As Halloween approaches, the excitement in neighborhoods is palpable, with children and adults preparing for the spookiest night of the year. Many are busy finalizing their costumes. Dee Dee Daniels of Humbug Costumes in Kenner says to be original…
“Do DIY, you throw things together, and its things you can reuse and build. So just be open-minded. Come in saying I want to look like this and build upon it.”
DIY enthusiasts are also getting creative, sharing ideas online for unique, homemade costumes. Daniels says don’t just copy a picture you found on the internet…
“Come in and build yourself up and bring your own inner character out.”
Daniels says as the countdown to October 31st continues, the thrill of finding or creating the perfect costume that brings out your unique personality is what this time of year is all about.
“You want it to be your own. Why look like everybody else walking down the street…you won’t win a contest that way.”
Daniels says the best tip she can give is to try it on before you take it home.
