Easy Halloween Costumes
Need a costume for Halloween? We’ve got you covered!
Who says you need a brand-new costume for Halloween? At The Scrap Thrift in Durham, secondhand clothing and a little imagination can turn an ordinary shopping trip into a costume adventure.
Looking to start with a clothing base, maybe something you can wear again when Halloween is over? Head to the thrift store!
Explore T-shirts from every era (“Got Milk?” anyone?), not to mention dresses, jackets, jeans and the pieces that bring a character to life. Go nostalgic. Go dramatic. Build an outfit around a shirt that deserves another moment in the spotlight.
And don't forget the jewelry and accessories. The right necklace, bag or flourish can take an outfit from “clothes I found” to “that's right, you know exactly who I am.”
Need a little inspiration? Watch how a few unexpected finds can become a Midwest princess, Raggedy Ann (and Andy) or a Hello Kitty-inspired look. The possibilities are as playful as they are unexpected!
Shopping secondhand is a creative way to celebrate Halloween while giving clothing and materials another life. Whether you're planning an elaborate transformation or pulling something together at the last minute, inspiration might be waiting on the next rack.
Come explore The Scrap Exchange and see what you can become!
