Halloween Costumes You Already Own
Halloween is right around the corner and you're probably thinking about your outfit for the big party. But gone are the days of needlessly spending money on an outfit that you will probably never wear again. We have the spookiest fact about halloween- the outfits made for produce 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste which is the equivalent of 83 million plastic bottles. That's because most shoppers turn to fast fashion brands to find an outfit but these costumes are polluting oil-based material that ultimately end up in landfill.
We’ve put together a list of outfits that we know you already own and that won’t damage our planet. We guarantee getting creative will be the best part of dressing up!
So if you're ready for the challenge read on…
Mummy costume
We all have those old bedsheets lying around- here's how you can finally make use of them. A mummy costume doesn't have to be boring and it also doesn't have to be restrictive. We are going to share with you the easiest way to pull off this costume.
All you need:
- Outfit underneath (we recommend white) a bandeau and a pair of shorts or skirt
- White sheets
- Coffee (optional)
Steps to make your costume:
- Cut out strips of the white fabric
- Soak strips in coffee and leave to dry
- Wrap fabric around your under layer and tie to secure
- Layer over and repeat tying until under-layer cant be seen
- Go in with some fake blood for effect
