Halloween is a magical time of the year.  Unfortunately, with the cost of costumes for the kids, the only magic you might be thinking of is how your money disappeared just like that.  Getting a costume on the cheap isn’t easy, and even then those that do go for major discounts are often poor quality.  There are a few ways of getting a good costume under a budget though, if you are creative and good with your hands.  A vampire costume is a good piece to start with.  So how does one go about getting a cheap kids vampire costume?

If you are very good at sewing and making clothes, then making the costume yourself is the most cost-efficient way.  The only real things that you have to make are the vest and cape for a traditional boy’s vampire costume, and the skirt for the girls’ vampire costume.  Your little boy most likely has a white, long-sleeved shirt and black slacks already, so that’s less trouble for you.  The vest is not too difficult, and there are even templates available on the Internet.  The cape is deceptively simple.  A cape for a vampire costume does not need to be thick at all, just dark enough to look the part.  Getting the right shape around the neck and shoulders requires a few good stitches, and you may need some fine but stiff wire or cardboard to get the collar up.

With the clothing done, you can turn your attention to the face, specifically makeup.  You do not need much, just some pale foundation, eyeliner, and a little lipstick.  Get the foundation on evenly, and then trace thin eyebrows.  Finally, apply lipstick and you’re finished with makeup.  No vampire costume, not even a budget kids vampire costume, can be complete without prop fangs.  These go up top on the list of things to buy, so do not forget them.

For those less confident with their needlework, it would probably be best to be on the lookout for childrens vampire costumes with major discounts.  These can in turn be improved with minimal effort and look just as good as their higher-priced counterparts.
