Halloween is just around the corner, and if you’re still searching for the perfect costume, look no further than your local thrift store! Creating a DIY costume with thrifted finds saves money and guarantees a one-of-a-kind look.

How to Build Your Thrifted Halloween Costume:

• Get Creative: Start with a theme or character in mind, and explore sections like dresses, jackets, and even accessories for pieces that fit your idea.

• Think Outside the Box: Found an old suit? Turn it into a zombie outfit. Did you find a velvet dress? Become a vintage Hollywood starlet. The possibilities are endless when you let your imagination lead.

• Upcycle and Repurpose: Alter your thrifted finds to give them a new life as part of your Halloween attire. Adding makeup and a few accessories can turn a plain dress into a spooky ghost or a glamorous witch.
