All it takes is an old baby blanket, a pacifier, a bonnet and one of grandma's unused depends. Then, one has created a silly and hilarious Halloween costume that shows creativity.

Parents can give their child a chance to be a real nerd this Halloween. It’s as simple as slicking back the child's hair, giving him some pants that are way too short and some oversized glasses with tape in the middle. The child can even use an old backpack as a trick or treat bag.

If parents have a child who is looking to chase the small kids around the neighborhood with a little scare, they can always prepare the famous homemade mummy costume. Take some rolls of gauze, splatter some green paint (mold) and paint their child’s face white, with some added age lines. Any child is sure to have a blast with a mummy Halloween costume.

For mothers who have a little princess as their daughter, it will be easy to make them feel special with a Miss America costume. Take a pretty little dress up gown, a pair of gloves, a plastic tiara and some of mom’s oversized jewelry. A mother can top it all off by taking a wide piece of ribbon and writing Miss America on it with sparkling glitter. This will be sure to make any little girl feel special on Halloween.

All it takes is a little creativity in order to craft the best homemade Halloween costumes. Not only can parents save money, but they can also enjoy presenting their children with unique costumes that won’t be seen on dozens of other children.
