Need a Cool Halloween Costume in 15 Minutes?

A shopper holds up a black sparkly lace panel.

Want to find your one-of-a-kind Halloween costume in 15 minutes, and for less than $5? 

A certain 13-year-old shopper did! The middle-schooler, who goes by the initials R.C.P., recently stoped by The Scrap Exchange with their sister and mother, on a Halloween mish. After a bit of perusing, R.C.P. found a large panel of sparkly black lace.

“I’m gonna be a crow,” R.C.P. said, holding out the lace to inspect its wingspan. “I had these wings from kindergarten. For some reason they still fit me. Like, it’s a little tight with the elastic. My Mom made them, actually. So I was thinking I would, like, lengthen them.

Skip the big-box-store scaries and stop by The Scrap Exchange this Halloween season. You’ll find a costume you won’t ghost after one wearing. Your homemade costume can be spooky, silly, glamorous, strange, or something so specific that only your best friend gets the reference. We have a wide selection of pre-loved costume pieces, fabric, bins of unexpected treasures, and a thrift store full of possibilities.

If you’re a last-minute shopper, plan to come during Spirit Week at The Scrap Exchange (October 27 through 31). If you meet our Spirit Week challenge of the day, you will get a 15% discount at the register!

Your next great costume is waiting! Come celebrate spooky season at The Scrap Exchange, where we give previously loved (and previously feared) treasures a second chance to haunt.
