This year, save money and get creative - make a

homemade, but it's a fun holiday activity for all the family. Here
you'll find some cool and easy ideas to get your creative juices
going, with great first-hand info from a hands-on Mom of three.

They were the kids of a frugal and creative friend of mine, who proudly made the costumes herself, spending very little and putting the rest of our store-bought outfits to shame. I admit that I love surfing the web (months in advance, like an obsessed woman) for Halloween costumes, but when I think about how much I actually spend for these costumes to be used once or twice (or more if you get the younger siblings to re-use), it really isn’t funny.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.parenting-blog.net/img/35D79883-137E-422E-BA0F-B849664EDF45" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><STRONG>The Robot</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.parenting-blog.net/img/F5253CCE-FEE4-46E5-B158-F97235DE758B" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/">2. <A href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Dorothy-Homemade-Costume-Size-4-6-w-Ruby-Shoes-Wig_W0QQitemZ110439560419QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b6b5f4e3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"><STRONG>The Dorothy</STRONG></A></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.parenting-blog.net/img/5894AABE-6DA6-4F27-B6DA-490650D4C7D7" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><STRONG>The Lego Boy (or Girl)</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.parenting-blog.net/img/EA4C002F-39DD-40FF-84D5-A4074ED08C95" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><STRONG>The Mummy</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.parenting-blog.net/img/4EB900A6-BAAA-4AD9-ADCB-3D478B7F4682" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.parenting-blog.net/tips/homemade-halloween-costumes-get-creative-and-save/"><STRONG>5.
