The Halloween party is getting closer, and we need to prepare the costume, but what to do if you don't have enough money to buy one. Here we tell you how to make Halloween costumes without spending more than necessary.

- Ghost. You will need to find an old white sheet; then cut it according to your height or your child's so that they don't trip while walking and cut two holes for the eyes.
- Vampire. You can dress yourself or your child in black clothing. Then you can make a cape from a black garbage bag (of course, clean or new) and cut it in half. Additionally, you can use the tape from the self-sealing bags to tie it around the neck (be very careful). You can use some makeup to paint the face; you can place a bit of eyeliner on the eyes, red lipstick to simulate blood, a sponge to apply white color for a very pale look, and you are done. You just need to buy some plastic fangs, which you can find at many places during this season at affordable prices.
- Witch. Dress your daughter in an old black dress, black shoes, and with a black cardboard cut into a cone shape and rolled up, you can make a witch's hat. You can paint some stars or the typical witch's hat ribbon with white wax. The wig can be made with pieces of black yarn fastened to a paper strip the size of the child's head circumference. To paint her face, you can use your makeup. Don't forget the beauty mark. If you have a witch's broom, it's the perfect complement.
- Mummy costume. It's very simple. Also with an old white sheet, cut it into strips and wrap your child or you can do it for yourself too.
