If You are looking for a creative costume this Halloween, with a few simple materials and a little bit of crafting, you can dress like money! These money Halloween costumes are perfect for costume contests, or as a unique statement about the economy. These money costume suggestions are innocent enough to be used for kid's costumes, as well as a group costume. Here are some suggestions:
Dollars and Cents
Dress in all black and get two large pieces of poster board or foam core board. Connect them together, sandwich board style, and paint the front of a hundred dollar bill on the front, and the back on the back.
Another alternative is to dress all in black, and get a piece of foam core board to make a hundred dollar bill with the head cut out and your face as the president. That would make a very humorous, clever Halloween costume. You could call your costume, "money talks". Combining those two ideas, you could construct the sandwich board, taping coins all over it -- then, cut out foam core in a circular shape with a hole for your head (or just eyes and nose) and be a very large coin. "A penny saved is a penny earned" could be your quip.
Wishing Well
Another money-related DIY costume is a wishing well With a box and some poster board, your costume can potentially make you a few dollars on Halloween! Cut out the bottom of a box and create shoulder straps so it hangs at about waist level. Paint it like a wishing well, with 'bricks', or get scrapbook paper in a brick theme. Your head can be the bucket, and your body can be the water. For the bucket, simply use a smaller box with a hole cut out for your head. Wear a blue shirt and tape blue streamers to your chest like water. On the front of the box you can decoratively write wishing well, and tell people to throw a coin in to make a wish. With some creativity, this easy DIY costume idea could be a real success.
