DIY Hill Billy Halloween Costume

Halloween is the one of the most fun events that I look forward to every year. Being an expat in the Middle East, I just appreciate people who still make their Halloween as fun, colourful, and interesting as others all over the world would do with theirs. And since it is fast approaching, party goers and Trick or Treaters are scrambling for the perfect Halloween costume to wear.

For some, the scarier their costumes are, the better. Others prefer the common ones like dressing up as royalties, superheroes and superheroines, cartoon characters, sports jocks and cheer leaders, celebrities, political figures, villains, monsters, vampires, zombies, cowboys and cowgirls, and as professionals in the corporate world or society like doctors, teachers, nurses, to name a few. Others come as novelty objects like kitchenwares, money bill, food, and gadgets. While these costumes I have mentioned are interesting and utterly colourful and fun, buying them may cost you an arm and a leg!

The whole intention of doing your own costume is to cut on cost, and explore your creative streak. Your Halloween costume need not break your bank too. It should be cost savvy, easy to put together, and something you may already have in your closet.

One of the many DIY Halloween costume I can think of is the Hill Billy fellow. It is such an interesting character with lots of personality to boast!

All you need are the following and of course, you can simply change the style a bit depending on your preference.

Checkered of plaid shirt
Loose jeans or overalls
Suspenders if you have no overalls
Tattered or old boots
Straw hat or even fedora!
A pipe or a hay straw to chew on
A bandana or scarf if you have one
Fake buck teeth you can buy for less than a $
A banjo or big jug for added effect

And when you are all dressed up, you can now practice your hee haw!

Dressing Up For A Male Character For Halloween On A Budget

The excitement for Halloween is palpable! People are wondering what to wear, how to stand out, be the scariest or even the cutest character this Trick-or-Treat season. And with that said, the thought of cost comes to mind - is it going to be a splurge or save?

Choosing the best costume for a male character for Halloween does not have to be an expensive experience. It also should not be a very daunting task because it is a fun activity to do if you only know how to begin the search for the least costly Halloween costume and who you want to be this time around.

The cheapest way to dress up for the Halloween is making your own costume if you are the crafty one or you know someone who can make wonders with some extra craft supplies. You can peruse your closet of what is already available that you can alter and start from there. If you prefer to  buy one, you can check for some affordable clothes you can turn into something you want to wear for Halloween, say The Flash. This red PU Leather Jacket can be a good start and just buy crepe papers to stick on the jacket to resemble The Flash's costume or printed emblem for the Flash logo.

How about dressing up as Neo from Matrix? It is easy to achieve his look and all you need is a long, black jacket like this one. Now that is a bargain!


And if you want a simple take on this year's Halloween event, try looking like Danny from the Grease movie. He has a big hair, wears a black leather jacket and trousers, and a pair of loafers. Top the whole image with a dark shades and viola! You are now Danny from Grease! All the above items can easily be bought, or even borrowed from family or friends you know who may own some of them. That is another way of saving money scouting for your Halloween costume.


You see, the above are just few examples of how you can save big time for this fun and very creative season of Halloween. Just some extra stuff to use and a lot of creative imagination is all you need to be able to pull out the look you want to achieve for Halloween.
