When it comes to having fun on Halloween, there is nothing more enjoyable than making your Halloween costumes at home with ordinary things you find laying around the house with the rest of your family. It could be anything you find lying around the house that you have no other use for whatsoever. The cotton balls lying at the bottom of your linen closet can be used for hair for anyone who wants to dress up like a cotton ball. Old shoes you find in the back of the closet you can use as gloves and any old gloves you find back there can be used as shoes. That would be pretty funny. If you have an old white shirt somewhere you could spill some blood on it, or something that looks like blood, whichever you prefer. Have that ready to wear during Halloween and you could tell people you got shot or stabbed. On Halloween people love to hear that sort of stuff for some reason. Not sure why. If you were shot or stabbed any other day of the year others would be concerned. Not on Halloween though, that is the one day where they think getting stabbed and shot is cool. Go Figure.
