There is still a lot of tanning going on down here and lots of fun for the entire family.

Prices are lower and there aren’t many long lines to stand in so if those things are important to you – October is your month. Whether you come for a 3 day weekend or a week or a month – Seaside Vacations has fabulous North Myrtle Beach Oceanfront condo rentals and beach rental homes as well as others nearby and we will help you find one perfect for you! 

On the last blog, I gave you some great recipes for Halloween appetizers. This week we decided to give you some ghoulish ideas for cheap costumes. Most contest winners are home made costumes! Be sure to grab a few items before you leave for your Myrtle Beach trip that you can make into a costume and then hit one of the Halloween parties going on in Myrtle Beach! Here are a few ideas from www.costumeideazone.com. 

Use Your Closet for Costume Inspiration

This year, you can avoid all the crowds and bothersome waiting in costume stores by using your own closet as a one-stop costume shop. Need a last-minute costume idea? Well, look no further than your own happy home. All of the materials you need are right within the walls of you home. You’d be surprised of all the great materials, accessories, and themes you can find hidden behind old clothes and boxes. Here are some of the many great reasons why you can use your closet for costume inspiration this year.

Originality

The best costumes, by far, are those that are produced with the most creativity. What consumers don’t realize is that they have a closet full of inspiration and unique materials right at home. You won’t ever have to worry about someone arriving to the party wearing the exact same outfit when you make your costume from your closet.

Instant Transformation

You’d be surprised at how well your old things can transform into new costumes. That old shirt you never wear anymore can get cut up into a vest, hood, or sash accessory. Your old skirt can be made into a cape. Rip that chiffon layer off of your old prom or useless bridesmaid dress and use it to make a haremgirl costume. For a quick bald-look, grab some old, torn pantyhose and stretch it over your hair. Old sheets are fantastic for more than ghost costumes; the possibilities with old clothes are endless. Hey, Scarlett O’Hara made a drop-dead dress from curtains, so keep an open mind!
