Start looking into common everyday items in your home. Everyday objects for your costume can add a little bit of quirkiness and fun. No more boring costumes that everybody else in your neighborhood is wearing. Another way to find a great Halloween craft idea is to think of a really wild accessory. Focusing on accessories can open more doors to creativity because they are often so easy to make.

Homemade Costumes

Here are examples of Halloween craft idea on a budget :

One ordinary object in the house which you can use for Halloween costume is a cardboard box. You can make a robot costume out of it. Slice off the opening flaps or covers of the box and cut out holes on the side of the box where the arms can go through. Line the whole box with kitchen foil using glue or glue gun. You may also use silver paint or silver duct tape. To top your look, get a round plastic bowl and line with foil from the inside out. At the bottom of the bowl, twist the ends of the foil together to great your "antenna". Flip the bowl and wear as a hat! You can use cardboard to create a box costume or beautiful sequined wings.

Balloons of different sac can also be used as a great Halloween craft idea. Balloons make great two-headed monsters! Tie your balloon to a safety pin, so you can attach it to your shirt later. Draw a face on the sac and fill in with color. Put the sac over the balloon and secure with a string or safety pin (make sure the balloon's string is no longer visible). Create a "collar" for your second head by using a bow tie or any tie design you can think of. Use yarn for hair or a hat/cap to cover the head. Finally, attach the balloon to your collar or sleeve.

Balloons are excellent for creating different shapes monsters. Attach more than one balloon to create a 3-headed hydra or an army of ghosts or goblins that follow around behind you!

Wild Accessories

There's so much more to Halloween craft idea costume accessory than capes and wings. Attach claws to your nails or make your own fangs with white plastic containers. You can also think of fairytale characters and create a deadly twist out of them like the bloody red riding hood with a basket of rotten Styrofoam fruits and slimy rubber worms.

Brainstorming for a Halloween craft idea is simply thinking outside the box. You can basically think of anything such as any household object and work your theme around it!
