Home made Halloween

Can you still picture your parents throw together Halloween costume from when you were little?  Remember them using what was around the house?  (And remember feeling not all that sure that you looked right?)

We have moved to buying our costumes, lawn decor and decorations. But it's not too late to go back.

A few years ago I was going through the garage and found some old shelves.  With just a few cuts and some paint, I had my own decorations.  This year I was fortunate enough to have a friend give me a really sturdy tomato cage and I made my own spooky witch. 

Let's bring back using what we already have.  Let's bring back Halloween cutouts for the windows.  Let's consume, store and spend less.  Let's get those creative juices going and see what we can come up with.

I know you can do it!
