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, skeletons, witches, goblins, trolls, devils, etc. or in more recent years such science fiction -inspired characters as aliens and superheroes. There are also costumes of pop culture figures like presidents, athletes, celebrities, or characters in film, television, literature, etc. Another popular trend is for women (and in some cases, men) to use Halloween as an excuse to wear sexy
Child in a plain white mask
or revealing costumes, showing off more skin than would be socially acceptable otherwise. Young girls also often dress as entirely non-scary characters at Halloween, including princesses, fairies, angels, cute animals and flowers . Halloween costume parties generally take place on or around October 31, often on the Friday or Saturday prior to the holiday.

Grab a bra, glue gun, some embellishments, and start swimming. Errr…crafting.

Should You Wear a Costume for Halloween?
The pros and cons of dressing up for undecided readers.

Reasons why you shouldn’t wear a Halloween costume

 But are these assumptions really true? I don’t mean to be a killjoy but there are probably just as many good reasons not to wear a Halloween costume as there are to wear one. Here, I want to explore some pros and cons of the decision to wear a costume on Halloween, with a goal of swaying those on the fence one way or the other. Reasons why you should consider wearing a costume on Halloween
We’ll look at the pros of Halloween costuming for undecided adults first. In my book, they all boil down to questions about enjoyment and intrinsic motivations. For sheer enjoyment of the experience. Consumer researchers have argued that rather than providing utilitarian benefits, the value of many consumption experiences lies in the “ fantasies, feelings, and fun” they provide. To many people, Halloween costumes provide all three of these things in good measure. So the first and foremost reason for wearing a costume is the simplest yet most powerful one: enjoyment of the experience.

1. Dress Up in a Costume
You can still dress up for Halloween if you aren’t planning on going out! Dressing in spooky, funny or creative costumes is fun on any day of the year. Kids will have fun pretending to be their favorite characters and adults will, too. If you are creative with scenery and a camera, you can take some posed pictures of yourself or children in costume to show to friends and family. Try dimming the lamps and lights in the house for an even spookier picture! ico_angle_left

Perfect Look to Complement Your Costume
 Kids cannot see very well through a mask when trick or treating and that can quickly become a hazard as darkness approaches and they are running around the streets. Even if you are not a child, a mask can be hot and constricting, especially at a party or while trying to consume those favorite Halloween treats! Halloween makeup is the best solution as you can easily remain in disguise without the hassle of a mask. Makeup also transforms your face and body into the character you are trying to portray, instead of simply feeling like you are wearing a costume. General Instructions
No matter what look you're going for, use this basic process. Buy face paint or make your own. Never use real paint, only products specifically designed for use on your skin. Sit down in front of a counter or table with a mirror and spread out all your tools and makeup. Wrap an old towel around shoulders and neck. Always tie hair back when applying makeup.
