You can find a large variety of Halloween costumes available at stores in your neighborhood. However, when you consider the cost and lack of originality, homemade costumes are a more fun and oftentimes more cost-effective option. Plus, if you involve your children in creating the homemade costumes, the results will be worth more than any store-bought costume in any store.

Here are some great homemade Halloween costume ideas that don't cost alot and show alot more imagination.

Scarecrow: Use an over-sized flannel shirt, get some straw and a pair of baggy faded jeans with patches and it will make a great scarecrow. Then stuff the jeans and shirt with a plastic grocery bag and leave a little straw hanging out of the shirt and jeans. You can add a little makeup to the little ones face and you got a scarecrow costume.

Ghost: Ghosts are an old stand-by that never goes out of style. Use an old white sheet with holes cut for the eyes and sew a simple treat bag out of a scrap of material or a worn out pillow case. You can dress your ghost up a bit by making lips out of red lipstick and a few false eyelashes. Or you could color a beard and moustache with markers. You may want to create a colorful ghost by using a sheet covered with polka dots or one that is brightly colored.

Clown: It's easy to create a good clown costume, all you really need is some sweat clothes that are a bit to large then decorate them with some fabric paint and/or markers. Now sew some pom poms, and use an inexpensive wig from a local costume shop and get a large colorful clown hat. You can even stuff the clothing with tisssue for a big clown added effect.

Hippy:This costume is funny for adults and kids as well. Making you child a hippy is easy. Just get a tie-dye shirt and faded jean with holes in the knees and you got the whole hippy look. For an aded effect use a headband, some type of ponytail wig, and a jacket or vest with some great fringes and you got a authentic looking hippy costume for your kid.

Nerd:If your kid is head of the class why not make him the nerd of the school. All you need to do is get a completely white shirt, some pocket protectors, and pants that are way to short and you got a little nerd. Plus you need get some horn-rimmed glasses, pull up those socks and some shinny black dress shoes and you got a big nerd on your hands! Finally remember to get some get strong gel for there hair and some big buck teeth and you'll have the biggest dork you've ever seen.

Soda Can: Find an inexpensive plastic barrel and cut a hole in the bottom. Paint the entire barrel the colors and design of your favorite brand of soda in a can. With holes for arms and your head, a simple barrel can transform your child into a soda can.

Your child can be the hit of your block or at the neighborhood Halloween party if you use a little imagination and create special homemade costumes out of inexpensive, household items.
