Halloween is right around the corner and if you are among the procrastinators still without a costume don’t panic! I put together six fabulous DIY creations that are guaranteed to be a hit and truly one of a kind.
So spare yourself the embarrassment this October 31st and skip the predictable, mass-produced costumes. Show off your creativity and style with one of these unique ideas. Chances are you probably already own some of the items need for these costumes.

Black Swan Costume

What you will need:

•Black Tutu (I found this at a local dance store for $23, but you can buy similar ones at Halloween stores)

•Bustier/leotard/slip

•Light pink tights (Wal-mart $4.50)

•I suggest ballet slippers over pointed shoes. They are much more comfortable and will not kill your feet.(The local dance store had them on sale for $5!)

•Pink ribbon (Wal-Mart $3.79)

•Tiara (Jo-Ann fabric $1.99)

•Rhinestones (Michael’s sells the multi pack for $2.99, but check your closet for old clothes with larger stones you can use)

•Black Feathers (Michael’s has many options. I choose the feather half circle and pack of loose feathers)

•Black feather boa ribbon

•Black tulle spool ( Jo-Ann fabric $ 2.99)

•Clothing glue
