Here are some costume ideas you can implement using items from Ohio Valley Goodwill. Find the store nearest you by visiting www.goodwillbargains.com. Crayon: Find a solid color sweat suit. Use puffy paint or a magic marker to print the word “Crayon” in large black letters down the length of your body. Create a pointed hat using construction paper that matches your sweat suit. You can even paint your face to match. Witch: Find black pants, a shirt or a dress. Look out for a witch’s hat. Also keep your eye out for a broom at the store. Finish the look with some face paint! Vampire: Vampires are all the rage now. To get in on this trend, find a pair of black pants, a white button-down shirt and a cape. Find white and red makeup for your face. Holiday Gift: Get in the holiday spirit a couple months early. Find a large cardboard box and cut out holes for your arms. Wrap the box in holiday wrapping paper and a big bow. Grapevine: Start with a bright body suit and leotard. Then blow up purple balloons and attach them to yourself with double sided tape. For added security, use garbage bag ties to affix balloons to the tape. The best part is, Goodwill lets you be creative and for much, much less.
