DIY Halloween Costumes: 8 Solo Builds in 3 Time Tiers

DIY Halloween costumes planned silhouette first: 8 no-sew solo builds in 30-minute, one-evening and weekend tiers, with time, store spend and materials.
Homemade costumes start with one question: what will people recognize from across the room? The guides in this section answer it with the silhouette and two or three signature details, then build the rest from thrifted clothes, cardboard, felt and a hot glue gun. Builds are grouped by difficulty, from one evening to a weekend. Keep glue guns and craft knives on a clear table, and test-wear the costume for an hour before you go.
