Good morning & Happy Halloween lovely dreamers and welcome to another lifestyle, last-minute DIY, Halloween edition, here on the DoB blog! How are you during this still uncertain, crazy, Covid-19 madness of October?
Our inner kids are screaming with excitement (are we the only ones?)! It’s October again, it’s Halloween again!
But what do you do when you’re in your 20s and 30s, on a strict budget because you’re being financially responsible (and big dreams), and can’t afford to/ don’t want to buy some of those Halloween costumes for couples that you’ve seen here and there, but still want to dress up?
Because we care about you, lovely dreamers, and because we know that you can get creative, but you just need a little inspiration, we thought that we would show you a small selection of some of the most fantastic and easy ideas we found on Pinterest.
Some of these include tutorials, some are self-explanatory, but all of them are just genius! Why stick to the boring, or to the non-existent costume, when you can create most of these with what you already have around your house?
