Spookiest, Wackiest, Most Original Homemade Costumes

"This site is a treasure of original 'Do-It-Yourself'
homemade costume ideas"

You don't have to be a professional costume maker in order to create amazing homemade costumes. If you've got the motivation to create your own costumes, this site will provide you with all the inspiration you need.

Here you'll find thousands of homemade costume photos and how-to tips tips to help you create your own cool homemade costumes. This site is by far the World's largest collection of "makeable" homemade costumes, and thanks to visitor submissions, it's growing larger and larger by the day.

In an effort to make it easy for you to find your way around the site, we've created these main costume categories (that branch off into thousands of sub-categories):

As visitors continue to submit new costumes, we continue to create new sub-categories. It's all manually done! Each and every costume submitted to the site is manually reviewed and added to the correct category. It's a whole lot of work, but it ensures that only high-quality content gets onto the site, saving you the time of having to sift for gems.

Just like your homemade costumes, this site is also "home-made". Unlike Facebook, MySpace and all the other big social networking sites where you see your posts immediately, everything on this site is handled manually. We are just two people, my sister, Tamar, and myself sitting at home in front of a computer just like you are right now, reviewing costumes one by one, approving each and every comment so no junk gets through, and making sure that while you're on our site, you'll get only the pick-of-the-crop.

If you're not sure what homemade costume you want to make, the Sitemap is a great place to start off and see all the categories and sub-categories in one spot. If you already know what costume you want, you can use the Search box at the top of the page, or the Navigation Bar in the left-hand column. Make sure you also check out the Costume Blog to see the costumes that have recently been added to the site.

We also strongly suggest that before you set off to make the coolest costume, you take a moment to read this Costume Warning... (so that you're costume will stay "cool" and safe...)

We hope you enjoy the photos and tips on this site, find inspiration in creating your own costumes, and help us make this free resource even better by sharing with us your own creations, commenting on the costumes you liked, and sharing this site with your friends.
