DIY Costumes Perfect for this Halloween

To quote Mean Girls, “In the real world, Halloween is when kids dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.” However, if you’re looking for something a little different this year (perhaps a funny costume, or something more modest than the typical frat-party attire) check these idea out. Not only are they unique, but they are also easy to make yourself! (Click the pictures for links to the tutorials or detailed photos of DIY costumes)
