THE BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS FOR ADULTS


Of the 180 million people expected to participate in Halloween festivities, there are likely just as many adults included in this number, as there are children. While it can be expected that single adults will leave the trick or treating to the kids, parties will be at the top of the list for many adults. When an invitation to a Halloween party is received it typically is not a question of whether or not to go, but rather what costume to wear. Of the millions of dollars expected to be spent on Halloween, costumes are expected to make up the majority of the expenses.

A cute costume doesn’t have to break the bank. In fact, a more cost-effective option to make your own costume. Among the many uses of burlap, costumes are one. Not only will making a costume of burlap save money, but it will also be better for the environment. A burlap costume could be recycled another year or used in a costume swap. If the decision is made to discard it, you don’t have to be concerned about it taking years to break down. Here are 3 fun costumes that can be easily made from burlap.

 Scarecrow: A scarecrow mask can be made from a burlap potato sack with the use of just a few supplies. You will need scissors to fray the end of the sack and to cut holes for your eyes. The holes in burlap make it easy to sew a little twine to make a sewn mouth. Paired with a flannel and overalls, you are set!
